The International Masters Program (Master of Science, M.Sc.) in Geospatial Technologies is a cooperation of: * Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster (WWU), Institute for Geoinformatics (ifgi), Münster, Germany. * Universitat Jaume I (UJI), Castellón, Dept. Lenguajes y Sistemas Informaticos (LSI), Castellón, Spain. * Universidade Nova de Lisboa (UNL), Instituto Superior de Estatística e Gestão de Informação (ISEGI), Lisboa, Portugal, * selected within the Erasmus Mundus Programme, project reference: 2007-0064/001 FRAME MUNB123.

Medium of instruction: English
Awarded joint degree:  Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Geospatial Technologies

The three-semester Masters program targets holders of Bachelor degrees in application areas of Geographic Information (GI), e.g., environmental planning, regional planning, geography, logistics, transportation, marketing, energy provision, computer science. GI is a rapidly growing market, lacking qualified GI personnel and offering excellent career chances. Therefore, the Masters Program targets life-long learning for graduates and professionals in the fields of geography, surveying, planning, local adminstration, etc., who are willing to acquire additional GI skills for applying them in their respective GI application area.

Erasmus Mundus Masters Scholarship in Advanced Spectroscopy in Chemistry

/ January 11, 2011 Leave a Comment

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.
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 ASC master programme will:
-guarantee quality (all partners have official accredited Masters in chemistry)
– Allow students access to techniques not available locally (mutualisation of the equipment)
-provide a sound background in Advanced Spectroscopy, both in experimental techniques and in scientific knowledge;
-promote students mobility within a network of research laboratories spread amongst countries from a large area of Europe in an environment where they will be well looked after.prepare students to become experts in far reaching experimental techniques in Spectroscopy.
-help and prepare students to develop skills to follow future doctoral studies, and/or towards professional activities.

The originality of this programme is to allow students to choose their research master thesis in one highly specialized field according to their professional objectives. The high level of equipments available in the consortium is unique.
