Luckily,the EM Msc degree will be mostly accepted for PhDs in Europe. Here are a few options that are open to you going forward (not in any particular order):

EUROPE

They do take EMFusion people.

Fusenet.edu is supposed to keep a very good database of fusion education in Europe (run by the TUe kids), have a look there as well.

THE US

  • Winsconsin MAdison has an excellent plasma physics for fusion group. It is known to have taken a Msc EM student 2 years ago, but not immediately from the application but because he went into the campus to speak to the profs.
  • MIT - Alcator C is still runnin!
  • Princenton - needs no description...
  • University of Washington

!!! Warning: For PhDs in the US you **must** contact the supervisors beforehand, or go see them. Your chances of success with just sending an application are rather slim.

CANADA

  • UTIAS - Graveyard group from the golden days of Stangeby's bible. Funding is slim.
  • Saskatchewan - They have a small Tokamak. Still accepting Msc students.
