Master Energie — Sciences et Technologies des Plasmas (STP)

Tuition fees are 292 USD per year.

Université de Toulouse, located in Toulouse Cedex 9, France, offers the master's program Master Energie — Sciences et Technologies des Plasmas (STP). Its French title, Sciences et Technologies des Plasmas, translates as sciences and technologies of plasmas, and it belongs to the wider Master Energie program at the university. The discipline covers the physics of plasmas and their scientific and industrial applications. Students typically study plasma physics fundamentals, plasma processing techniques, fusion energy research, and applications in materials treatment, lighting, and semiconductor manufacturing. Coursework combines theoretical physics with hands-on experimental methods carried out in laboratory settings, including diagnostics used to characterize plasma behavior. Graduates often pursue careers in research laboratories, the nuclear and fusion energy sector, or industries that rely on plasma-based processes such as microelectronics and surface treatment. Students also gain exposure to vacuum technology, spectroscopy, and the instrumentation used to generate and control plasmas in controlled environments. This mix of theory and experimental training supports work on both fundamental plasma physics questions and applied industrial processes that rely on plasma technology. Such training also builds a foundation for further specialization in nuclear science or advanced materials engineering. Students complete the degree over two years, beginning their studies in September, with tuition set at 250 EUR per year and all coursework conducted in French.
