Economics and Management of Network Industries (EMIN): Erasmus Mundus Scholarship

Overview

The Erasmus Master Course on Economics and Management of Network Industries has the objective of training highly qualified professionals, able to manage and regulate efficiently network industries and infrastructures.

The program is supported by the European Commission Erasmus Mundus programme, mainly through the funding of scholarships for third-country students and scholars.

The objective of our Masters Course is to train these highly qualified professionals, able to manage and regulate efficiently network industries and infrastructures. Our masters students will learn simultaneously the engineering, the economics and the management principles that are relevant in the network and infrastructure industry. Usually, these skills are acquired separately while in practice they have to be used together to reach both technical and economical efficiency. This program corrects the tradditional approach and offers an integrated one.

The duration of the master will be of two years for a total of 120 ECTS, and the instruction languages will be Spanish, French and English..

The program will benefit from the collaboration of three of the most prestigious European Universties in the field, namely: Pontifical University Comillas - Madrid (noted for its excellence in electricity market regulation), University Paris-Sud 11 (renowned for its expertise in economics and management of network industries), and Delft University of Technology (famous for its research and teaching on applied industry and network economics).


Admission criteria

Previous studies:

Students must have obtained a BSc degree (or equivalent) of substantial quality and level corresponding to 3 years studies at University, equivalent to 180 ECTS. They must have studied Engineering, Economics or Management (for obtaining the TU Delft MSc degree, these studies must be in a technological field or the natural sciences).

Students who have already obtained the first year of a European master in Engineering, Economics or Management, or a degree in engineering or from a business school may be accepted in the second year of the Erasmus Mundus Master Course, based on the academic excellence of their previous studies, and provided they have already obtained 60 ECTS.

The selection of these students will depend on the excellence of their studies. To verify this, the consortium will ask for the list of qualifications for each student for the previous year, requiring a Grade Point Average (GPA) for the BSc study of at least 75% of the scale maximum and a Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test score of at least 450 verbal, 550 analytical, and 650 quantitative. Letters of recommendation will be required. In individual cases, a selection committee will decide whether there are exceptional circumstances that justify deviation from one or more of the selection criteria listed above. Exceptional circumstances may result in conditional admission; in that case final admission and enrolment will only take place after the condition(s) have been fulfilled.

Linguistic competencies:

Students have to follow courses in English (Delft, Comillas and Paris XI), French (Paris XI) and Spanish (Comillas). Therefore, a high level of English is required, plus at least a basic knowledge of French and/or Spanish.

For students whose mother tongue is other than English and who did not follow all secondary and tertiary education in English, an International TOEFL score (English test) of at least 550 (paper-based test) or 213 (computer-based test) or IELTS (academic version) overall Band score of at least 6.0 is required.
