The fusion revolution is gathering momentum. Around the world, massive new fusion experiments are racing to turn scientific theory into a source of power. If successful, fusion could provide humanity with a virtually limitless supply of clean, safe energy, transforming how we power our world for generations to come. 

Our fusion energy Master's course is changing:
From September 2026, we’ve redesigned our fusion energy Master’s course: broadening the course to provide a more holistic view of fusion, with the aim of helping you to develop the competencies needed to join a growing fusion workforce (or a wide array of other career options). 

The course includes optional modules that empower you to specialise in one of four key areas that are needed to deliver fusion: the physics of fusion, engineering for fusion, computational methods for fusion, or engineering management for fusion. We therefore seek applicants from and with diverse backgrounds.

How do I find out more?
See the course web page for more details and register now for one of our upcoming open afternoons.

The agenda will include:

  • Introduction from the Programme Leader (Professor Nigel Woolsey)
  • ‘The Student Experience’ – a presentation from a past MSc Fusion Energy student
  • Q&A session
World-leading tutors
Learn from internationally-renowned researchers pushing the boundaries of knowledge in fusion energy
Research excellence
Our research environment - the support we give to our researchers - is ranked 5th in the UK according to the Times Higher Education’s ranking of the latest REF results (2021).
Novel research projects with our experts
Conduct novel research under the supervision of our world-class researchers, with potential for collaboration with external organisations
Cutting-edge techniques and facilities
Access to state-of-the-art data analysis techniques and equipment, in purpose built teaching, research and laboratory spaces

I have really enjoyed the MSc - it is a challenging, but very rewarding course. I have found the quality of teaching very high, and I have received a huge amount of support from academic members of staff.
