ERASMUS SERP+ – SURFACE, ELECTRO, RADIATION AND PHOTO-CHEMISTRY

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SERP+ Master is taught in English and aims at training experts in the most advanced experimental and theoretical tools developed in chemistry, physical-chemistry and materials science, making them ready to develop innovative ideas and enterprises related to sustainable developments in Energy, Health and Environment.

The international study programme includes courses, tutorials, and lab trainings in cutting-edge areas related to renewable energies, green chemistry, radiation effects, nanomaterials for the industry and nanomedicine. A strong partnership with SMEs, academic institutions and research and innovation centres in Europe, Asia, and Latin America, allow the students to strengthen their professional skills and build their network.

The students must complete their training with a 6-month internship in the academic sector or in the industry. An intensive summer school also fosters the students’ entrepreneurial skills including economy management, communication, patent law, and technology transfer so they can face the job market.

At the end of the master, the students are awarded a multiple diploma according to the mobility track they followed:
Master in Chemistry from Paris-Sud University
Master in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Genoa
Master in Chemistry from the University of Porto
Master in Chemistry from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan
