Project details

Project astract The University of Trento (Italy), the RWTH Aachen University (Germany), and the University of Edinburgh (Scotland) are offering a two-year Joint Masters Programme, named European Master in Informatics (EuMI). The objective is to educate professionals who will understand advanced techniques, tools, and methodologies in the field of Computer Science, and who will be able to put this knowledge to practice in key application domains. In particular, EuMI offers three areas of specialization in Net-Centric Informatics, Life-Science Informatics, and Embedded Systems Informatics. These are application domains that, being emergent, rapidly evolving, and of growing impact on the society, require specialized competencies not covered by more traditional degree programmes. For each area of specialization, a Joint Curriculum is defined which involves two Universities. The student undertaking the Curriculum will visit both Universities, taking courses focusing on advanced topics in Theoretical and Practical Computer Science and on the selected area of specialization. Courses are taught in English and are structured according to the ECTS (European Credit Transfer System). Students will undertake courses on the culture and language of the visited European countries. At the end of the Programme, a Masters Thesis will be prepared on a research topic jointly selected with the two visited Universities. At the successful completion of EuMI, students will be awarded a Master of Informatics and will receive a degree from each of the Universities where they spent a part of their study: a "Laurea Specialistica in Informatica" ("Specialist Degree in Computer Science") by the University of Trento, a "Master of Science in Computer Science" by the RWTH Aachen University, a "Master of Science in Informatics" by the University of Edinburgh. The EuMI programme is intended for a small number of top level international students. In order to guarantee a ratio between the teachers involved in the Joint Master and the EuMI students of close to one, a maximum number of students per year will be selected. Candidates should have a solid background in basic Computer Science disciplines and a keen interest in the fields of Net-Centric Informatics, Embedded Systems Infromatics, or Life-Sciences Informatics. Prerequisites are a first level degree in Computer Science or closely related disciplines and a fluent knowledge in spoken and written English.
