Overview
The Erasmus Mundus FAME Masters course provides a two-year education programme in Advanced Materials Science within 7 universities of 4 European countries (Germany, France,
Belgium and Portugal) that host world-renowned leading research laboratories in the field of Advanced Materials Science. Mandatory and optional courses are integrated and taught by distinguished professors and researchers, who already interact closely through the European Research Network of Excellence FAME, launched in October 2004. The Master Course ensures an intensive and innovative training for 15 non-EC students + 25 European students. This Master allows applying for PhD programmes in Europe and/or working as scientist or R&D engineer in industry.
