Research positions in nuclear chemistry often require education beyond the undergraduate level. An undergraduate degree in chemistry, followed by a graduate program in nuclear chemistry at either the master's or doctoral level, prepares students for a career in this field. For those looking to teach at the post-secondary level, a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) is generally a requirement.
Although nuclear chemistry is not one of the five traditional sub-fields of chemistry, it has many of the same educational requirements as those fields. A thorough grounding in physical Science is a significant educational requirement and can prepare students for further specialisation in chemistry and nuclear chemistry.
