European Masters Scholarship on Advanced Robotics for Erasmus Mundus Programme

Overview

EMARO, European Master on Advanced RObotics, is an integrated Masters course conducted by three European institutions and three Asian institutions :

Ecole Centrale de Nantes- France (coordinator),
Warsaw University of Technology - Poland ,
University of Genova - Italy,
Asian Institute of Technology - Thailand,
Faculty of Science and Technology in Keio University - Japan,
and Shanghai Jiao Tong University - China

EMARO has been designed and accepted in the framework of the European Union ERASMUS-MUNDUS programme.

Objectives:

The Masters is designed to promote a high-quality educational offer in the area of advanced and intelligent robotics. After graduation the students will have mastered the different areas of robotics (Mathematical modeling, Control Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical design) in order to be able to deal with Robotics systems as a whole rather than just to concentrate on one particular area. The career prospects for EMARO graduates are very good as the proposed courses are relevant to today’s high technology society and because the current output of universities is insufficient to meet the demands of industry and research programmes. Students may take the master as a professional terminal degree, or join PhD programmes afterwards.

Duration and mobility:

The programme of study lasts two academic years (120 ECTS) split into four equally loaded semesters. The student has to spend the first two semesters in one institution and the second two semesters in another institution.


Degrees awarded:

Students that graduate from the EMARO masters course will obtain two masters degrees from the institutions where they studied. The obtained degrees are officially recognised and give full access to PhD study programmes.
The Consortium will deliver Diploma supplement describing the nature, level, context, content and status of the studies that were pursued and successfully completed by the student.

Admission requirements

The EMARO Masters course is open to European and Third-country students who already hold a first university degree with 180 ECTS credits in the European system, after at least three years studies (at the level of Bachelor of Science) in a field related to robotics such as: Mechatronic, Automatic control, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, System Engineering, Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. The graduation must take place before 31 July 2011 for non European students and before 30 September for European students.
The applicants have to be fluent in English, both in writing and speaking. An Applicant whose native language is not English is required to pass a recognized international English test such as TOEFL (score 220 CBT, 550 PBT, 80 IBT), Cambridge Advanced English Test (score B or higher), IELTS (score 6.5 or higher) , TOEIC (800) or other English equivalent test. The English test result must be sent before the deadline of application. An applicant who carried out his study in English is eligible (official confirmation letter from his university is needed) but passing a recognized international test provides him more marks.

The Erasmus Mundus programme supports high-quality European Masters Courses, by providing attractive grants for students having excellent academic results from around the world (non European and European) to engage in postgraduate study at EMARO institutions. The application to an Erasmus Mundus scholarship is done through the classical student’s application procedure of EMARO. Please note that the number of applications must be limited to three Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses maximum. In the eventual case that a student applies to more than three EM Courses he/she will be excluded from the selection for an Erasmus Mundus Scholarship.


For 2010-2011 academic year, EMARO Master programme will have three types of scholarships:

Scholarships for Students

Category A scholarships

Ten scholarships with two years each can be awarded to masters students selected by EMARO consortium who are not from Europe Union states, Iceland, Norway and Lichtenstein, Turkey, Switzerland, Western Balkan Countries include Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia and who are not residents nor have carried out their main activity (studies, work, etc.) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in one of these countries. Owing to the limited number of grants a student who is not ranked among the top 10% of his class has small chance to be selected. The selected student, will receive a scholarship of totally 24 000€ per year, 8000€ are devoted for tuition fees, insurance cost and other costs of the master. Thus the student will receive 16000€ net per year.

A proposal to Erasmus Mundus programme in Brussels must be sent on February 2011 and consists of a main list and a waiting list. At most two students from the same country can be selected in the main list. The final decision about the scholarships will be sent to students as soon as we receive it from Brussels (end of February). If some students withdraw from the main list, the best students from the waiting list will be upgraded to the main list and will be notified immediately.

Western Balkan and Turkey

At least one scholarship of Category A ( with 16000€ net per year) is available for students from Western Balkan's countries and Turkey.


Category B scholarships

These scholarships are devoted for European students and related countries mentioned in Category A scholarships including western Balkans countries and Turkey, and also for third country students who had a stay for more than 12 months in these countries. For the academic year 2010/2011, EMARO Masters programme will offer about 8 Erasmus Mundus scholarships of category B. The selected student, will receive a scholarship of totally 10 000€ per year, 4000€ are devoted for tuition fees, insurance cost and other costs of the master. Thus the student will receive 6000€ net per year. It should be noted that, while the Category A scholarships should be considered as “full scholarships” covering all necessary costs of the student during his/her study period in Europe, Category B scholarships have to be considered as a “financial contribution” to the student’s costs.

A proposal to Erasmus Mundus programme in Brussels must be sent on February 2011 and consists of a main list and a reserve list. At most two students from the same country can be selected in the main list. The final decision about the scholarships will be sent to students as soon as we receive it from Brussels. If some students withdraw from the main list, the best students from the waiting list will be upgraded to the main list and will be notified immediately.
