European Master
of Science
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.

A MAJOR MILESTONE FOR OUR PROGRAMME!

Last week, we submitted our final report to the ECEA, the European agency that provided most of the funding supporting our programme over four student intakes.

Preparing this report involved a substantial amount of work, but it also gave us a valuable opportunity to look back on what we have achieved together.

And there is plenty to celebrate! Just to highlight a few key figures and achievements:

🌍 82 graduates from 28 countries around the world.

⚖️ A strong commitment to gender balance, reaching up to 40% female participation – a particularly encouraging figure in a field where women remain underrepresented.

🤝 A strong and reliable consortium of leading universities and research institutes, bringing together outstanding expertise in fusion science and engineering.

These achievements reflect the collective commitment of our students, academic partners, researchers and everyone who contributed to making the programme a success.

A big thank you to all those who have been part of this journey. This is something we can all be proud of!

 

A NEW ACADEMIC YEAR, NEW MILESTONES FOUR OUR STUDENTS!

As the academic year gets well underway, it's time to give a warm welcome to our new M1 students!

This year, they are embarking on their studies in two different locations: Madrid, where they will specialise in Fusion Sciences, and Stuttgart, where they will focus on Fusion Technology.

We wish them all the very best for this exciting new chapter and look forward to bringing everyone together in person at CEA-Cadarache next March!

Meanwhile, our M2 students are getting ready for another important highlight of the programme: two weeks together at IPP Prague for the Erasmus Mundus TRAIning Course (EMTRAIC).

A great opportunity to deepen their knowledge, exchange ideas and strengthen the bonds within the student community.

A big thank you to our Associated Partner IPP Prague for organising this course once again and for its continued commitment to the programme!

Wishing all our students a successful and inspiring academic year! 🚀

FUSION-EP is evolving!

To align the FUSION-EP curriculum with recent evolutions in the field, a number of changes will be implemented starting from the upcoming academic year 2025-2026. This involves both the choice of track and the mobility scheme. Read all about it in the Programme section.

NEW STUDENT COHORT STARTING IN SEPTEMBER 2026

A new cohort of students has been selected to start their studies in FUSION-EP in September 2026. We wish them a lot of success!

FUSION TECHNOLOGY TEXTBOOK

A new textbook "Fundamentals of Magnetic Fusion Technology" has just been published by the IAEA. The editor is the founding father of the FUSION-EP programme, Prof. Guido Van Oost. The book can be downloaded or ordered via the button below.

FUSENET MASTER EVENT

On Nov. 23, 2023, the FuseNet Organization held its annual online Master Event. Master students, starting or graduating, were invited to meet the community and learn more about the fusion field.
