Master of Science [M.S] (Science and Technology of Nuclear Fusion)
Field of Study:
€16,700/Yr
The worldwide collaboration on the development of nuclear fusion as a safe, clean and inexhaustible energy source is now culminating in the construction of?the?International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). Located in southern?France, ITER?will demonstrate 10-fold power multiplication at the 500 MW level.?
The ITER project is giving the science and engineering of nuclear fusion a major boost.?But it?will also need a new generation of highly trained engineers and scientists for its operation. Eindhoven University of Technology has selected fusion science and technology as one of its high-profile areas, by starting a dedicated research group and establishing a full-blown?master?s?program on fusion.?
The curriculum of the ?programme offered by??is truly interdisciplinary ? combining elements from?applied?physics,?mechanical?engineering and?electrical?engineering ? and places emphasis on the goal-oriented nature of fusion research.?The international character, work in interdisciplinary groups and societal aspects?of fusion research?are?also?emphasized in the program.? ?
If you are bright,?ambitious, interested in high-tech,?not?afraid?of a serious challenge, and a concern for the sustainability of the planet,?this program?might be just the?course?for you.?
You can also choose to combine this master?s program with?Applied Physics,?Electrical?Engineering?or?Mechanical Engineering?as a??double degree?.?This requires?about 6 months of extra study.
Careers
The?MSc Science and Technology of Nuclear Fusion?is the perfect preparation for a career in international fusion research.?With?construction of ITER?now?starting, a new generation of bright and well-trained fusion researchers and engineers is needed. Young people with a good overview over the field, a keen eye for the societal aspects of fusion energy and the drive to bring the incredibly complex ITER project to success.?
The future of graduates?does not have to?be at?ITER or?in the?fusion industry. Fusion is an interdisciplinary field in which many competences come together. As?a?graduate?of this program,?you will have learned to work in international, interdisciplinary teams,?towards a concrete goal?and?against a deadline. These skills and competences?prepare you well?for a career in any innovative high-tech industry. Typically,?two-thirds of graduates?from this program?continue their career in industry.
