Unit 5 . Research project.

Organization

Thefirstsemester ofstudiesis universal for all students. It consists of lectures, repetitions and laboratories taught by an advanced multinational and multidisciplinary instructional team.

Thesecond semester brings the student in close contact with the environment of a research institute in academia or in industry via the creation of a research project, chosen from the list of proposed projects and internships. The project is finalized with a public presentation at the University of Montpellier in June and evaluated by an international jury.

Students canenroll simultaneouslyinto DU and one of the L3 programs of University of Montpellier (Physics, Chemistry or Electrical Engineering EEA), and validate 60 ETCS credits to obtain European L3 level of higher education.

Applications

Whocanapply ?
French and foreign students having validated 2 years (120 ETCS credits) of academic programing in sciences.

All courses are taught in English, so proficiency in English isrequired.
The program is not providing scholarships.

Wheretoapply ?

Applications should be send by e-mail to program coordinators :

• • • Lucyna Firlej – Email
    • Jeremie Torrres – Email

Further studies

Students who validated the DU and the total of 180 ETCS credits can apply to any Master program in material sciences.
We recommend 3 master programs in material sciences located in the south of France:

• Master in materials science exploring large scale facilities MaMaSELF :www.mamaself.eu;

• Erasmus Mundus Master in Membrane Engineering EM3E :http://em3e-4sw.eu;

• Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree “Chemical Nanoengineering : https://chimie-sciences.univ-amu.fr/chemical-nanoengineering.

Alumni

The first students will be enrolled in September, 2019.
