Overview
The multidisciplinary IMLEX programme brings together image conversion, lighting and computer science. The objective of the programme is to train experts who in addition to a solid theoretical understanding of virtual reality will also possess strong practical skills in virtual reality applications. Students on the IMLEX programme will benefit from European research expertise combined with Japanese expertise in research addressing virtual reality and robotics. The European Commission and the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) have selected IMLEX as one of the first Erasmus Mundus Master Joint Degree Partnerships with Japan.
Details
IMLEX is implemented by a consortium of four universities:
- Toyohashi University of Technology (Japan),
- University Jean Monnet Saint-Etienne (France)
- KU Leuven (Belgium)
The Japanese associate partners are Utsunomiya University, Chiba University and Itoh Optical Industrial Co. The programme also has leading virtual reality companies from Finland as collaborators, companies specialized in Lighting, as well as the multinational Nvidia corporation.
LONG TIME COOPERATION
The universities of the IMLEX consortium have cooperated in Master’s level education for a long time. For example, CIMET and COSI Master’s Programmes have been running for more than 10 years, and we are proud to say that our graduates have made exceptionally impressive careers, many of them attributing their career success to the programmes!
Do you want to benefit from the unique mobility, cooperation and academic excellence of IMLEX? The second IMLEX student cohort will start their studies in September 2021.
The application round for 2021 will be open 1 December 2020 – 20 January 2021.
