Erasmus Mundus Programme (ASTROMUNDUS) at Astrophysics



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.

Participating Institutions

Main topics

AstroMundus offers an excellent educational level in all branches of Astrophysics, as insured by the wide variety of expertise in the field covered by this international partnership. The main topics covered by the Master programme are:
  • Galactic Astrophysics
  • Extrasolar planets
  • Extragalactic Astrophysics Active Galactic Nuclei
  • Cosmology
  • Particle Cosmology
  • Astroparticle Physics
  • Gravitational waves
  • Observational astrophysics from the ground and from space
  • Computational astrophysics (N-body simulations, magneto-hydrodynamic simulations)

Erasmus Mundus Program (ASC) - Master of Science: Advanced Spectroscopy in Chemistry


Background:

The ASC network aims at preparing students to become experts and develop international skills towards doctoral studies, and/or professional industrial careers in chemical analysis and characterization of the structure of materials and a mobility scheme ensures that, in addition to high specialization and access to state of the art technologies, students will do a common core curriculum of studies in different higher education institutions throughout Europe. This is a two year (4 semesters, 30 ECTS each) Master program and the courses are taught in English from which the first semester is dedicated to providing all candidates with a common platform in advanced spectroscopic methods, including magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, optical spectroscopy and diffraction techniques and in the second and third semesters, more specialized instruction is provided with applications in molecular synthesis, biology, nanotechnology, modelling, “green chemistry”, medicine, and new energy sources. The Master‘s thesis will be strongly encouraged to be based on a collaborative project between two of the partner institutions, thus adding up an even more demanding European dimension to the program.

Admission criteria:

The selection procedure takes place within a framework common to the seven partners of the consortium and the partners select on the basis of study results, a CV, a statement of purpose and two letters of recommendation. They would not discriminate between their own students, students of other universities of EU or non-EU countries. .

Application, evaluation procedure

All applications are assessed by  a centralized consortium commission. A weighting scheme is applied to the following selection criteria, assessed from 1 (minimum) to 5 (maximum), thus producing a weighted arithmetic mean:
 - academic records of previous studies
 - scientific background of undergraduate studies
- ranking of Academic Institution where undergraduate studies were done
- motivation letter
- recommendation letters
- mastering of foreign language
- acquired practical experience
- Awards and grants  

Deadlines
