Students who have achieved excellent academic performance and passed relevant examinations can obtain the qualification of studying for a master's degree without examination and enter the stage of engineer education for further study.

At the end of the sixth academic year, students can complete all required courses and obtain the required credits, and complete the internship and graduation thesis specified in the teaching plan, so as to obtain the master's diploma of Sun Yat-sen University; Students who meet the relevant provisions of the national master's degree regulations can obtain a master's degree certificate and a French-recognized "certificate of nuclear engineer of China-France Institute of Nuclear Engineering and Technology".

Q: Do students from China-France Institute of Nuclear Engineering and Technology have to pay higher tuition fees?

No, this major implements the national unified charging standard for ordinary colleges and universities formulated by the Ministry of Education. Student tuition is the same as the average standard of the school, and no extra tuition is charged. The charging standard for the first four years is 5 160 yuan/year. The latter two years are charged according to the standard of professional degree.

Q: What kind of textbooks do students use?

There are three types of textbooks used by students:

The first category: French course textbooks and some professional course textbooks will use the original French learning textbooks (the corresponding textbooks will be more expensive).

The second category: textbooks for public courses (including compulsory courses and elective courses) will be uniformly selected by the school.

The third category: the teaching materials of some professional courses will use the handouts prepared by the teachers.

Q: What are the employment prospects of this major?

Graduates of this major have high-quality scientific research ability and technology development ability, and strong adaptability. Become an international high-end professional engaged in scientific research, teaching, engineering technology and technical management in the fields of nuclear energy engineering construction and management, environmental safety management and nuclear power plant operation. After graduation, students are mainly engaged in research, design, construction, operation and management for large nuclear power enterprises at home and abroad (such as French EDF Group and China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group) and nuclear technology application related units (such as radiation medicine and environmental safety).

Q: Does this major have any safety problems when working in nuclear power-related enterprises?

Nuclear energy is an efficient, clean and safe energy source. All nuclear power-related enterprises have strict safety guarantee system and radiation protection measures, and relevant operation and maintenance personnel need to undergo strict professional training before taking up their posts. Statistics show that working in a nuclear power plant for one year is equivalent to taking an X-ray. Therefore, it is very safe to work in nuclear power-related enterprises.

Introduction of French engineer education system

The French engineer education system was founded by Napoleon, mainly to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional theory and practice of students trained by national universities. After more than 200 years of accumulation, it has formed its own distinctive characteristics in the world. The academic system of French engineers is five years, which is equivalent to the master's degree of western countries (the United States, Britain and Canada). After graduation, you can get the French engineer certificate. French society has a sense of identity close to worship for engineer certificates, and the employment rate and social status of graduates from engineering colleges are very high.

French engineer education is divided into two stages:

The first stage is the engineer preparation stage, which lasts for two years and accepts high school graduates. It belongs to the basic course stage and focuses on the basic knowledge education in universities. The engineer preparatory class is a higher education system specially serving the education of French engineers. It is mainly located in high schools selected by the Ministry of Education, and is taught by teachers specially selected by the Ministry of Education. (Some universities offer preparatory courses for engineers, and a few engineering colleges have their own preparatory courses with a five-year academic system).

The second stage lasts for three years and belongs to the professional learning stage. At this stage, only students over the second year of college and students in pre-engineering classes who have undergone strict selection are accepted. In the first and second years of the second stage, students are required to practice in the enterprise for 3 to 4 months, and in the third year, they are required to practice for half a year, which is very technical and allows students to assume the responsibility of engineers immediately after graduation.

The French engineer education system has the following characteristics:

1. Strict admission and selection system. Engineers trained in the traditional mode, especially those trained in universities with a long history, must undergo strict selection and examination.

2. The combination of imparting knowledge and cultivating ability. French engineer education emphasizes the development of students' thinking ability and requires students to have the ability to analyze, abstract and grasp concepts. For example, the quizzes in the preparatory course are all questions that students have never seen before, and they are all very complicated new questions. The purpose of this educational method is to cultivate students' innovative ability and the ability to start solving new problems. In today's shrinking technological living space, this educational concept is particularly important.

3. Pay attention to the research of humanities and management science. Engineers should not only have solid scientific and technological knowledge, but also have agile reasoning ability. They often undertake management work in enterprises. Therefore, the training of engineers must include management knowledge: macro/micro economics, finance, organization and management, etc. In addition, they have to learn how to think from the perspective of philosophy and anthropology, so that they can deeply understand what responsibility is and what decision is. Because engineers will play the role of "decision makers" in enterprise projects. They must analyze and predict what impact their decisions will bring to enterprises, employees, the environment and society, and they must know how to take responsibility.

4. Close integration with enterprises. Most French engineers work in industry or service industry, that is, in enterprises. In order to make students better adapt to their future careers, enterprises appear in all dimensions of engineer education: First, enterprises directly participate in engineer education. Secondly, enterprises accept student internships. Thirdly, enterprises participate in school committees, and school management is mainly undertaken by three committees: administrative Committee, academic Committee and research Committee, all of which have enterprise representatives.

Combining the characteristics of French engineer training mode, such as strict selection system, small teaching scale and close cooperation with the economic field, and combining with the traditional teaching mode of China University, it will become the experimental window of high-tech talent training mode and bring new ideas and enlightenment to the development of engineer education in China.
