Graduates of the Erasmus Mundus Master in Advanced Materials Science and Engineering (AMASE) will be internationally recognised experts in materials science and engineering. In this field, they will exercise their abilities and apply their academic, professional and research knowledge. Languages are part of students’ training and mobility is compulsory, allowing students to improve their German, French or English language skills and to obtain two qualifications from two European universities (the home institution and the host institution). These characteristics are particularly valued by many European companies.
