European Master on Software Engineering: Erasmus Mundus Scholarship

Overview

The objective of the two year European Master on Software Engineering is to educate software engineers to meet the requirements of today's international software practice. The programme is considered an elite programme leading to a double degree. Non-EU students can apply for a grant. The selection of candi-dates is highly competitive. Selected students can choose two of the partner universities to follow the programme.

Software has become an increasingly important element of many products that are developed today. There has been a shift in development costs from hardware development to software solutions. This increases the need to be able to develop software products with the right functionality, quality, on time and on budget.

The European Master on Software Engineering is constructed to meet these challenges by educating software developers in advanced software engineering concepts that covers the entire development chain, from the business management perspective to the technical management and the development perspectives.

The programme spans two years, and is organised around a set of mandatory and optional courses. The mandatory courses provide a broad basis and cover several advanced topics, which the software engineering industry currently requires. Moreover, they ensure a common ground for all students. The optional courses enable you to specialise within a specific perspective and thus to increase their attractiveness to future employers in a way that they see fit. All courses are designed to present a blend of state-of-practice and state-of-the-art. This is further strengthened by the fact that the university hosts active research within the areas of all the mandatory courses.

4 Good Reasons For Applying

I.A chance to study at two different universities in Europe (with a chance to receive a scholarship).
II.To meet students from all over the world and others cultures.
III.To study software engineering at some of the best universities in the world with close ties to industry.
IV.With a double diploma in software engineering you will most likely work in the European software industry.

From the academic year 2010 on, the scholarship scheme in the Erasmus Mundus programme has changed as compared to previous editions. The most relevant change is the definition of 2 different types of grants:

Applicants whose higher education language was English are also waived upon submission of a certificate issued by the appropriate university. In case that applicants do not fulfill the above criteria, a personal interview can be arranged to assess the student's english level.
