Students Opinion |
| An International Master programme in Materials Science | |
| The new Master programme is offered jointly by the Universidade de Aveiro in Portugal, Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg in Germany and Aalborg Universitet in Denmark. It was developed as an exclusive toplevel programme that requires students to study in at least two of the three Universities in order to be awarded a Joint Master Degree. For its outstanding academic quality, it was selected by the European Union as an ERASMUS MUNDUS programme. | |
|
An interdisciplinary Masters |
| EMMS is an interdisciplinary Masters, integrating course units delivered by academic staff from three partner universities and leading guest scholars. Based on our longterm excellence in teaching and research, you will deal with the relationships between synthesis, composition, processing, structure, physical and chemical properties and the performance of materials in advanced technological applications. | |
| Taught entirely in English |
|
| EMMS is taught entirely in English and aims to specialise you in the science and engineering of ceramics, metals, polymers and composites, with emphasis on a variety of subjects like materials for electronics, biomaterials, nanotechnologies, etc. In addition you will be able to choose from a number of electives including courses in local languages and European cultural studies.You will have a unique opportunity to experience the European business and industry cultures by means of compulsory work assignments/internships in leading companies. | |

|
The course is officially recognised by the national ministries of Higher Education and independent agencies (TUUH; AAU ???; UA – in preparation). The consortium is monitored by the EACEA via: - clear definition and control of selection procedures - analyses of detailed techinal and financial reports sent by the coordinator every 6 months. - online questionnaires to the students - random financial audits - annual interview with coordinator - occasional site visits Internal assessment of course lecturers is carried out via confidential students’ questionnaires. An advisory panel consisting of members from partner universities of ECIU and Industry assesses the course every two years. |
