The Nuclear Education Consortium includes 12 UK universities and other higher education institutions. It was established in 2005 to organize educational and training programs for the release of diplomaed (master's degree) and certified specialists, as well as advanced training courses. Students can choose from 22 different modules covering the entire spectrum of education and training in the nuclear industry, taught by reputable experts. As all members of the consortium acknowledge, only together they can provide such a wide range of modules and training courses. All modules are short-term, which ensures a minimum separation of specialists from production.
The production of nuclear specialists by UK universities has almost as long a history as the nuclear industry itself in the country. The first university program to award graduates a Master of Science degree in Nuclear Physics and Engineering was organized at the University of Birmingham in 1956. Among the oldest are also programs in Radiation and Environmental Protection at the University of Surrey, Nuclear Safety Engineering at Lancaster University, Radiometry at the University of Liverpool and Nuclear Reactor Engineering and Safety at the Naval Academy. in Gosport.
In the early 2000s, curricula for the training of nuclear professionals were going through very difficult times. A report prepared by the Occupational Safety and Health Commission in 2002 concluded that
“if education in the nuclear industry were a patient, it would be in intensive care,”
"the need for urgent action, without which nuclear education will gradually disappear."
Nuclear courses continued to be taught as part of various educational programs, and small research groups continued to function. However, there was a clear need for the development of nuclear education, since qualified personnel were needed for the maintenance and operation of nuclear power plants, as well as for the decommissioning of old installations. In 2005, there were twelve operating nuclear power plants in the UK - seven with AGR reactors, four with Magnox reactors and one with PWR; seven stations were in the phase of decommissioning. It was in these circumstances that the Consortium for Nuclear Engineering Education was created.
Consortium
The nuclear industry influences the activities of the Consortium for Nuclear Education through the Supervisory Board, which consists of representatives of 15 industrial companies. Direct management is carried out by the Steering Committee, which includes one representative from each university member of the consortium. The consortium has twelve members:
- Manchester University;
- Imperial College London;
- Liverpool University;
- University of Leeds;
- Birmingham University;
- University of Sheffield;
- London City University;
- Lancaster University;
- University of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland (Thurso, near the Downry site);
- Research Institute at Westlakes (next to the Sellafield Atomic Complex);
- College of Management and Engineering of the Academy of the Armed Forces (training specialists for the nuclear navy);
- University of Central Lancashire (joined in 2009).
All partners that make up the consortium have their own specialization and provide complementary opportunities for training personnel for the nuclear industry, which makes the consortium a unique educational center.
The consortium is currently running 22 educational modules (see Table 1).

Opportunities for training and development
Traditional educational programs for the Master of Science degree in the UK last for one year, with the writing and defense of the thesis in the summer months. This allows students to start their Master's program immediately after completing their bachelor's degree and complete it at the same time as new bachelor graduates to be able to enroll in industry-led graduate courses or graduate programs.
However, since education in the nuclear industry must be closely linked to production needs, before launching any new educational program, it is necessary to enlist the support of industry enterprises. As a result of consultations with enterprises, it was concluded that the traditional model is poorly suited to the needs of the industry, since it is unprofitable for organizations to have an employee absent for an entire academic year. Accordingly, a new approach based on modular learning was adopted. In this case, the training includes a period of self-study, after which the module itself is taught for one week, and then independent tasks are performed. That is, to complete the module, a student needs to be present at the university for only one week. This format allows you to go through the various modules one by one. Since the qualification assigned once based on the results of passing the module is retained, a specialist can gradually increase his level over several years. The complete structure of the educational program is shown in the figure.
After completing one module, the student needs to complete three more to receive a certificate, after another four modules a diploma is issued, and after writing and successfully defending a thesis, a master's degree in natural sciences is awarded. Accordingly, to obtain such a degree, students can enroll in both full-time studies for one year and modular studies for three years. Students attend one module at the respective university and then choose eight modules for their master's degree, and the time for passing the various modules can be distributed as the student wishes.
In order to assist students in the choice of modules, two main specializations have been defined - "Nuclear Engineering" and "Decommissioning". Each of them includes four mandatory and four elective modules. The following modules are mandatory for the specialization "Nuclear Engineering":
- №01 "Physics of a nuclear reactor, criticality and design",
- №02 "Nuclear fuel cycle",
- No. 03 "Radiation protection and radioecology" and
- No. 13 "Nuclear Safety".
Specialization "Decommissioning":
- No. 04 "Decommissioning / RW management / Remediation",
- No. 10 "Processing, storage and disposal of radioactive waste",
- No. 29 "Technologies and robotics during decommissioning" and
- No. 31 "Management of decommissioning works".
