Title of Masters Course

AMASE : Joint European Masters Programme in Advanced Materials Science and


Engineering

Duration: 2 years

Course description:

This is a full-time Master’s programme offered by the University of the Saarland, Saarbrücken
(Germany), the National Polytechnic Institute of Lorraine, Nancy (France), the Technical
University of Catalonia, Barcelona (Spain) and Lulea University of Technology (Sweden). The
Course provides high-level, multinational and research-oriented education in materials science and
engineering, along with a well-integrated language and cultural experience.
The programme lasts for two years, including six months working on a Master’s thesis. The various
specialities of the partner institutions result in a wide range of study options. Students attend
courses at two universities: the first and second semesters take place at the entrance university, and
the third semester is spent at the second university. During the fourth semester, students write their
Master’s thesis at one of these two universities. The programme covers the broad spectrum of
materials science and engineering, with modules in the structure of materials, the characterisation
and modelling of materials, the properties of materials, and the technologies of materials. There are
also extensive possibilities for specialisation, and the option of arranging internships in industry
during holiday periods.
The programme is managed by a Steering Committee consisting of two professors from each
institution who organise and harmonise the activities. The consortium has thirteen years of
collaboration experience within the very successful EEIGM Programme (European School of
Materials Science and Engineering), which has trained over 500 engineers. The programme works
in partnership with the Federation of European Materials Societies (FEMS). To promote exchange
with third countries, the consortium has established partnerships with third-country universities in
Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Colombia, Egypt, India, Mexico, Morocco, the Philippines,
Russia, South Korea, U.S.A. and Venezuela. These universities collaborate in disseminating
information about the Master’s course, in selecting students and in offering mobility opportunities
for students.
This course is given in two languages, with the options of English (in Sweden), German, French
and Spanish (depending on the selected universities). Language courses are integrated into the
programme. A maximum of eighty students from around the world join the course each year,
distributed equally between the partner institutions. The programme has an excellent
scholar/student ratio (Saarbrücken twelve Professors, Nancy thirty-two Professors, Barcelona
sixteen Professors, Lulea fourteen Professors). There is also an alumni association for the Master
Programme, which is being run through the “materialsclub”, a new communication and networking
platform created and supported by the German Materials Society.
Students obtain a double Master's degree awarded by the two universities they have attended. A
Diploma Supplement is also provided. Admission requirement includes a Bachelor of Science or
similar degree with thorough training in mathematics, physics, chemistry, physical chemistry and a
basic knowledge of the structure and behaviour of materials. Sufficient knowledge of the language
of the university where the students spend the first year is also required.
