Science and Technology of Nuclear Fusion

Fusion at the University of technology Eindhoven is the science of extreme conditions. A new generation of fusion researchers and highly qualified engineers.
To realize the dream of clean and safe 'fusion energy', the science of extreme conditions – extreme temperatures of hundreds of millions degrees, extreme heat fluxes, extremely large magnetic fields, extreme complexity – must be translated into technological solutions. This background offers both challenges as well as career opportunities to Master students.
To meet these complicated and diverse challenges, Fusion needs to train a new type of researcher. This unique Master's program offers students a special educational program that combines the diverse types of expertise needed in Fusion research and aims at delivering highly qualified engineers. The curriculum is composed in such a way that the engineers are well prepared for both a career in Fusion research as well as for the broad field of high-tech and innovative industry.
Fusion research is very internationally oriented and the TU/e Fusion students follow internships and develop research experience at leading institutes all over the globe. Nuclear Fusion students regularly perform research projects in countries such as Australia, South Korea, Japan, the USA and many European countries.
