ERASMUS MUNDUS MSC IN DEPENDABLE SOFTWARE SYSTEMS

Background

The National University of Ireland Maynooth (NUIM) in Ireland; the University of St. Andrews (UStA) in Scotland; and Université Henri Poincaré Nancy (UHP) in France are offering a two-year double Master Programme, named Erasmus Mundus MSc in Dependable Software Systems (DESEM). The objective is to provide students with the knowledge, skill and in-depth technical understanding of the key concepts required to design and build dependable software systems. This will be achieved by bringing together the theory and practice of software development and, in particular, through the transfer of knowledge from the classroom via research driven and commercially relevant projects. The double-degree will be achieved over two years, through the allocation of 120ECTS. Students will study in two of the three partner universities, achieving a degree from each university in which they accomplish 60ECTS.

Eligibility

- An honours degree in Computer Science or a related discipline with an average grade of 60% (equivalent to a B, II.1, or assez bien) or
  above. Extensive industrial experience may be considered as equivalent to academic qualification although such applicants will normally be
  subject to interview by the consortium.
- English-Language certificate (for non-native speakers of English only). Since the language of instruction is primarily English, students
  whose first language is not English must provide proof of a minimum knowledge of English such as an IELTS (>= 6.5) certificate or
  equivalent.
- French-Language certificate (for non-native speakers of French only, who are intending to study in France). Since the language of
  instruction in L’Université Henri Poincaré, Nancy is a mixture of French and English, students whose first language is not French must
  provide proof of a minimum knowledge of French such as Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française (D.A.L.F.) certificate or equivalent.
  Students who opt to study in France in their second year will have the option of meeting this requirement through courses offered by the
  consortium during the first year of the course.
