Magnetic confinement fusion is a field aiming at delivering a sustainable, carbon-free massive energy production track within a few decades. The field has changed gear since the ITER International Organisation has been set up and started to build the ITER device in the EU.
The FUSION-EP programme is organized in two periods of increasing spezialisation in two different countries, until the 3rd semester's distinct track possibilities: Fusion Sciences and Fusion Technology. A very comprehensive insight into the cutting-edge R&D in nuclear fusion is guaranteed by the broad range of expertise available in the Consortium.
In addition to its strong internationalization, a unique feature of FUSION-EP is the stimulation of the students' learning performances by innovative training methods. One on-line and three mobility joint sessions are implemented throughout the curriculum, during which, the students practice their academic knowledge in research situations. They enrich their set of transferrable skills by working in a multicultural environment. Each summer a 4-day event is a further opportunity for the students to meet each other and visiting scholars and lecturers.
The fourth semester is focused on the application of the learning outcomes in a professional situation. This placement period is used to prepare the Master thesis at a partner or in industry. The defense of the student’s master thesis is held in public during the Summer event, attended by all students.
Minimum graduate admission requirements:
(1) A bachelor's degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution (minimum 3 years study or an equivalent 180 ECTS)
(2) Sufficient undergraduate training to do graduate work in the chosen field
(3) A satisfactory academic average and ranking within the peer group
The application to the FUSION-EP master programme is open to all students who have or are in the process of obtaining a Bachelor's degree or a recognized equivalent academic degree of minimum 3 years study (180 ECTS or more) in physics or engineering (nuclear, materials, chemical, electrical).
Applicants with another degree but with experience or knowledge in one of these fields can be admitted on decision by the FUSION-EP Steering Committee on the basis of their CV and other evidences.
Country of origin:
Students from all countries can apply. The Selection Committee uses the same selection criteria for all students.
Language requirements:
The English level reference is CEFR C1, corresponding approximately to TOEFL iBT: 94 min., IELTS: 7.0 min. (with a minimum of 6.0 for each part) or Cambridge English C1. Alternatively, you will provide a proof that you have been enrolled and successful for at least two years in a 100% English-speaking programme.