Forms of study
The consortium works in close cooperation with industry enterprises to improve the methods and format of teaching. The modules are focused on giving the maximum amount of information in a short time, minimizing the absence of a specialist in the workplace. However, other, more flexible approaches to learning are possible, suitable for those young cadres who are more comfortable studying in the evenings and on weekends. A new approach is also the organization of a completely distance learning, allowing the student to complete the module without coming to the university. The traditional structure of communication between a student and a lecturer can now be reproduced as closely as possible with the help of Internet technologies. Lectures are recorded and available for remote viewing, as well as Powerpoint presentations with comments to them, and on-line forums allow students to communicate both with the lecturer and with each other. "Questionnaires" are also available for self-testing of knowledge, which can also be used as training material, since the student can choose different answers until they get the correct one with explanations. The student can then go through the "questionnaire" again and monitor the improvement of knowledge.
Even exams can be taken remotely - from the workplace, from one of the universities or the British Embassy, although all exams are taken at the same time in Greenwich Mean Time, regardless of the country where the examinees are located. All these technologies ensure the full participation of students from other countries in the educational activities of the consortium, both in advanced training courses and in master's programs. Each module can be in either a short course format or a part-time format, giving students a choice. Both formats give the same level of preparation, and according to their results, the same exams are taken.
Conclusion
The consortium has been in existence for the fifth year and continues to evolve, both in terms of increasing the number of students, modules, participating universities and learning formats. Since 2005, the nuclear industry has been on the rise again, new nuclear power plants are being planned around the world, and countries that previously had no nuclear installations are considering building their first reactors. The consortium is now ready to train specialists not only from the UK, but is also actively involved in the training of personnel for foreign countries in need of qualified workers to ensure the safe and reliable operation of new modern reactors, as well as to decommission existing plants.

Consortium universities With service : Russian experience of creating a network university |
The tasks for educational institutions that train personnel in the service sector are enormous, - said the chairman of the Consortium Council, the rector of the St. Petersburg State University of Service and Economics at the meeting Alexander Viktorov. - Therefore, in June 2009, the leading Russian universities united in the National Scientific and Educational Innovation and Technology Consortium of Service Universities. The goal is to radically improve the quality of training specialists for a vast dynamically developing service sector by coordinating the training of personnel for the service sector in different regions of the country and using the principles of self-regulatory organizations. Today, the Council of the Consortium, together with the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, is solving the problem of organizing an experimental Federal Innovation Platform to develop a model of a network educational and scientific university complex. We will develop innovative methods of personnel training. Quite practical tasks are also being solved: the academic mobility of teachers and students throughout the country is significantly increased, there are more opportunities for the use of distance learning methods, the implementation of electronic educational resources, etc.
The first meeting of the Consortium took place on November 26, 2009 in St. Petersburg. The core of the Consortium is 6 specialized service universities, and in total the Consortium currently consists of 11 Russian universities that train specialists for the service sector. The geography of the Consortium participants is from Makhachkala to Omsk, from Vladivostok to St. Petersburg. It includes: Vladivostok State University of Economics and Service, Vladimir State University, East Siberian State Academy of Education, Dagestan State Technical University, Omsk State Institute of Service, Volga State University of Service, Ryazan State University named after, St. Petersburg State University of Service and Economics , Tver State University, Ufa State Academy of Economics and Service, South-Russian State University of Economics and Service. Thus, the Consortium is able to cover the entire space of the country with innovative projects. This is important if we recall the world forums, the organization of which is entrusted to Russia in the coming years - the APEC 2012 Summit in Vladivostok, the 27th Summer Universiade 2013 in Kazan, the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, and many others.
Currently, on the basis of the universities of the Consortium (where 106.6 thousand students study in service specialties and more than 3.3 thousand teachers work), a project is being implemented to create the first network university in Russia. The main goal of creating a new type of educational complex based on networking is to improve the quality of training for the service sector. The structure of the organization and the content of the training of specialists within the framework of the scientific and educational consortium will be of a network nature. Within the framework of the network being created, the principle of student and teaching mobility is being implemented. Distance learning methods and electronic educational resources are also widely used. The educational process will be built on a modular basis. This will make it possible to organize long-term internships for students.
BY THE WAY
In the St. Petersburg state National University of Service and; economy and other platforms consortium over the past year with held a series of meetings dedicated to nyh question of the organization; experiment mental platform for working out models of network educational a new type of complex based on Nazi onal scientific and educational innovative technological Consortium of Service Universities.
This modern multi-level scientific and educational structure, among other tasks, is designed to implement scientific and innovative support for service activities in the business community based on the integration of the scientific, educational, innovative and technological potential of the Consortium member organizations.
