Course 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. MSc Physics streams This is one of several MSc Physics streams available at Imperial. You may wish to consider choosing one of the following streams: **Physics (generic stream) Physics with Extended Research Physics with Fusion and Plasma Physics (this stream) Physics with Quantum Dynamics**
Entry requirements
Normally a First class Honours in Physics, or a relevant Scientific or Engineering discipline A solid understanding of Mathematics, Thermodynamics, and Electromagnetism, along with proficiency in Python or a comparable programming language, is required.
