Master's Degree Programme in Radiation and its Effects on MicroElectronics and Photonics Technologies (Erasmus Mundus)
Space is undergoing a revolution with the New Space, which consists in using commercial components to make satellites more intelligent and give them unequalled observation and analysis capacities, but which requires the reliability of these technologies, which were not originally intended for space.
It will no longer be possible to develop an electronic or photonic system for which the safety of people is essential without recourse to the radiation analysis of which the students trained by the RADMEP master’s degree programme will be capable. In this programme, students will obtain fundamental knowledge and experience in those two technologies, their behaviors under irradiation.
Programme info
The 2-year (120 ECTS) European Master in Radiation and its Effects on MicroElectronics and Photonics Technologies (RADMEP) is a joint master's degree programme between European universities.
Students start their studies at the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ and after the first semester, they move to Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium for the second semester. Third-semester students will spend in France depending on their specialization. At the University of Montpellier students study Microelectronics courses and in Saint Etienne at the Jean Monnet University they follow courses in photonics.
Student profile
Applicants must hold a Bachelor of Science (or any nationally recognized first cycle degree equivalent to 180 ECTS), preferably in the fields of microelectronics, photonics and physics. (While this condition must necessarily be fulfilled at the time of enrollment, the consortium accepts applications from students in the last year of their higher education degree);
The tuition language is English. Students are notably expected to produce a Master Thesis in English. A strong command of written and oral English is therefore requested. Applicants will have to demonstrate during application an English language proficiency equivalent to level B2 in the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
