MDP in Advanced Spectroscopy in Chemistry (Erasmus Mundus)

The International Master’s Degree Programme in Advanced Spectroscopy in Chemistry (ASC) is a European Joint Degree programme. Its goal is to educate graduates to gain expertise to become high-standard spectroscopy professionals for employment in the international public and private sectors. They will also be well prepared for postgraduate (PhD) studies.

A consortium of seven European universities offers advanced education in chemical spectroscopy. This two-year course (120 ECTS) is taught fully in English. The consortium consists of the following European higher education institutions:

• University of Helsinki, Finland
• University of Science and Technologies Lille, France
• University of Leipzig, Germany
• University of Bologna, Italy
• University of Bergen, Norway
• Jagiellonian University Krakow, Poland
• Complutense University Madrid, Spain.

The students admitted to ACS study at two or more partner universities. You are encouraged to base your thesis on a collaborative project between two of the partner institutions, thus underlining the European dimension of the programme. A mobility scheme ensures that, in addition to high level of specialisation and access to state-of-the-art technologies, you can complete a common core curriculum of studies in various higher education institutions throughout Europe.

Students completing this European master’s degree with thesis will find employment in European R&D careers in instrument manufacturing companies, spectroscopic laboratories, analytical enterprises and administrative organizations. Further scientific opportunities towards PhD programmes are also available.
