Background:
Astro Mundus is a 2-years Erasmus Mundus Masters Course (120 ECTS) in Astronomy
and Astrophysics accessible by a consortium of 5 partner universities. Its main
objective is to provide top-ranked students with an outstanding background in
Astrophysics, to introduce them to the world of modern astrophysical research,
and foster their future career in this field. At the same time, in the spirit
of the Erasmus Mundus program, we promote cultural exchanges between Third
Country and European students and academics. AstroMundus students carry out
their master studies in at least 2 and up to four of these countries, in a
stimulating and scientifically exceptional international environment. The official
language of the course is English, but students are given the possibility to
learn the languages of the host countries by attending language courses at the
partner universities. Flourishing students will be awarded a Joint Master
Degree by all partner universities they have visited during the Master studies.
