Plasma Technology and Thermonuclear Fusion Sofia University St.Kliment Ohridski

Overview

This Plasma Technology and Thermonuclear Fusion programme at Sofia University St.Kliment Ohridski is intended for specialists with Bachelor’s degree in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics and Informatics or Engineering Sciences. 

The main goal of programme is to train highly qualified specialists. It offers education in two modules: 1) “Plasma Technologies” and 2) “Thermonuclear Fusion”. 

Key Features 

• The two modules have a basic training in the areas of plasma physics, vacuum technique, plasma generation methods and determination of plasma parameters.

• The objective of the training of the students from module “Plasma technologies” is to gain in-depth knowledge of the gas discharge plasma sources, theirexploitation and application in the ecology, medicine, industry, as well as the deposition of planar and nano-structures for microelectronics. 

Career

Masters graduates will be able to work as:

• constructors, maintenance and service specialists in the field of modern plasma technology;

• specialists in low-temperature plasma physics (modeling, experimental measurements of plasma parameters);

• specialists in high-temperature plasma physics (modeling, experimental measurements of plasma parameters);

• specialists in maintenance of modules and devices used in fusion systems;

• specialists, experts, consultants in companies and in public or private institutions related to the application of plasma technologies;

• research and teaching staff at universities and research institutes. Graduate students will have the possibility to apply for doctorate in the field of plasma physics.
