The MSc program at the York Plasma Institute will introduce you to computational and experimental plasma physics in view of a career in fusion.
Research into fusion is entering an exciting new era with several large facilities aiming to achieve the crucial milestone of net energy gain. New international fusion facilities are crucial steps on the way to reliable fusion energy but there are still many challenges to overcome.
This MSc will prepare you to address these challenges. You will be introduced to the skills in computational and experimental plasma physics, and conduct cutting-edge research under the guidance of physicists at the York Plasma Institute.
You'll take a number of core lecture courses, supplemented by laboratory work designed to develop your computational and experimental skills. You can choose from a range of option modules to focus your learning on topics you wish to pursue further.
You will also explore the many exciting areas of modern plasma research, for example: cutting-edge medical therapies utilising plasma jets and beams of laser-generated ions; plasmas as compact particle accelerators and next generation plasma space propulsion systems.
The MSc culminates in a major research project where, under the supervision of world-leading physicists at the York Plasma Institute (and opportunities with our external partners too), you will conduct cutting-edge research in fusion.
