Master in Materials Science Exploring Large Scale Facilities (Mamaself).
Mamaself is a 2 year full time Master proposing a high level course in Material Science, Physics, Chemistry with strong relation to the Large Scale Facilities.
This Master is the result of the collaboration between five Universities: University Rennes 1, (France, coordinating institution of the program), University of Torino, (Italy), Technical University (TUM) and the Ludwig Maximilian University München (Germany) and The University of Montpellier 2 (France).
Mamaself is an international Master proposing courses at these 5 universities in very interesting cities in Europe : this is a great opportunity for students to combine study and discovering Europe. All lectures are given in English, and the atmosphere is really international : a Mamaself class is composed with 2/3 Non-European students and 1/3 European students. The students especially appreciate the structure of the program with 3 key events : integration week at the beginning of the program, two-week Summerschool and Mamaself status meeting organised at the top of a mountain in Switzerland (see website for details).
Mobilities
The student will receive at least 2 Master degree, corresponding to his/her two places of study during the program : each student will spend one year in a first hosting institution, the first semester of the second Master year at another university. The last semester is dedicated to the Master thesis and can be spent at a university or at Large scale Faclities or at a partner institution in USA, Japan, Switzerland, Brazil, India and Russia at our partner institutions.
Grants for Non-European students
For each academic year the consortium of universities selects Non-European students who will receive a grant. The grant for Non-European students is 22.000 euros per year. Deadline for application: 28.01.2014. Non-EU students who already spent a time in Europe can applicate in the cat B fellowship, deadline 28.1.2014.
