At the heart of an exceptional research site in fusion sciences, this master's degree will provide you with a solid background in fundamental physics combined with a strong specialization in fusion sciences and technologies.
Objectives of the master
The objective of the first year (M1) is to give a high level training in fundamental physics covering a vast domain, with an introduction to plasma and fusion sciences.
The objective of the second year (M2) is to develop and strengthen one's knowledge in fusion and plasma sciences through common courses, and to specialize in "Magnetic Confinement Fusion" or in "Plasma Physics and Technology" through elective courses.

Work and study program during the master second year
Work and study program is available in the second year of the master. Courses are identical to the standard program but with an adapted schedule to allow you working in an industry or a research laboratory in the field of plasma physics (fusion, cold plasmas, charged fluids) at the same time. Many governmental organizations, start-ups or large companies are likely to welcome you (CEA, Rio Tinto, APREX solutions...)

The advantages of the master
- The first year of the Master's program includes a 2-month internship in a laboratory in order to take a first step into the world of research. The second year includes a 4 to 6-month internship
- The second year can also be done as a work-study program in an industry or a research laboratory.
- The second year includes a one-month grouping at the WEST tokamak site at CEA Cadarache for practical work. All the students of the national federation "Formation aux sciences de la fusion et des plasmas chauds" (Paris, Nancy, Bordeaux, Marseille) and of the Erasmus Mundus Fusion EP master's program meet each other.
- Both years include seminars and lectures given by fusion researchers from ITER, CEA Cadarache or the University of Aix Marseille, and site visits (ITER, CEA...)
- Possibility of international mobility grants for internships abroad, many research laboratories welcome interns at AMU
- Numerous opportunities for thesis work at AMU and with our national and international partners
