Erasmus Mundus Master of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (EMM-Nano), Europe

Highlights:

Four leading educational institutions in Europe offer a joint Erasmus Mundus Master of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (EMM-Nano). The programme offered is a truly integrated one, with a strong research backbone and a very important international outreach. The objective of this course is to provide top quality multidisciplinary education in nanoscience and nanotechnology.

The EMM-nano is a two-year, 120 ECTS, English language degree programme. Thanks to its combination of partners, expertise and courses, it offers you a unique integrated master programme, covering all aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology, while at the same time allowing you to design an individual study programme with specialization in essentially any field of nanoscience and nanotechnology.

It facilitates studying at two separate participating universities where you spend one year per country. It is strongly multidisciplinary: you receive a basic training in all the disciplines offered, one of which becomes your area of specialisation. At the end of the program you will receive a joint degree from the two universities where you studied.
The fast evolution of the field requires a strong consortium with noted educational experience in the field.

The educational partner institutions are

Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (K.U.Leuven),Belgium (Coordinator)

Chalmers Tekniska Högskola (Chalmers), Sweden

Université Joseph Fourier Grenoble, France

Technische Universität Dresden (TU Dresden), Germany

The course is organized with the support of three associated research partners:

IMEC in Leuven (Belgium)

CEA-LETI in Grenoble (France)

Leibniz Institute for Solid State Materials Research in Dresden (Germany)

These institutions provide access to world-class infrastructure for nanotechnology research and development as well as opportunities for graduating students to continue their studies with a PhD. This strong link between education and research ensures a contemporary programme at the cutting edge of state-of-the-art research.

!!!! IMPORTANT CHANGE OF DEADLINES !!!!!

!!!!!
The application deadline for EU and non-EU students is January 31, 2011 !!!

We advise applicants, however, to submit their application at the latest by January 15th, 2011 in order to avoid last minute problems with incomplete files, overload of the application website etc., and to have some margin to cope with such problems. Application files that are incomplete or partially uploaded on the deadline of 31 January 2011 will not be considered.

Remark: bachelor students from one of the partner universities who will study one of the two master years at their home university or EU-students who do not apply for a scholarship can apply until May 31, 2011 !
