Curriculum
The shared core every student studies, whatever their department
How It Works
One shared foundation, three departments
ATSNEE's five-year STEM program combines a strong foundation in mathematics, sciences and languages with advanced study in nuclear engineering and technology. Every student takes the shared courses below, taught by professors from Egypt's nuclear authorities, alongside hands-on work in labs and workshops.
- Year 1: all students study together in three classes of about 20 students.
- End of Year 1: each student chooses a department: Nuclear Electronics, Nuclear Electricity or Nuclear Mechanics, with 20 seats in each. When more students want a seat than there are seats, higher grades decide.
- Years 2 to 5: the shared courses continue next to the department's own courses, and grading happens within each department.
