Course summary
About the course
The Fusion Power cohort-based training programme is provided by a collaboration between five UK universities (Durham, Liverpool, Manchester, Oxford, and York), other research organisations including Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, and industry such as Tokamak Energy, First Light Fusion and OxfordSigma.
The Fusion Power cohort-based training programme provides training from world-leading experts in a range of fusion-relevant disciplines, focusing on the aspects of materials science, and plasma physics, required to make fusion power a reality.
You will be trained to PhD-level (a PhD is known as a DPhil at Oxford) in disciplines related to fusion power. A significant number of fully-funded four-year doctoral studentships are expected to be available each year. The programme expects to train at least 80 students over five intakes from 2024 to 2028.
The majority of projects are expected to collaborate with the wider fusion industry.
You will have access to a range of fusion materials facilities within Oxford and across the UK, and international links provide access to many other fusion devices around the world.
The combination of world-leading experts and world-class facilities creates an outstanding training environment for the next generation of fusion scientists - the generation who may exploit STEP, ITER, NIF and other international experiments to make fusion energy a reality.
Course outline
In Oxford, students will focus on materials for fusion power. You will train and study alongside students undertaking the DPhil in Materials, together forming an Oxford cohort of research students in materials.
The programme is normally carried out in four years of full-time study under the supervision of an experienced member of staff. The first year will be focussed on training.
