Erasmus Mundus MATHMODS Scholarship

Overview

Mathematical modelling lies at the heart of most current technological innovations and has become a fundamental tool in many fields of engineering. Essentially multidisciplinary in its applications, mathematical modelling and simulation is in its own right a key technology which is bound to increase its presence within efficient industries and business innovation departments.

The proposed programme reflects this multidisciplinarity, drawing on the unifying mathematical aspects from the various and often separate engineering disciplines. This allows the development of an essentially unified methodological approach to modelling and simulation of real engineering challenges.

The consortium is coordinated by the University of L'Aquila in Italy (UAQ) and involves other four leading institutions in Europe:

- University of Nice - Sophia Antipolis in France (UNSA),
- Autonomous University of Barcelona in Catalonia (UAB),
- University of Hamburg in Germany (UHH) and
- Gdansk University of Technology in Poland (GUT).

The language of the course will be exclusively English. An introduction to local culture and language will also be offered to the students in each semester. Admission will be restricted to 60 students. The students to professor rate will be approx 2.

The MathMods Master's degree course will be given in four semesters. Each semester will total 30 ECTS credits. Mobility scheme will provide for at least two locations. The first year will be common for all students. This will guarantee an equal knowledge platform for all of them. The second year will be divided into five tracks, which reflect the partners' field of excellence. Students will spend their fourth semester on writing their Master’s Thesis.


Requirements

Applicants must have obtained a recognized Bachelor's Degree (BS, BSc, SB, etc.) – or a degree at the same level of an academic Bachelor's Degree, for instance its equivalent from a college, university, or technical school of high standing, or 180 ECTS credits in the European system – in one of the following (or equivalent) fields:

Applied Mathematics
Mathematics with a good background in Physics
Physics with a good background in Mathematics
Engineering with a large background in Mathematics and Physics.

Students in their final year of undergraduate study may be admitted on condition that their Bachelor's degree is awarded before the enrolment on MathMods MSc. The accomplishment of the Bachelor's studies must be documented no later than 15 August.

Language certificate

All applicants whose native language is not English are required to prove a satisfactory level of spoken and written English, certified by:

TOEFL: minimum 550 for PBT / 213 for CBT / 80 for IBT. You may send the TOEFL certificate simply as a photocopy or you may send it directly through ETS. Use these data when adding us as a new score recipient: Code number: 3676, Institution: University of L'Aquila.IELTS: 6.0 points
CPE: Grades A, B, C
CAE: Grades A, B

or equivalent to the above.

The test must have been taken within the four years immediately preceding the requested semester of admission and be valid at the time of enrolment.
