| − | The Fusion-EP master is a two-year international master focused on Nuclear Fusion. Each student resides at two universities in two different countries, 60 credits at university A, 60 credits in university B including the 30 credits for the master’s dissertation. The universities are located in [[Madrid]], [[Gent]], [[Stuttgart]], [[Marseille]], [[Nancy]] and [[Prague]]. Moreover, there are two [[Cadarache Event | winter events in Cadarache]] to visit the ITER and WEST Tokamak, one [[Prague Event | joint experimentation and analysis session in Prague]] where the COMPASS Tokamak is located. Furthermore all students meet twice in the yearly [[Summer Event | summer event]], once as a master 1 student and once defending the dissertation as a master 2 student. An overview of all [[General Programme | deadlines and events is found here]. | + | The Fusion-EP master is a two-year international master focused on Nuclear Fusion.

| | What follows is the [https://studiekiezer.ugent.be/european-master-of-science-in-nuclear-fusion-and-engineering-physics-EMFUSI-en official introduction] from the UGent website. The studies in Engineering Physics are devoted to the technical applications of physics and strongly supported by the research activities in the different laboratories within the Consortium. By combining the basic concepts of a degree in engineering with the essentials of an education as an engineering physicist, these studies seek to train engineers capable of performing or leading technical and scientific research in universities, research establishments or industry. The engineering component of the studies makes the physics engineer familiar with the analysis, design and optimization of new and existing systems, products, machines, materials etc., for which simplification to manageable system descriptions (from rules of thumb to expert systems) is essential. In the physics component the reductionist approach holds centre stage; here experiments and mathematical modelling seek to reduce physical phenomena to their very essence and to discover the physical laws applicable. Even though the approach has a more philosophical slant, the rigorous attitude is essential, and a physical theory should stand a validation by experiment. Physics engineers are trained, first and foremost, for R&D purposes. Their wide-ranging education makes them fit for all companies and research establishments where interdisciplinary R&D requires in-depth knowledge of physics. They will constitute a substantial percentage of the large number of additional researchers required for the establishment of the EU as the best centre of excellence in the world. Both components of the studies especially qualify the physics engineer to fill executive jobs at a later stage. | | What follows is the [https://studiekiezer.ugent.be/european-master-of-science-in-nuclear-fusion-and-engineering-physics-EMFUSI-en official introduction] from the UGent website.