In the context of the demographic decline, which was especially pronounced during the admission of applicants in 2010 and will manifest itself in subsequent years, the new multi-level model of the educational complex based on network interaction is of particular relevance, as it allows stimulating interest in Russian higher education in a promising world economy service sector from foreign applicants.
The following rectors of Russian service universities took part in the meetings:
- Vladivostok state university economy and servisa (rector - h. n., Professor LazarevGennady Innokent'evich);
- Omsk state ininstitution service (and. about. rector - d. t. n:, Professor Stripling Lion Fromtovic);
- Volga stateuniversity service (rector - h. n., Professor Erokhin Lydia Ivanovna);
- Saint- Petersburg sovereignnatural university service and economy (rector - h. n., ProfessorViktorov Alexander Dmitrievich);
- Ufa state akademi economy and service (rector - h. n., Professor Degtyarev AlexanderNikolaevich);
- South- Russian statefoot university economy and servisa (rector - d. t. n., Professor Procopenko Nicholas Nikolaevich)
The Ministry of Education and Science of Russia studied the experience of creating a network university on the basis of the St. Petersburg State University of Service and Economics (SPbGUSE).
Meeting of rectors of service universities in Russia on training for. service sector took place on May 22, 2010 on the basis of St. Petersburg State University of Economics under the leadership of the Deputy Minister of Education and Science Isaac viburnum. The Deputy Minister held a meeting to discuss the experience of organizing and operating the National Scientific and Educational Innovation and Technology Consortium of Service Universities. At the headquarters of the educational industry of the country, they are interested in creating an experimental platform for testing a model of a network multi-level educational and scientific university complex. In fact, the Consortium of Service Universities is becoming an innovative platform in the field of education for the whole of Russia.
The Minister of Education and Science of the country spoke about the results of this meeting at a meeting of the Council of the Russian Union of Rectors, held on May 24, 2010 at Moscow State University Andrew Fursenko. The ministry positively assessed the St. Petersburg experience.
We will support network and association universities,” the minister said. - In St. Petersburg, a meeting was held between rectors of service universities that created a network university. The purpose of this innovation is to improve the quality of education, academic mobility, joint grant work, DIV_ADBLOCK23">
Within the framework of the National Scientific and Educational Innovation and Technology Consortium of Service Universities, intensive work is already underway today.
Thus, vice-rectors in various areas of work of the universities participating in the consortium began to interact on issues of academic mobility of students, grant activities, distance learning, development of a new generation of educational process management systems, etc. Already after the meeting of rectors of service universities, vice-rectors scientific work of the universities of the Consortium gathered for a methodological seminar at the South Russian State University of Economics and Service, and in June the vice-rectors for educational and methodological work conferred in Vladivostok. In June. a meeting of vice-rectors for academic work of the Consortium universities was held at the Volga State University of Service.
The rectors of the universities participating in the Consortium regularly meet at regular meetings in different universities of the Consortium. On June 18, 2010, one of these meetings was held in St. Petersburg, during the International Forum "Innovative Technologies in Service" held at St. Petersburg State University of Economics. The forum "Innovative technologies in service" was held on the basis of the St. Petersburg State University of Service and Economics in 2010 for the second time. This year, within the framework of the forum, a round table of young scientists and graduate students of the National Scientific and Educational Technological Consortium of Service Universities “New paradigms of innovative management in the service sector” was held.
Students and graduate students of the Consortium's universities are the first to benefit from the organization of the Consortium. Truly unique opportunities open up for them::: By enrolling in any of the universities participating in the Consortium, students can study in a number of programs, as well as undergo production and training internships at any of the universities that are part of the Consortium. two specialties at the same time and receive not one, but two diplomas upon graduation.The number of areas and specializations is noticeably increasing compared to those that are in each individual university.But in general, all this works to improve the quality of education.
Students of the Consortium universities took part in the IV Interuniversity scientific and practical conference of students and graduate students "Socio-economic aspects of service: current state and development prospects", held in St. Petersburg on April 12-14, 2010. SPbGUSE in the summer of 2010.
Currently, a new social network of the Union of Young Scientists and Postgraduates of the Consortium is being tested, the full launch of which is planned to be made this autumn. And by the end of 2010, the creation of a unified electronic library base for all universities of the Consortium will be completed, which will significantly increase the capacity of the library collections of each of the universities.
If we talk about 6 immediate prospects, the development of the Consortium is planned in various directions. Thus, the issue of integrating the scientific schools of the Consortium's universities is currently being resolved, as well as the entry of the leading scientists of the Consortium's universities into dissertation councils of partner universities.
Thus, the process of integrating the scientific, educational, innovative and technological potential of Russian universities is gaining momentum; and there is reason to believe that in the very near future this work will bear fruit in the form of a qualitative leap in the development of the service sector in our country.
