The programme has a duration of 2 years (120 ECTS credits), is developed within a consortium of 5 Universities in 4 different countries (Austria, Italy, Germany, and Serbia), and is conducted in the English Language. The wide variety of expertise covered by our international partnership insures an excellent educational level in all branches of Astrophysics.
We invite applications from top-ranked students that either hold or are expected to obtain before August 2010 a Bachelor's Degree (or an equivalent certified period of studies of at least 3 years, corresponding to 180 credits in the European Credit Transfer System) in Physics, Astronomy, Astrophysics, Mathematics or closely related fields. A certified good knowledge of the English language is required.
The selected students will carry out their studies in at least 2 and up to 4 of the AstroMundus Consortium Universities and will be finally awarded a Joint Master Degree, complemented with a Diploma Supplement, by all consortium Universities they visited during their studies.
Several Erasmus Mundus scholarships will be made available by the European Commission to both non-European and European students. The selection of students is primarily based on excellence.
