Summary
Enhance your physics knowledge for a research career with this full-time Master's course focusing on plasma physics.
You'll gain a solid foundation to understand and work with plasma in tokamaks, stellarators, and laser-driven fusion devices, along with other applications.
The course covers theoretical, computational, and experimental aspects, allowing you to specialize through project choices.
A key component is a three-month project on plasma physics, usually tied to fusion, conducted with academic groups or external laboratories.
You'll explore advanced mathematical and computational methods, receive training in research skills, and complete a project culminating in a scientific report and presentations.
This course prepares you for doctoral research in plasma physics and fusion or positions in the growing commercial fusion sector.

Shape your future at Imperial
Welcome to Imperial College London, the world–leading university for science, technology, engineering, medicine and business (STEMB).
We were founded in 1907 with a mission ‘To be useful’, but we know that before anyone can usefully change something, they first need to understand it. That’s what we do here: we use science to try to understand more of the universe and improve the lives of the people in it.
Our world-leading rankings
Imperial is consistently recognised as a top global research university and we are currently ranked 2nd in the World …
