I just read in the Times of India that the Delhi University, in collaboration with seven French institutions, is going to offer dual-degree in MTech in nuclear science and technology from this year onwards.

Students enrolled for DU’s three-year MTech programme would be spending third and fourth semester in Paris and they would be awarded a Master’s in nuclear energy. Once they come back from Paris and spend fourth and fifth semester in DU, they would get an MTech degree.

This new Master’s degree is also offered by University of Paris, Paris Tech( consortium of 12 French institutes ), Ecole Central Supelec and INSTN.

The industry-driven programme will be offered in collaboration with EDF and Areva — organizations working in the field of civil nuclear energy.

With this new collaboration Indian students will get a chance to work as an intern with EDF and Areva. Students interning with these organizations would get a chance to work at their nuclear reactor sites.

This course will provide students with an opportunity to gain practical knowledge of production of nuclear energy.

This new course will not only help the students in acquiring knowledge on cutting-edge technologies but will also prove beneficial for our nation. As we know that India faces a big power problems and nuclear energy is answer to it because very small amount of nuclear element can produce huge amount of energy.
