Apply before 15 February 2025 for the Erasmus Mundus European Master of Science program in nuclear fusion and engineering physics.

The European Master of Science in Nuclear Fusion and Engineering Physics (FUSION-EP) is a two-year Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) funded by the European Union. Focusing on the physics and technology of nuclear fusion as an energy source, it offers research-oriented education in engineering physics, offered by a consortium of eight European universities. No Erasmus Mundus scholarship will be available for this campaign.

The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is organizing a Fusion Engineering Academy over two weeks in early 2025 at the Culham Campus near Oxford. The training will have these features:

  • Specifically for engineers and scientists (a STEM degree is a prerequisite)
  • Hands-on activities
  • Lectures supported by written assignments and study sessions with a tutor
  • All Academy materials will be open access

The Academy is divided into two parts (10-13 February 2025 and 3-6 March 2025), which can be booked separately, although it is recommended that delegates take both. (Any delegates attending Part 2 only will be asked to study the introductory material from Part 1 which will be supplied.) Registration is open now.
