Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses ME3 European joint Masters in Management and Engineering of Environment and Energy

Duration: 2 years Course description: The European joint Masters of Science in Management and Engineering of Environment and Energy (ME3) is an inter-disciplinary program which brings together : (1) Management and Engineering ; (2) Energy and Environment, and (3) European and outside Europe collaborations. All these aspects make the ME3 Masters course a unique program in European higher education, and constitute the raison dtre of the university consortium. The ME3 program prepares students to work in industrial or academic sectors, in internationallyoriented working environments, where a solid background in state-of-the art of process technology is required, together with the ability to deal with multi-cultural management and working practices. At the end of the course, graduates will have acquired the professional skills required to pilot complex engineering projects in industry and solve environmental and energy issues through an integrated approach, taking into account human, social and economic challenges. The program lasts 2 years, the first 18 months of which are mainly devoted to academic learning, acquisition and consolidation of knowledge and skills. During the last 6 months, students perform a professional internship leading to a Masters thesis. The language of instruction is English. The expected enrolment is about 50 students per year. The study programme carries 120 ECTS, divided into the following parts: - Part 1: Foundations in Management - 30 ECTS - Sept. to Feb., in UPM (Universidad Polytecnica de Madrid), Spain. - Part 2: Environmental Process Engineering - 30 ECTS - March to July, in EMN (Ecole des Mines de Nantes), France. - Part 3: Option - 30 ECTS - Sept to Jan. Students may follow either: - option 1: "Sustainable Energy Engineering" in KTH, Sweden; or - option 2: "Rational Design and Use of Energy Technologies" in EMN, France - Part 4: Professional project in industry or in research - 30 ECTS - Feb. to July. The ME3 Masters Course is open to candidates, who have a high degree of proficiency in English. Knowledge of French, Spanish or Swedish is a plus.
