Aix Marseille (AMU) is at the heart of French and European research in nuclear fission and fusion, with several internationally renowned laboratories working on these topics. ISFIN's graduate school aims to help you benefit from this exceptional research environment by relying on
- A strong collaboration between the laboratories located on the AMU site and the CEA Cadarache (80 km from Marseille), the largest nuclear fission research centre in Europe, the operator the Jules Horowitz nuclear reactor (RJH) and WEST tokamak (fusion device): practical work, master's courses, numerous joint PhD thesis, courses and seminars given by researchers specializing in the field, etc.
- A strong proximity between the laboratories on the AMU site and the international organization ITER in charge of the construction and operation of the largest thermonuclear reactor in the world (ITER tokamak, Cadarache, 80 km from Marseille): joint research projects, joint PhD thesis, internships, master's degree courses given by researchers, educational visits to the facilities, etc.
ISFIN's Graduate School allows you to
- Choose between a traditional university education or an apprenticeship education
- Work and train on large installations from the Master's level onwards
