Japan's Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy Ltd and the Tokyo Institute of Technology yesterday started a degree course in nuclear power, energy and the environment at Electric Power University in Ha Noi.
Japanese professors from Tokyo Institute of Technology (TITECH) will teach around 40 EPU undergraduates.
It is a part of a Japanese international human resource training programme meant to help Southeast Asian countries that plan to embrace nuclear power but lack human resources at universities and other institutions.
Courses will also be established at TITECH where students from Southeast Asian universities were accepted.
