Fermi Energia awards two scholarships a year to support Estonian students studying abroad in the field of nuclear energy. The scholarship will support two academic years of study abroad at the postgraduate level.
Nuclear energy and nuclear technology is a very interesting and international field, which offers graduates a wide range of opportunities to work all over the world and hopefully in Estonia in the future.
Fermi Energy recommends the following master programmes:
- KTH Royal Institute of Technology, MSc in Nuclear Energy Engineering, Stockholm, Sweden
- LUT Lappeenranta University of Technology, MSc in Nuclear engineering, Lappeenranta, Finland
- ETH-EPFL Compound Programme, MSc in Nuclear engineering, Zurich/Lausanne, Switzerland
We also recommend you to have a look at the other postgraduate programmes in nuclear energy. European Nuclear Society lehel.
General conditions:
- The scholarship will be awarded for a maximum of two academic years (2 x 10 months), at a monthly rate of €1000.
- The recipient of the scholarship will have to work for 3 years at Fermi Energy after the studies, provided that Fermi Energy offers a professional job.
