Mobility Frameworks
Numerous different mobility paths are envisioned depending on the mobility options selected and the modules taken by the prospective students. Each of the curricula involves attendance to four modules, as sketched in the following figures, which describe the four pattern models for the Masters Course. Mobility path starting at SSSUP. |
 Mobility path starting at TUB. |
 Mobility path starting at ASTON. |
 Mobility path starting at OSAKA. |
Table illustrating the several mobility paths.
The first year of the Masters (i.e. the first and second semester of the Masters course) will be spent in the same institution.
The first year will cover basic subjects and provide a solid background to face the second year, which sees a differentiation of modules depending on the student Masters plan. Each partner will offer a propaedeutic pool of fundamental courses for the first semester of the Masters programme. This semester will cover advanced topics in maths, physics, statistics, systems and programming.
The third semester of the Masters will be spent in a different institution, while the Masters thesis can be done in any of the Masters partner institutions. The third semester will cover specialisation courses in view of the independent project developed during the last semester of the project and which will be reported in the Masters thesis.
Osaka University has semesters which are skewed with respect to the European standard semester schedule (fall/spring). Hence mobility framework is skewed by one semester. In addition, the first mobility scheme at Osaka will start 6 months later with respect to the other partners.
