MaMaSELF is a two year European Master program in Materials Science, which aims to teach the application of “Large Scale Facilities” for the characterization and development of materials.
Modern life and globalization imply new and additional exigencies for scientists and scientific engineers in the field of scientific and industrial competitiveness. This holds specifically for the development of new technologies and new materials which are important key-products and which contribute to the technological and scientific competitiveness of highly industrialized countries. The characterization of these materials and also the optimizing of technologies strongly demand sophisticated methods, some of them uniquely available at “Large Scale Facilities” using neutrons or synchrotron radiation. The Master Course is supported by the European Commission in the framework of the Easmus Mundus programme.

Offered Benefits
If you are a graduate student from a Non-European country you belong to the "partner countries" (all countries of the world with the exception of the 28 EU Member States, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein Scholarship for Non-EU students (Partner countries): 21,000€ / year The exact amount of the Erasmus Mundus grant depends from the distance to the Consortium University, after distance calculation the final amount of the grant will be between 41000 and 43000 euos for the two years of the program. The amount is calculated in relation with the distance (Scholarship holder whose residence is situated at less than 4000 km from Rennes or at 4000 km or more). If you are graduate student from one of the 28 EU Member States, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, Turkey or the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, you can benefit from a scholarship for the 2 year program. Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis. The scholarship covers your travel and living expenses for the duration of the program. Sholarship for EU students (Program countries) : 20,000 € for the two academic years
