About the programme

The European Master in Radiation and its Effects on Microelectronics and Photonics Technologies provides a multidisciplinary and innovative programme covering the interactions between Radiation and MicroElectronics and Photonics, two Key Enabling Technologies for the future of Europe. RADMEP's objective is to educate students in those advanced technologies, providing methodologies and introducing practical applications for their implementation in a variety of natural or man-made radiation-rich environments. RADMEP has two goals: first to improve the career prospects of its students and second to respond to the needs of the industry, agencies and society. Thanks to this Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree, students will develop useful professional and soft skills in the rich European cultural context.

All RADMEP students will start their studies in semester 1 at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland), before moving to KU Leuven Geel Campus (Belgium) in semester 2. They will obtain fundamental knowledge and experience in MicroElectronics and Photonics and  their behavior under irradiation.

In the third semester, RADMEP students will have to make a choice between two different specialisations: Radiation Effects on Photonics Technologies at Université Jean Monnet Saint-Etienne (France), or Radiation Effects on MicroElectronics at Université de Montpellier (France).  Finally, in the last semester, students will undertake a 6-month master's thesis in a research centre or in the industry (for example from the large RADMEP network of more than 35 associate partners).

Career perspectives

European Master of Science in Radiation and its Effects on Microelectronics and Photonics Technologies graduates will find broad employment opportunities in various sectors including radiation, photonics and microelectronics.

Graduates will meet the growing demands of the industry, agencies and society across the globe. They will develop useful professional and soft skills in the rich European cultural context and have improved career prospects.
