2026 Erasmus Mundus MULTIPHASE Scholarship

The MULTIPHASE programme proposes an Erasmus Mundus master in the booming field of Multiphase Systems, with the ambition of educating a new generation of industrial experts, engineers, and researchers, to bring the Chemical Industry into a new age based on sustainable processes, circular economy and all the potential of digital tools.

The consortium of MULTIPHASE is composed of three highly experienced partners in the field of advanced Chemical Engineering both in research and educational aspects: Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne (France), Polytechnic University of Turin (Italy) and Technical University of Munich (Germany). It has been designed to integrate their complementary strengths supplemented by numerous associated partners (19 industrial companies, from SMEs to international groups, and 12 universities worlwide).

The programme is based on the established pillars: physico-chemistry of multiphase systems, eco-efficient chemical technologies and modelling (High Performance Computing and Machine Learning) towards innovation. It addresses aspects and applications ranging from basic research in physics and chemistry and beyond to major grand challenges as energy, materials, health and environment, to which multiphase systems bring a lot.

Selection Process

The selection procedure starts right after each application deadline. For your understanding, you will find below the main steps followed by the Selection Committee for each application campaign:

• administrative evaluation: each application is checked for eligibility 
• academic evaluation: each eligible application receives an academic score
• final ranking: based on academic scores and other selection criteria 
• admission to the master and, possibly, allocation of a scholarship

Application Documents

• Scan of Identity Document
• PHOTOGRAPH
• PROOF OF ENGLISH PROFICIENCY
• Proof of Bachelor
• Scientific background
• Curriculum Vitae
• Letter(s) of recommendation
• Academic transcript of records

The Selection Committee, mostly composed of French, Italian and German persons, is obviously not able to understand every language of the world. For this reason, it is required that some documents are translated into English to be considered for the application.

 

The highest possible degree of fairness is aimed at in the selection process. Recognizing the fact that some applications are artificially good (i.e. fraudulous) and may be selected in place of truly excellent applications, we require that some documents of your application have to undergo a notarization process: 

• the obtained diploma and degrees (BSc, MSc, ...)
• the academic transcript of records of your whole Degree (lectures, credits, marks, rankings, ...), also known as Graduate Report, along with the grading scale used 

These documents have to be both translated into English AND notarized. In other words, official documents natively written in English must still be notarized.

Notarization is the official fraud-deterrent process that assures the parties of a transaction that a document is authentic, and can be trusted. The notarization body is a third body accredited by a government authority. A third body is by definition a body separate from your university. In other words, even if the document is attested, stamped, signed, certified, ... by your university's topmost officials, it is not considered as notarized. A notarization body, or person, is typically:

• a notary public
• a sworn translator
• a sworn lawyer
• a sworn officer from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
• a sworn officer from the Higher Education Commission of the Ministry of Education

Since the translation and notarization process takes quite a long time, we strongly advise you to start it as soon as possible.
