Nuclear engineering

I want to work on nuclear fusion, what course do I take to become a nuclear engineer (Undergrad) with 5 Bs in A level predicted?
Might be worth looking at higher apprenticeships with nuclear companies.

e.g. Rolls Royce, BaE, Westinghouse

Alternatively if you want to work for in fusion research perhaps think about a standard engineering or physics degree followed by a postgrad at a uni with a fusion research group e.g. https://www.york.ac.uk/physics/research/plasma-physics/vacs/

Thank you very much
Trent and UWS have Physics with Nuclear Tech.

Liverpool has it too but they want ABB. Maybe give them a shot too.

The rest, Birmingham, Lancaster, Leeds want a bit more

Oh wow, thanks Kardas, I appreciate your help ^^
Perhaps do a PhD in nuclear physics ?

I'm not exactly an A grade students, being predicted 5 Bs, but I think the NTU one looks good, what is your opinon?
