Erasmus Mundus (DESEM) Scholarships

Overview

The National University of Ireland Maynooth (NUIM) in Ireland; the University of St. Andrews (UStA) in Scotland; and Université Henri Poincaré Nancy (UHP) in France are offering a two-year double Master Programme, named Erasmus Mundus MSc in Dependable Software Systems (DESEM) Click here for a printable Course Brochure.

Course Objective: Our objective is to provide students with the knowledge, skill and in-depth technical understanding of the key concepts required to design and build dependable software systems. This will be achieved by bringing together the theory and practice of software development and, in particular, through the transfer of knowledge from the classroom via research driven and commercially relevant projects.

Degree Description: The double Erasmus Mundus MSc in Dependable Software Systems (DESEM) will be achieved over two years through the allocation of 120 ECTS. Each student on the integrated programme will study in two of the three partner universities and countries, achieving a degree from each university in which they accomplish 60 ECTS. These degree awards are:

Erasmus Mundus MSc in Rigorous Software Development (NUIM, Ireland)
Erasmus Mundus MSc in Software Engineering (UStA, Scotland)
Diplôme de Master (Mention Informatique) (UHP, France).


Degree

A student will achieve the double Erasmus Mundus MSc in Dependable Software Systems, through the award of two of the above degrees.

ADMISSION CRITERIA

The following criteria must be fulfilled by students applying for the Erasmus Mundus MSc in Dependable Software Systems:

• An honours degree in Computer Science or a related discipline with an average grade of 60% (equivalent to a B, II.1, or assez bien) or above. Extensive industrial experience may be considered as equivalent to academic qualification although such applicants will normally be subject to interview by the consortium.
• English-Language certificate (for non-native speakers of English only). Since the language of instruction is primarily English, students whose first language is not English must provide proof of a minimum knowledge of English such as an IELTS (>= 6.5) certificate or equivalent.
