An international university course with European added value

ENEN (European Nuclear Engineering Network)

Supported by the 5th Framework Programme of the European Commission, the European Nuclear Engineering Network (ENEN) is preparing the future European Nuclear Education schemes, degrees and requirements. More than 20 European universities and other education-related institutions are participating in this consortium.

The course

To demonstrate the benefits of international co-operation for such activities and to promote the knowledge of students in nuclear engineering a 19 days course is being organised starting at 27 April 2004. The main organiser of this international course is the Institute of Nuclear Techniques of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics.

The language of the course is English. The main emphasis of the course is to perform reactor physics experiments on three different research- and training reactors in three different cities (Vienna, Prague, Budapest). The experimental work is preceded by theoretical lectures aiming to prepare the students for the experiments (Bratislava). The students’ work will be evaluated, and upon success the students will get a certificate. The home-university of the students attribute the finale ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) value to the students. The ENEN recommended values are between 6 and 8.

European added value and European Credit Transfer System

The quality control and accreditation of ENEN assures a European added value, and guarantees that the acquired knowledge of the participants will fulfil the requirements of the European Nuclear Education and fits in the European ECTS system.
