The Joint European Master in Nuclear Fusion Science and Engineering Physics (FUSION-EP )

The aim of the European Master in Nuclear Fusion Science and Engineering Physics (FUSION-EP) programme is to provide a high-level, multinational, research-oriented education in fusion-related engineering physics, in close relation to the research activities of the partners, together with a well-integrated language and cultural experience.

The combined and harmonized teaching & research of the 7 universities offers a broad range of competences in the field of fusion science and engineering physics. The Joint European Masters Programme offers a genuine European opportunity for Master level studies in a field which is of crucial importance to solving the urgent and vital problem of world energy supply.

Erasmus Mundus Scholarship

Per academic year a limited number of Erasmus Mundus scholarships are available for FUSION-EP students from third countries.

Scholarship scheme:

• Amount I (Contribution to the student’s travel, installation and other personal costs) will have to be paid:

For Category A scholarships will be distributed over 2 years with a higher starting month allowance in September of 2800 EUR and 1200 over the remaining 11 months

• Amount II (Maximum contribution to the EMMC participation costs - including insurance coverage)
  will be collected by the EMMC consortium directly on the condition that the student has signed a “student agreement” with the consortium in which the amount and the costs covered by it have been clearly indicated.
• Amount III (Monthly allowance) will be paid on a monthly basis to the student’s personal bank account together with amount I.

TOTAL
Per academic year € 24.000 (€ 16.000 on account of which € 4000 after arrival and € 1000 per month)

For the academic year 2010-2011, the FUSION-EP Erasmus Mundus consortium can select a limited number of students to be granted a scholarship. Without prejudice to the respect of high academic standards, in order to ensure a geographical balance across third-country students, the FUSION-EP consortium shall respect the following basic criteria when selecting third-country students:

• no more than 2 of the selected third-country students should come from the same country.

Third Country Students
The FUSION-EP considers as "Third Country students" (category A): Nationals coming from all other countries than:

  - People who have not carried out their main activities (studies, work, etc.) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in any of the above countries.

Admission Criteria
The European Master FUSION-EP offers admission to applicants who appear to have the highest potential for graduate study and who, with the benefit of a graduate education, are the most likely to contribute substantially to their academic or professional fields through teaching, research, or professional practice.
The minimum graduate admission requirements are:

• A bachelor's degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution (minimum 3 years study)
• Sufficient undergraduate training to do graduate work in the chosen field
• A satisfactory scholastic average

The FUSION-EP is open to all students who have a Bachelor's degree or a recognized equivalent academic degree of minimum 3 years study in

• physics
• engineering
• Applicants with another degree but with experience or knowledge in one of these fields can be admitted on decision by the FUSION-EP Managing Board on the basis of CV and other evidence.
