National Institute for Fusion Science
Overview
The Fusion Science program fosters integrated science and engineering scholars who have a systematic understanding of the wide range of science and engineering fields required for the early realization of fusion reactors and who are capable of working in a variety of research fields. By conducting advanced research (experimental, theoretical, etc.), rationally understanding research results, and taking on unexplored research challenges, our students acquire new technologies and skills with high value and contribute to the realization of fusion energy and other human developments.
This program consists of a five-year doctoral program for bachelor's degree holder and a three-year doctoral program for master's degree holder. Students will conduct their studies and research activities at the National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS), located in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture.
