Don’t let this intimidate you! The Fusion CDT programme is a 4 year PhD programme which gives us plenty of time in the first 6 – 12 months to teach you all you will need to know to fulfil a successful research project.

Each year we link with Culham Centre for Fusion Energy and other leading universities to offer an Open Day for students interested in a PhD or Masters degree in fusion energy.
The Open Day features:
- Opportunities to meet our world leading academics and to talk to our current PhD students.
- Talks on magnetic fusion, inertial fusion, materials science and engineering.
- A chance to tour JET and MAST-U experimental facilities.
The Open Day usually takes place in November/December and more details will appear on our website and on CCFE’s website here: https://culhamphd.uk/
The Fusion CDT welcomes part-time applications. These will be considered on a case-by-case basis. In addition to the usual considerations including funding and suitability for doctoral study, assessment of part-time applications will include, typically in discussion with the candidate following interview, whether the requirements of the project are compatible with the applicant’s non-PhD commitments.
Offers for part-time study can only be made when the registering university offers part-time doctoral study and when it is known that two consecutive years of the taught portion of the programme can be delivered.
If you are interested in part-time study please contact the relevant project supervisor to discuss. Please also contact the Fusion CDT programme director (Roddy Vann – roddy.vann@york.ac.uk) to discuss the taught programme.
