Erasmus Mundus Master in Quality in Analytical Laboratories (EMQAL) Scholarships, Europe

Erasmus Mundus The Erasmus Mundus Master in Quality in Analytical Laboratories (EMQAL) is a master course for laboratory managers and scientists who wish to implement and manage Quality Systems in analytical laboratories, or work in Quality System environments in accredited analytical laboratories.

After five years of running as an Erasmus Mundus Master Course (EMMC), the EMQAL was once again evaluated and selected by the European Commission for Erasmus Mundus funding.

From 177 applications submitted in 2012, 30 EMMC were selected for their excellency for Erasmus Mundus funding. As a result, the EMQAL will be able to offer Erasmus Mundus grants to students and scholars for an additional period of 5 years, 2013-2018.

The second phase of EMQAL will be coordinated by the University of Barcelona.

The master is offered by a Consortium of five European universities and three non-EU universities:

  • University of Barcelona (Spain, ES) – coordinator
  • University of Algarve (Portugal, PT)
  • University of Bergen (Norway, NO)
  • University of Cadiz (Spain, ES)
  • Gdansk University of Technology (Poland, PL)

and

  • Central South University (China)
  • Novosibirsk National Research State University (Russian Federation)
  • University of Sao Paulo (Brazil)

and ca. 30 Associate Partners, including Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (India), Universidad Católica del Norte (Chile) and several companies, accredited laboratories and research centres in Spain, Portugal, Poland and Norway.

The programme duration is 24 months (120 ECTS), consisting of a 1 year (60 ECTS) taught course and a 1 year Project and Thesis (60 ECTS). The main language of instruction is English. Each university also offers an intensive language school prior to the programme, as well as the opportunity of local language training during the course.

In the first year, classes take place in the Host Institution, and are lectured by specialists from all the partner institutions. The Host university rotates among the European partners of the Consortium.

General Eligibility Criteria
The Master’s degree is designed to provide additional education or training in the student’s specialized branch of knowledge. The minimum requirements for admission to the Masters are:

1) Strong Academic Background in appropriate disciplines
A “strong academic background” in appropriate disciplines means candidates must hold a high education diploma issued by a competent High Education authority attesting the completion of a degree equivalent to a 1st cycle (180 ECTS), in a field where analytical laboratories play an important role. This may be a degree in Chemistry, Biology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biochemistry, Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Food Engineering, Clinical Analysis, Medicine, etc.

2) Demonstrated command of the English language
A “demonstrated command of English” means the candidate must prove he/she can understand, speak and write English proficiently enough to take the majority of modules, which are taught in English.

Possible examples include:

  • Test of English as a Foreign Language, TOEFL scores paper 575 / computer 232
  • Internet based TOEFL (TOEFL iBT™ ) total score 94
  • International English Language Testing System, IELTS scores 6.5
  • General Certificate of Education, GCSE, AS Level, A Level
  • Cambridge Proficiency Certificate, CPE, Level 4-5
  • Oxford Higher Certificate, International Certificate Conference (ICC Stage 3 Technical)

In case the candidate cannot present an official test of English language in time for the deadline for applications, he/she may take the self-test included in the online application. A minimum classification of B2 is required in all fields.

In case of selection, candidates who only took the self-test will be interviewed. The interview will have the objective of confirming the self-test of English proficiency presented in the application. In case the interview shows the proficiency is below what was stated in the application, the application will be cancelled.

3) Adequate financial resources
When you apply there is no guarantee that you will be considered for an ERASMUS or ERASMUS MUNDUS studentship so you should be fully aware of the financial costs of the programme. All candidates must take the financial aspects in consideration when applying. The studentships are extremely competitive and only the very best students in a field of many excellent applicants will be awarded the studentships.

You should indicate clearly if you are relying on ERASMUS, ERASMUS MUNDUS or other studentships to finance your study.

Before final acceptance, candidates who were not awarded a studentship will be required to submit a Guarantee of full financial support for the duration of the studies.
