Doctorate in nuclear physics

The doctoral training in nuclear physics aims to educate highly qualified researchers capable of conducting fundamental and applied research in the field of atomic nucleus physics and its interactions.

It is based on a solid background in theoretical and experimental physics, quantum mechanics, particle physics, as well as experimental and numerical methods, with a particular emphasis on the analysis and interpretation of scientific data.

Research activities focus in particular on nuclear structure, nuclear reactions, fundamental interactions, nuclear detection and instrumentation, as well as applications of nuclear physics in the fields of energy, medicine, environment, and industry.

The program prepares graduates for careers in higher education, scientific research, and research and development within academic institutions, national laboratories, and industrial organizations.
