European Master in Embedded Intelligence Nanosystems Engineering (EMINENT)

The EMINENT Master’s programme provides students with a holistic education in embedded intelligence nanosystems engineering. It combines advanced training starting from the nanoscale material and device technology to the computing architectures of intelligent sensing elements, including the perspectives of macroscale integrated systems and meaningful IoT application areas. It joins excellent research and innovation oriented educational expertise across Europe.

This approach provides unique benefits and opportunities for the students enrolled in the programme:

• Broad technological and educational expertise, and the research and innovation infrastructure, typically unavailable at a singular institution
• In depth curriculum on embedded intelligence nanosystems engineering complimented by topical specialisation tracks and digital, entrepreneurial and soft skills
• Training across existing disciplinary barriers
• Collaborative education in close contact with associated industrial partners and their networks in the employment market
• Learning beyond cultural barriers, enabling easier moves between countries
• Integrated and coordinated enhanced mobility plan
• Joint degree awarded by the participating academic institutions
• Consideration of all admitted students for the award of a scholarship
• EMINENT support service: Enrolment Advisors, visa support, welcome days, mentoring system, Alumni Club, career service, disability support

EMINENT is a two-years master’s programme (120 ECTS). Students will spend their studies at 2 – 4 different universities. All courses are given in English language.

Graduates from the EMINENT programme will receive a joint degree, awarded by those universities they have physically studied at for at least one semester.

All students spend their first semester at the Hellenic Mediterranean University and gain basic knowledge on functional nanomaterials. The second semester will be spent by all students at the University of Siegen, focussing on sensors, sensing devices and embedded systems. The knowledge acquired in the first year will be the basis for the specialisation tracks, chosen in the third semester.

Specialisation tracks

1. Functional materials with optoelectronic properties (HMU, Greece)
2. Specialisation into embedded intelligent sensorics (USIEGEN, Germany)
3. Internet of Things and Robotics (UO, France)
4. Natural materials and biosensors (UNL, Portugal)
5. Advanced sensor systems and data processing (VILNIUS TECH, Lithuania)
