The aim of the master’s program is to provide a high-level multinational research-oriented education in fusion-related engineering physics, in close relation to the research activities of the partners, and with a well-integrated language and cultural experience. The combined and harmonized teaching and research of the 7 institutions involved, offers a great variety of competences in the field of fusion science and engineering physics.
The joint European master’s program offers a genuine European opportunity for master level studies in a field which is of crucial importance to contribute to the solution of the ever more urgent and vital problem of world energy supply. The partners have a long relationship in the framework of the coordinated EURATOM research program on nuclear fusion.
Student mobility is an inherent part of the program structure and philosophy combining the mandatory stay of the student at two universities in two countries (first and second semester in one university, third and fourth semester in a second institution, including the realization of the master thesis).
The two-year FUSION-EP program is organized over four semesters. The total training program has to amount ups to 120 ECTS.
The program structure is combined with a mandatory stay of the student at two universities in two countries as indicated in the table below:
| University A: | University B: |

A Winter event near Cadarache (ITER site) will take place at the beginning of semester 4 (February-March) and takes 2/3 weeks. The program will contain courses and hands-on research activities in the field of nuclear fusion and plasma physics.
In between the first and the second year and after the second year a Summer Event (rotating between partners) is organized. At the first Summer Event, the partners propose a joint list of master thesis topics, with each topic belonging to a track. Each student now has to choose a particular track and a particular master thesis topic in this track. Coaching is provided at the Summer Event and fair balancing of the students over the partners is promoted. At the second Summer Event, the students defend their thesis in front of an international Examination Committee, the M1 & M2 students and international speakers. The Summer Event takes 5 working days, usually in the week of July 21.
All the partners offer the four semesters. To provide a general engineering physics education at master level, to prepare the students for the advanced track courses and to accommodate students from different backgrounds (which will remain present in spite of the selection procedure),
- The first semester starts with 4 compulsory physical/technical courses complemented by a Language and Culture course intended to immerse the student in the local language and culture.
- The second semester counts 3 compulsory courses, completed by two elective courses (i.e. courses from a well-defined and restricted list).
These courses are not identical at each university, but each partner schedules a course which is considered by the consortium to cover the topic indicated by the generic title.
For the second year (semesters 3 and 4), the student must choose a track or specialization. The program offers 3 tracks, all of them fusion-oriented:
- T1 (Track 1): Plasma physics (fusion-oriented)
- T2 (Track 2): Computational methods in physics
- T3 (Track 3): Plasma and fusion technology & engineering
Mobility
The student will pass in two host universities, each during 2 semesters.
The host universities are:
- Ghent University, Gent
- Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3), Madrid or Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), Madrid
- Université de Lorraine, Nancy/Metz
- Universität Stuttgart, Stuttgart
- Aix-Marseille University, Marseille
- Czech Technical University, Prague
A Program student can start in his own country. EU students or non-EU students already present in one of the partner universities can apply for regular Erasmus+ exchange support when going to one of the other partner universities.
In the second semester, the M1 students are invited to assist the M2 students during 2 days in Cadarache (near ITER).
In the 3rd semester, the student will stay 10 days in a research center abroad (IPP Prague) and during the last semester, all students will spend 2 weeks in Caderache near ITER. (see Winter Event).
During the month of July both M1 and M2 each year in another partner university, students spend one week in the Summer Event where M2 students graduate.
