Overview

CoDaS is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) programme, funded by Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. CoDaS is also one of the first degrees promoted by the European Programme University Network for Innovation, Technology and Engineering (Unite!). Unite! envisions a ‘European University’, in which University-hubs at excellent European institutes share resources and services in education, research, and management, thereby removing structural barriers and generating new frameworks for a European degree.

Details

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

CoDaS is an international joint master’s programme, where you will study at least in two partner universities. The Programme is structured into 2 years.

First year

Basic studies common in all Consortium Universities

  • General studies (languages, soft skills)
  • Mathematics/Programming/Security
  • Communications
  • Data Science

Second year

Specialization studies, specific to all Consortium Universities, and Thesis

  • Communications, Data Science, and Security (Grenoble INP-UGA)
  • Communications and Data Science (Tecnico Lisboa)
  • Communications, Automation, and Machine Learning (Aalto University)
  • Communications, Machine Learning, Medical Informatics & Biomedicine (TU Braunschweig)
  • Communications, 5G/6G and Internet of Things, and Data Science (UPC BarcelonaTech)

The total number of credits of the programme is 120 ECTS.

All Consortium Universities can be either Home University (first year) or Host University (second year). On the first year, you will complete courses with 60 ECTS at Home University and on the second year, you will complete courses with 30 ECTS and the thesis with 30 ECTS at Host University. On the first year, you will already get a chance to study your field of specialization by completing a course online provided by the second year university.

All students of the programme are required to study at two countries other than their country of residence at the start of studies. If you are a resident of the country of the Home or Host University before starting in the programme, you are required to complete the final semester (thesis work) in another Host University or within the industry in another country.

After completing the programme, you will graduate from the two universities you have completed 60 ECTS, including the thesis. You will be granted a double degree, meaning that you will receive a diploma from both universities.
The titles of the degrees in each partner university are the following:

  • Aalto University: Master of Science (Technology)
  • Grenoble INP-UGA: Master Mention Informatique
  • Técnico Lisboa: Mestre em Engenharia Eletrotécnica e de Computadores
  • TU Braunschweig: Master of Science (M.Sc.) Computer Science
  • UPC: Màster Erasmus Mundus in Communications Engineering and Data Science

The level of the qualification is second-cycle university degree (Master's level), aligned with the Bologna Process."

Description of Ideal Candidate

General Eligibility

You are eligible to apply in master's admissions if you have a bachelor’s degree. The bachelor's degree must be equivalent to 180 ECTS credits or three years of full-time study. The degree must give eligibility to apply for master’s degree studies at university in the awarding country. The awarding higher education institution has to be a recognised part of the official national education system of the country. It has to be accredited as a degree-granting higher education institution by the country where it is located or by a relevant international organisation (such as UNESCO).

You cannot apply to a master’s programme on the basis of a previous master's degree. Only bachelor’s degrees give eligibility for master’s programmes. Exceptions to this are ‘long-cycle’ master's degrees that have been granted without a bachelor’s degree, for instance, degrees awarded in Finland prior to the adoption of the two-cycle degree system in 2008 or licentiate of medicine degrees.
