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.

NEW: From the next academic year 2025-2026 onwards, the two tracks - Fusion Science and Fusion Engineering - will be available from the first master year (M1). Each track will be taught at a different M1 site.

NB: At the moment it is not known whether Erasmus Mundus scholarships will be available for students starting in 2026.
