(NLDO) - If you research carefully, nuclear engineering graduates can find suitable jobs near their homes.
In the program "Bringing school to candidates" organized by Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper at Bao Loc High School (Lam Dong province) recently, Dr. Do Van Toan, Deputy Head of the Faculty of Sociology and Social Work - Da Lat University, said that nuclear engineering majors currently have many job opportunities after graduation.

The Prime Minister has just issued Decision No. 245/QD-TTg dated February 5, 2025 approving the Plan for the development and application of atomic energy until 2030, with a vision to 2050; at the 9th session, the National Assembly voted to pass the Resolution of the National Assembly on specific mechanisms and policies for investment in the construction of the Ninh Thuan nuclear power project, demonstrating the State's interest and investment in this field. This opens up many job opportunities and career development for nuclear engineers in the future.
According to Dr. Toan, when nuclear power plants are built and operated, the demand for highly qualified human resources in this industry is very large.
However, not all universities offer this major. Currently, there are only four universities nationwide offering this major, including: Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Ho Chi Minh City University of Science, Hanoi University of Science and Dalat University.
After graduation, students can work at the National Atomic Energy Institute; Nuclear Research Institute; Department of Science and Technology; Department of Natural Resources and Environment; nuclear application centers; medical facilities, hospitals, irradiation centers, private irradiation facilities or study and train in countries with developed nuclear technology to become experts in nuclear engineering.
Dr. Do Van Toan advises students on career opportunities in nuclear engineering.
One thing that surprised many students in Bao Loc City was that nuclear engineering majors can work in hospitals. Specifically, they can work in radiation oncology rooms, diagnostic imaging, and nuclear medicine departments in medical facilities.
Jobs include: Design, operation, maintenance of medical equipment using radiation and nuclear technology such as X-ray machines, CT scanners, PET-CT scanners, radiation therapy machines. In addition, nuclear engineering graduates can work in research organizations, nuclear safety regulators or medical technology companies.
According to Dr. Toan, students in Lam Dong province will have many advantages if they choose this major. Da Lat city has a training university, Da Lat Nuclear Research Institute (opening up opportunities for internships and work in an in-depth research environment), Lam Dong General Hospital has a Department of Nuclear Medicine (where nuclear techniques are applied in disease diagnosis and treatment),...
"Especially with the National Assembly's approval of the nuclear power project in Ninh Thuan province, it opens up great opportunities for graduates to work in a province near Lam Dong province," Dr. Toan emphasized.

Dr. Toan added that Dalat University is a public university under the Ministry of Education and Training with 67 years of establishment and development, covering an area of nearly 40 hectares. Currently, the university provides multidisciplinary training with 40 majors including the following majors: Law - Economics - Tourism; Natural Sciences and Technology; Social Sciences and Humanities and especially teacher training with 9 pedagogical majors. Current tuition fees are about 7.5 - 8.5 million VND/semester, suitable for students from provinces in the Central Highlands and South Central regions.
