Overview
Details
Hydrogen technologies can play a key role in reducing polluted emissions by mid-century, and be part of the mosaic of solutions needed to mitigate climate change. In particular, green hydrogen can be the link between renewable sources and end uses to achieve decarbonisation objectives at different levels (energy conversion, industrial use, mobility).
Hydrogen technologies
Hydrogen technologies can play a key role in reducing polluted emissions by mid-century, and be part of the mosaic of solutions needed to mitigate climate change. In particular, green hydrogen can be the link between renewable sources and end uses to achieve decarbonisation objectives at different levels (energy conversion, industrial use, mobility).
The European Union strategy plans to achieve the decarbonisation objectives for 2050 thanks to the 24% increase in the use of hydrogen, thus contributing to a reduction of CO2 equal to 560 Mt and obtaining economic movements equal to 820 billion Euro: to achieve this goal, it has planned to create around 1 million high-profile jobs by 2030, with a forecast of 5.4 million by 2050.
The aim of HySET is to educate well-trained and enthusiastic professionals with an extensive multidisciplinary knowledge of hydrogen technologies and systems; their training occurs in an international, multicultural environment to stimulate global collaboration to cope with the complex challenges of the energy transition. Cooperation between academic and industrial partners is one key principles of the program.
HySET covers the whole hydrogen value chain: Hydrogen production processes and technologies, Hydrogen storage processes and technologies, Hydrogen transportation/logistic/infrastructure, Hydrogen end uses (stationary, mobility, industry, residential, including fuel cells), Hydrogen safety, codes and standards, including all the socio-economic aspects related to a huge transition to Hydrogen use.
The program is organized over a total of 120 ECTS. In their first-year students will acquire fundamental knowledge, for 30 ECTS in the first semester, and industrial knowledge, for 30 ECTS in the second semester, on the hydrogen value chain through courses taken at two entry point universities (entry points will be Politecnico di Torino and Politecnico di Milano). In the second year the students will take the opportunity to have more specialized courses, for 30 ECTS in the third semester moving to another partner university, and ultimately to complete a final graduate dissertation, for 30 ECTS in the fourth semester, preferably as Internship at one Industrial Associated Partner or Supporting Partner.
HySET in a nutshell
The programme will provide students with a systemic overview and the ability to dialogue with a large panel of specialists while having solid core competencies. The program is organized over a total of 120 ECTS. In their first-year students will acquire fundamental knowledge, for 30 ECTS in the first semester, and industrial knowledge, for 30 ECTS in the second semester, on the hydrogen value chain through courses taken at two entry point universities (entry points will be Politecnico di Torino and Politecnico di Milano).
In the second year the students will take the opportunity to have more specialized courses, for 30 ECTS in the third semester moving to another partner university, and ultimately to complete a final graduate dissertation, for 30 ECTS in the fourth semester, preferably as Internship at one Industrial Associated Partner or Supporting Partner (located in Europe).

Description of Ideal Candidate
Degree
In order to be eligible for the HySET Erasmus Mundus Joint Master, students must hold a Bachelor Degree (at least 180 credits) in one of the following disciplines (or equivalent):
- Mechanical Engineering
- Energy Engineering
- Chemical Engineering / Chemistry
- Electrical Engineering
- Aeronautical Engineering
- Physics
- Industrial Engineering
Such specific requirements may be assessed as not fulfilled if
- The average grade is in the lower third on the grading scale used (above pass level);
- The degree awarding institution is not considered to meet acceptable quality standards by the authorities of the country in which the institution is located.
- The degree does not qualify for admission to equivalent Master level in the country where the degree is awarded.
- Prospective student aiming to continue their study at TU/e have to possess a stronger background in chemistry
Selection Procedure
The coordinating institution (Politecnico di Torino) is in charge to checks all submitted documents and if the applicants fulfil the admission requirements.
The applications are reviewed and rated by two reviewers from the five academic partners of the consortium. Four criteria are graded, for a maximum score of 100 points. The criteria are the following:
- Academic achievements (GPA, graduation score): Max 30 points
- Relevance of previous studies (university of origin, check of the basic background on mathematics, physics, chemistry): Max 30 points
- Maximum 2 recommendation letters (by previous universities or companies) Self-presentation (CV, video, skype interview if necessary): Max 20 points
- Motivation / work experience / professional and academic potential / awards: Max 20 points
On the basis of these reviews, the Admission Board allocates four different statuses to each application:
- Admitted in the main list (qualified for an EMJM scholarship application)
- Registered in the reserve list (qualification for a EU scholarship pending)
- For these both statuses (main and reserve lists), if a student is finally disqualified for a EU scholarship, a self-paying status will be proposed (see financial conditions)
- Admitted with a self-paying status (see financial conditions), not qualified for a EU scholarship
- Not admitted in the HySET program
Students will be informed by email about their application in mid February. Students who are selected have to confirm their participation. The main list and the reserve list are then sent to the EU for approval. Final results (following EU approval) are released in February.

Cost/funding for participants
What does an HySET Erasmus Mundus scholarship cover?
The scholarship is awarded for full time enrolment and will cover the entire duration of the Master programme (24 months). A reduced duration of the scholarship possible if recognition of prior learning (of min. 1 year).
The student scholarship for the HySET programme includes:
- A scholarship tuition waiver: this covers the costs for programme tuition plus health insurance
- A monthly living allowance amounting to 1,400 EUR for the entire duration of the HySET programme that cover the contribution to travel and installation costs: this is meant to support your travel and settling at an HySET location (e.g., flight airfare and visa fees).
All prospective HySET students can apply for scholarships. The scholarship is the same for EU and non-EU students.
Un-save Opportunity
Internships, scholarships, student conferences and competitions.
