120 credits in science and technology including Electromagnetic Field Theory and Nuclear Physics. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.
This course concerns the principles and potential of fusion energy as a future power source. You will study the basics of fusion, plasma physics, and the mechanisms of magnetic confinement with an emphasis on tokamak physics. The course also introduces fusion-fission hybrids and their role in bridging current and future energy systems. Special attention is given to the integration of fusion energy into electricity networks, addressing both large- and small-scale production challenges. The environmental and technical aspects of fusion energy are explored in the context of sustainable energy solutions.
