Twenty-five people from 20 countries around the world are about to start a new semester of study at Wroclaw Tech. They are students of the Chemical Nano-Engineering (CNE) course, run as part of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree programme.
Specialists in the field of chemical nano-engineering are being trained from 2019 jointly with the University of Aix-Marseille (France) and the University of Tor Vergata in Rome (Italy).
- "It is an interdisciplinary field of study, encompassing physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, molecular electronics and materials engineering," - says Elżbieta Zienkiewicz, Ph.D., associate professor at the Faculty of Chemistry of the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, coordinator of the course at our university. - All graduates will gain broad competence in working with objects and systems at the nanoscale. Both experimental in terms of synthesis and physicochemical characterisation, as well as theoretical and numerical skills necessary for their design.
Students spend the first three semesters consecutively in Marseille, Wroclaw and Rome. The final semester is devoted to the realisation of a master's thesis at one of the partner universities or at an affiliated institution.
- In addition, at the end of the first year, programme participants take part in the Summer School organised at the Krobielowice Palace, as well as undertaking summer scientific internships in research or R&D centres, adds prof. Zienkiewicz.
Scholarships from the Erasmus Mundus programme and the French government await all students.
A group of 20 first-year students and five students already in their second year began their second semester of study at the Wroclaw Tech's Faculty of Chemistry on Thursday. They come from countries such as Azerbaijan, Egypt, Lebanon, Mexico, Romania, Sudan and Sri Lanka, among others. They have laboratory classes ahead of them, which will build on what they have previously learned in France.
The inauguration of the semester at Wroclaw Tech is also a time of choice for those who will start their CNE studies next academic year. There were 495 applicants for the 17 available places.
Their applications will be considered by consortium members from the University of Aix-Marseille (Prof. Philippe Knauth, coordinator, Prof. Olivier Margeat, Dr. Luca Pasquini, Tina Greco), the University of Tor Vergata in Rome (Prof. Maria Luisa Di Vona, prof. Antonio Agresti, prof. Paolo Prosposito, dr Cinzia Forte) and the Wrocław University of Science and Technology (Prof. Piotr Rutkowski, Prof. Elżbieta Zienkiewicz, Prof. Lucyna Firlej - director of the summer school for students of the programme).
