Are you ready to tackle some of the most exciting engineering challenges of our time? 

The global pursuit of nuclear fusion—an energy source that is safe, clean, and virtually limitless—is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. While ITER in southern France remains the cornerstone of fusion research, the field has expanded dramatically. Startups worldwide are racing to revolutionize fusion technologies, governments are competing to build the first operational fusion reactors, and breakthrough demonstrations of fusion energy production have sparked new hope for a sustainable energy future.

Fusion presents unique engineering and scientific challenges

Controlling matter at temperatures exceeding 100 million degrees, designing and operating superconducting magnets, withstanding intense power fluxes and radiation, and mastering the operation of the most complex machines ever built. These are not just technical feats—they are opportunities to be part of a transformation that could redefine energy for humanity. At Eindhoven University of Technology, our Master of Science and Technology of Nuclear Fusion equips you to meet these challenges head-on. The program integrates applied physics, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering into a cohesive curriculum tailored to the practical goals of fusion research and technology development. Beyond technical expertise, you will gain experience in international, interdisciplinary teams, with a strong focus on the societal and ethical aspects of fusion energy.

If you are bright, ambitious, and ready for a serious challenge, and if you share a passion for high-tech innovation and a commitment to sustainability, this program will prepare you to lead in the emerging fusion energy revolution.

You can also choose to combine this master’s program with Applied PhysicsElectrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering as a â€˜double degree’. This requires half a year to a year of extra study.

IAEA Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme (MSCFP)

*Please note if you are going to follow the Fusion master and if you are female, then you can apply for this scholarship.

The Programme aims to inspire and encourage young women to pursue a career in nuclear related fields, by providing highly motivated female students with scholarships for Master’s programmes and an opportunity to pursue an internship facilitated by the IAEA.
