Science and Technology of Nuclear Fusion

To realize the dream of clean and safe 'fusion energy', the science of extreme conditions – extreme temperatures of hundreds of millions degrees, extreme heat fluxes, extremely large magnetic fields, extreme complexity – must be translated into technological solutions. This background offers both challenges as well as career opportunities to Master students. To meet these complicated and diverse challenges, Fusion needs to train a new type of researcher. This unique Master's programme offers students a special educational programme that combines the diverse types of expertise needed in Fusion research and aims at delivering highly qualified engineers. The curriculum is composed in such a way that the engineers are well prepared for both a career in Fusion research as well as for the broad field of high-tech and innovative industry. Fusion-research is very internationally oriented and the TU/e Fusion students follow internships and get research experience at leading institutes all over the globe. The TU/e regularly has students located in Australia, South Korea, Japan, the USA and many European countries.
