The ASC Master Course (Advanced Spectroscopy in Chemistry) - Erasmus+ Student Scholarships

The European ASC Master's Course is jointly operated by the following universities (the ASC consortium)

University Alma Mater of Bologna, Italy; University of Helsinki, Finland; Jagiellonian University of Krakow, Poland; University of Leipzig, Germany; University Lille, France (Coordinating institution).

The ASC Master course is a two-year (4 semesters, 30 ECTS each) programme whose courses are taught in English.

The ASC network aims at preparing students to become experts and develop international skills towards professional industrial careers in spectroscopic characterization of matter and/or doctoral studies.

The ASC program has reached a high level of harmonization, with a single Master program scheme applicable at each partner institution and thus yielding to a better integration into the European scheme.

All successful students receive a multiple degree from the institutions where they attended courses.

This ASC master program will:

guarantee quality (all partners have official accredited Masters in chemistry) Allow students access to techniques not available locally (mutualisation of the equipment) provide a sound background in Advanced Spectroscopy, both in experimental techniques and in scientific knowledge; promote students’ mobility within a network of research laboratories spread amongst countries from a large area of Europe in an environment where they will be well looked after and acquire transferable skills in a multicultural environment. prepare students to become experts in far reaching experimental techniques in Spectroscopy. help and prepare students to develop skills to follow future doctoral studies, and/or towards professional activities.

TYPE OF DEGREE

Multiple Master of Science degree with thesis in «Advanced Spectroscopy in Chemistry» awarded by the universities of the consortium, after completion of 90 ECTS of courses and 30 ECTS of a Master thesis.
