MSc Physics with Fusion and Plasma Physics

Enhance your physics knowledge for a research career with this full-time 90 ECTS Master's course focusing on plasma physics. You'll gain a solid foundation to understand and work with plasma in tokamaks, stellarators, and laser-driven fusion devices, along with other applications. The course covers theoretical, computational, and experimental aspects, allowing you to specialize through project choices. A key component is a three-month project on plasma physics, usually tied to fusion, conducted with academic groups or external laboratories. You'll explore advanced mathematical and computational methods, receive training in research skills, and complete a project culminating in a scientific report and presentations.

This course prepares you for doctoral research in plasma physics and fusion or positions in the growing commercial fusion sector.
