Spectroscopy in Chemistry Teacher Scholarship Europe, the Erasmus Mundus

ASC Network PURPOSE To equip students to become experts and develop the international skills towards doctoral studies, and / or professional careers in industrial chemical analysis and structural characterization of materials.

A mobility scheme ensures that, in the Supplement to the high specialization and access to state of the art technology, students will undertake a common core curriculum studies in higher education institutions across Europe.

Contents:
A two-year (four semesters, each 30 ECTS) Master's Program; courses are taught in English.
