Nuclear Energy Education In France

The I2EN has developed the first edition of its database on French Masters of science in the domain of nuclear energy. For 2011, the base lists 54 courses and 82 datasheets have been established, a sheet for each training option.

Reactor physics, design and operation, the physics and chemistry of the nuclear fuel cycle, materials science, waste management, dismantling, radioprotection, and nuclear safety : more than 20 academic institutions in France offering education & training for better jobs and skils in nuclear energy. 

Every year over 1,100 students complete a Master’s degree in nuclear energy, which almost meets the human resources needs  of the nuclear organisations in France. Around a fifth of these students come from abroad. There are several training programs available in English which are often conducted within international exchange programs. Ongoing professional training is also available at dedicated institutions notably the Institut national des sciences et techniques nucléaires (INSTN) and industrials.

 Managing the competences is strategic in the nuclear field

'Bienvenue' to France

If the word "student" appears on their temporary residence permit or their long-stay visa, foreign students in France do not need a work permit for a summer job or a part-time job during their studies. However, the total hours worked cannot exceed 964 hours in a year, approximately 18.5 hours a week for 52 weeks.
