Language Requirements

Since English is the official language of the programme, a high level of written and spoken English is required. This knowledge can be accredited with the results of an official C1 English diploma (CEFR) including evaluation of the 4 areas: listening, reading, speaking and writing.

As a general rule, the following minimum scores are required:

• TOEFL (iBT): 95-120
• IELTS: 7.0 - 8.0
• Cambridge ESOL: Certificate in Advanced English (CAE)
• Common European Framework (Languages): Level C1

The language requirements will not be required to those students whose mother tongue is English or students who have completed their undergraduate studies in English, upon presentation of the relevant documentation.

TUITION fees

The tuition fees are stipulated by the program and must be paid to the coordinating institution (Université de Aix-Marseille).

Students awarded with an Erasmus Mundus scholarship are exempted.

The coordinating university will pay to the partner universities the local tuition fees for the students pursuing the academic year at the corresponding university. In the case of Universidad Carlos III, the local tuition fees are:

60 ECTS in the first academic year:

• EU students: €2,701.2 (€45.02/ECTS credit)
• Non EU students: €5,044.2 (€84.07/ECTS credit)

✎│Tuition fees
 

NOTE: the indicated public prices do not include in any case, neither the ECTS corresponding to the Formative Complements that the student must take (only master's degrees with previous Formative Complements), nor the  the cost of issuing the master’s degree certificate.
 

IMPORTANT

All the students have to enroll in the Coordinating University (Université de Aix-Marseille):

• Application procedure

The students following the program in Universidad Carlos III must also be enrolled in Universidad Carlos III.

Additional information (Uc3m)

• You can register on the Master’s degree program when you have finished the application admission process and you have received your acceptance.
• When performing the enrollment you can choose between  Full-time enrolment or Part-time enrolment.
• The email address which the University provides to the student upon enrollment will be used principally for communications with said student. For this reason, it is essential that it be actualized and periodically consulted.
• Failure to make payment shall result in non-admission or termination of enrollment according to that established by the University. In case of annulment of registration because of failure to make payment, Universities can demand payment for previous enrollment in earlier academic years as a previous condition for enrollment.
  Universities shall not issue a diploma or certificate when a student has payments of any kind pending.

[+] information

Fusion science and engineering has its natural area of application in the actually existing fusion devices in the world (Europe, Japan, United States, etc), which demand a considerable number of experts in the field.

This is the case, for example, of the CIEMAT (“Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas”), in Madrid, where there is a magnetic confinement fusion device, stellarator type (the TJ-II stellarator), and, in particular, of the international project ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) in Cadarache (France), actually under construction, which will require in the coming years a large number of physicists and engineers with a solid background in the field of plasma physics and nuclear fusion.
