From 9 to 14 October, it is the 7th edition of the Erasmus Days. For the occasion, Mines Saint-Étienne offers an overview of its students on European mobility programmes.
Mines Saint-Étienne, Erasmus+ project coordinator
Mines Saint-Étienne is firmly established in the European landscape of higher education institutions. It has nearly 50 Erasmus partners, including 2 in Finland such as the University of Eastern Finland and Tampere University of Technology; Karlstad University (Sweden); University of Bergen (Norway); University of Edinburgh (UK) – TU Berlin, Kaiserslautern, Hamburg-Harburg, KIT (Germany); TU Wien, Graz and Uni Wien (Austria); ETSII Madrid, Carlos III Madrid, ETSEI Barcelona, Universidad de León (Spain); Uni Tor Vergata (Italy); Uni Twente (Netherlands) – Jagiellonian University (Poland); CTU Prague (Czech Republic), Riga Technical University (Latvia)…
Europe as a destination for our students
All students must complete an international mobility period during their studies, either through an internship or a semester at a partner university. Currently, 38 students from the ICM and ISMIN programmes are on Erasmus mobility with 22 partners. Host countries are: Germany, Austria, Spain, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, Latvia and Sweden. It should be noted that 9 Erasmus internships, 7 study mobility periods and one teaching mobility period have already been completed in the first half of the year. A PhD student from the Centre for Biomedical and Healthcare Engineering is undertaking a one-year Erasmus mobility as part of a joint PhD with the University of Tor Vergata/Roma 2. Among the engineering students on Erasmus mobility, note the Mines Saint-Étienne – TU Wien double-degree programmes accredited by the T.I.M.E. Association. Lune and Thibaut.
European students at the School
Mines Saint-Étienne welcomes students from other European countries into its programmes. This year, 3 European students (2 Italians, 1 Norwegian) joined the Civil Engineering of Mines programme.
A new Erasmus Mundus master’s programme
The School will coordinate the new Erasmus Mundus master’s programme “Multiphase Systems for Sustainable Engineering”. Olivier Bonnefoy, project lead and lecturer-researcher, explains what this project involves: “It is the creation of a new master’s-level programme open to the best students from around the world. Over two years, the 32 students (including 22 scholarship holders) who join it will develop expertise in multiphase systems—i.e., systems made up of grains, bubbles or droplets such as aerosols, pastes, powders and foams. There are many application areas, largely related to sustainable development: hydrogen, recycling, reprocessing, CO2-free electricity, etc. This new track, combining theoretical and practical courses and internships, is therefore international in its recruitment. It is also international in its teaching approach, as courses will be taken alternately at Mines Saint-Étienne, the Polytechnic University of Turin and the Technical University of Munich. At the end of the programme, taught in English, students will earn not one but three degrees from the different institutions attended. The first cohort is planned for September 2024.”
