Program and mobility
Student mobility is an inherent part of the programme structure and philosophy (see 2.2).We propose the following concrete mobility scheme. Each student resides at 2 universities in 2 different countries (60 ECTS credits at university A, 51 &t B and 9 at the winter school ).
Furthermore all students meet in the yearly summer event. Scholar cooperation and mobility is particularly promoted by the structural connection between the specialised track education provided in semester 3 and the master thesis in the same track in semester 4.
A master thesis promotor and a co-promotor (in particular responsible to guide the student in the third semester) are assigned to each student. The summer event plays a crucial role here but this is only the yearly culmination point of contacts between the involved teachers and research groups.
The two-year FUSION-EP programme is organised over four semesters. The total training programme has to amount up to 120 ECTS and fulfil certain requirements concerning mobility. This ensures a Master programme with a strong common standard and a maximum flexibility to accommodate for students with different interests, language knowledge and background.
The research activities of the partners are and will continue to be focussed on magnetic fusion. The 2 other tracks (T2 and T3) are related to T1. The expertise of the partners covers the 3 tracks. The programme is coherently structured as indicated below:
