Major in
Nuclear Engineering

Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic) (Honours)

Apply nuclear engineering concepts to electrical systems, control, instrumentation and safety-critical technologies. Ideal for students interested in nuclear facilities, defence systems and complex engineered environments.

Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours)

Focus on reactors, materials, thermal systems, propulsion and advanced manufacturing. This pathway is well suited to careers in naval nuclear propulsion, energy systems and industrial nuclear applications.

Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic) (Honours) + Master of Engineering (Mechanical)

This combined degree is ideal for students who want deep technical breadth across electrical, electronic and mechanical systems. By pairing electrical engineering with advanced mechanical expertise, you’ll be well prepared to work on complex, multidisciplinary systems found in nuclear power, defence platforms and advanced manufacturing environments.

Graduates develop strong capabilities in systems integration, design, testing and commissioning - skills highly valued in nuclear facilities, shipbuilding, energy infrastructure and defence industries.

Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic) (Honours) + Master of Engineering Management

This pathway blends advanced electrical and electronic engineering skills with leadership, management and decision-making capability. It suits students who want to move beyond technical roles into project leadership, systems oversight and organisational responsibility within high-risk, highly regulated environments such as nuclear engineering.

You’ll gain the technical depth needed to understand complex systems, alongside the management skills required to lead teams, manage risk, and deliver large-scale engineering projects.

Bachelor of Science majoring in Nuclear Engineering pathway to Honours

This pathway is designed for high-achieving students who want to build research capability alongside strong scientific foundations in nuclear engineering. You’ll study nuclear systems, radiation and materials while developing analytical and research skills that prepare you for the Honours year.

The integrated Honours pathway is ideal if you’re considering postgraduate study or science-focused roles in nuclear research, regulation, safety or technical analysis within highly regulated environments.

Bachelor of Science majoring in Nuclear Engineering

This degree offers a strong scientific foundation for understanding nuclear systems, radiation and materials behaviour. You’ll explore the science behind nuclear technologies while developing quantitative, analytical and problem-solving skills used across energy, defence, healthcare and research sectors.

It’s well suited to students interested in technical advisory, regulatory, analytical or research support roles in nuclear-related industries.

Bachelor of Science (Advanced Science) pathway to Honours

Designed for high-performing students, this pathway combines advanced scientific study with early exposure to research in nuclear engineering. You’ll deepen your understanding of nuclear systems and radiological science while building the skills required for Honours-level research.

This pathway supports progression into postgraduate study or specialist scientific roles in nuclear research, defence, safety and policy.

Bachelor of Science (Advanced Science)

This degree allows you to explore nuclear engineering through an advanced scientific lens. You’ll engage with complex concepts in nuclear systems, materials and radiation while strengthening your analytical and problem-solving skills.

It’s ideal for students seeking science-focused careers in research, technical analysis, safety assessment or further postgraduate study in nuclear-related fields.

Bachelor of Arts and Science

This interdisciplinary degree combines nuclear science with studies in the arts, humanities or social sciences. You’ll gain scientific literacy in nuclear engineering alongside strong communication, ethical and policy awareness skills.

It’s particularly suited to students interested in sustainability, regulation, science communication, policy development or community engagement roles connected to nuclear technologies.
