The Erasmus Mundus Master Course in
Sustainable Transportation and Electrical Power Systems (EMMC STEPS) offers a
highly specialized education in Electrical Engineering, focusing on two areas
of the highest technological content and professional requirements in the
energy sector.
Graduates
successfully completing the EMMC STEPS academic programme will be awarded with
a Joint Master Degree in Sustainable Transportation and Electrical Power
Systems (STEPS) by a Consortium of universities, fully recognized in four
partner countries.
The course is
structured in 2 academic years, with four 30 ECTS semesters for a total 120
ECTS workload. Students can build their own curriculum based on their previous
background and their professional interest, although it offers 2 recommended
study tracks: Sustainable Transportation (ST) and Electrical Power Systems
(EPS). The approach and content of the Master respond to main challenges faced
by the energy sector:
To master new energy sources and their
implications to the power systems
To reduce CO2 emissions by increasing
energy efficiency and the share of clean energies
To gradually incorporate electrical
transportation as an alternative to vehicles using combustion engines.
The application
process for the EMMC STEPS consists of 2 steps:
1. First,
applicants will have to fill out and electronically submit the application form
within deadline via the Application System on the dedicated EMMC STEPS website.
2. Afterwards,
the selected candidates will have to send in hard copies all required
attachments by post, post stamped before the assigned deadline.
Scholarships/Grants
The EMMC STEPS
will select some students to be awarded with individual Erasmus Mundus scholarships.
The scholarships are conceived as "full scholarships" covering all
necessary costs of the student during his/her study period in Europe.
The concession of
the grant will be subjected to the following some limitations:
Have already obtained a first higher
education degree.
Exclusively full-time enrolment in one
of the course editions.
Not be awarded with other EU grants
for the same joint course over the length of the course concerned.
No more than two of the students with
the same nationality.
