Presentation of EMARO+
The Erasmus Mundus
programme is a cooperation
and mobility programme of
the European Union in the
field of higher education
which promotes the European
Union as a center of
excellence in learning around
the world.
It aims to enhance quality in
European higher education
and to promote intercultural
understanding through cooperation with third-countries.

index_en.htm

The Masters course EMARO+ has been designed and

accepted in the framework of the European Union
programme Erasmus Mundus 2014-2019. The aim of the
course is to promote a high quality educational offer in the
area of advanced and intelligent robotics.
After graduation the students will have mastered the
different areas of robotics (Mathematical modeling,
Control Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical
design) in order to be able to deal with robotic systems as
a whole rather than just to concentrate on one particular
area.
Students will obtain two masters degrees from the
European institutions where they studied.
Students may take the master as a professional terminal
degree, or join PhD programmes afterwards.

Consortium

EMARO+ is an integrated Masters course conducted

by: Ecole Centrale de Nantes (France) coordinator,
Warsaw University of Technology (Poland), University of
Genoa (Italy), and Jaume I University (Spain).
It has 7 associated partners: two Asian Institutions (KEIO
University - Japan, SJTU - China) and five industrial
partners (IRT Jules Verne - France, Airbus Group
Innovations - France, BA Systemes - France, Robotnik Spain, and SIIT - Italy).

Alumni and Employability

This topnotch Masters course had been selected under

the Erasmus Mundus Programme in 2008 and 2012
(EMARO). Today, more than 230 alumni are now part
of the EMARO+ alumni network and have successful
careers all over the world, in academia, innovation
or industry. Its 5 industrial partners play an important
role in the design of the curricula, the teaching of the
cutting edge R&D that guarantee the employability of
the students after graduation.

Study programme

The duration of the EMARO+ Masters course is two academic years

(120 ECTS credits). Each year is split into two semesters with 30 ECTS
credits for each. The student spends the first year in one institution and
the second year in another institution. The student who successfully
completes the programme is awarded the double European degree of
the two european institutions at which he studied.

The first year

The second year

The aim of the first semester is to

provide the students with a solid interdisciplinary background
across the main areas of robotics
(cognition, action and perception). It has the same programme
at all the institutions.

In the third semester, more specialised courses are proposed.

The programme of this semester is based on the specific
research strengths of the partners institutions (thus varying
from partner to partner).
