    Physics with Fusion and Plasma Physics

    About

    Course overview

    Enhance your physics knowledge for a research career with this full-time 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.
