Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion

Advertisement

The European Master Course Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion
(MESC) is designed to provide a two-year (120 ECTS) education program
in Materials Sciences and Electrochemistry within 7 universities in 5
countries : France (Marseille, Toulouse, Amiens), Poland
(Warsaw), Spain (Cordoba), USA (Philadelphia) and China (Xiamen).

MESC has been granted by the European Commission as an Erasmus
Mundus Master course. Erasmus Mundus supports European
top-quality Masters courses and enhances the visibility and
attractiveness of European higher education in third countries.

For students who join MESC it is also an opportunity to study
in a multicultural environment since our students come from all over
the world. That´s why classes are taught in English by professors and
researchers who interact through the European network of excellence
Alistore. We also provide upgrading in Eenglish to help everybody follow
classes. So, don´t hesitate, give energy to your studies and join MESC !
