Admission criteria and prerequisite courses
University-level program
The HTGR Summer School is designed as a university-level program, open to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as young professionals from across the world.
Active engagement expected
Entry into the program does not require a minimum GPA; however, participants are expected to commit to a rigorous and engaging educational experience led by INET. Full participation in class discussion and collaborative activities is a cornerstone of the program’s success.
English language proficiency
Given that the HTGR Summer School is conducted entirely in English, it is essential that all participants demonstrate a strong command of the English language. This proficiency is necessary to ensure that participants can effectively engage in the program and interact with their peers. We recognize that applicants may demonstrate their English language capability through various means, such as:
Being a native English speaker.
Having experience with English-language instruction at the university level, or having worked in an English-speaking environment for at least six months.
Achieving good scores on one of the following English language proficiency tests: TOEFL, IELTS, CAE, CPE, Pearson Test of English (Academic) (PTEA), etc., or
Having any other supporting documentation verifying that your English proficiency meet program requirements.
Prerequisite coursework
Prospective participants are required to have completed at least one of the prerequisite courses, including nuclear physics, nuclear engineering, mechanical engineering, power engineering, and other related courses.
Fees and financial arrangements
We are pleased to announce that application and tuition fees are fully waived for prospective participants of the HTGR Summer School. This initiative is designed to make our program accessible to a broader audience, fostering a diverse and inclusive learning environment.
While the program is free of charge, attendees are responsible for their own travel expenses to and from Beijing. We understand that these costs can be significant, which is why we are offering a lump sum financial support package to a selected number of participants to assist with accommodation and/or meal expenses, for a maximum of 15 days. Selection is based on a combination of merit and financial need. The decision will be based on the application information you provide in the following “How to apply” section. Please note that accommodation stipends will not be issued to participants staying in hotels not recommended by the host institution.
To enhance your experience and ensure convenience, INET will cover local transportation to and from technical facilities and cultural sightseeing sites.
