<p>The selected students will study in at least 2 countries; the simplest mobility scheme being a selection of two different locations: one per academic year, according to the specialization field of the targeted master thesis topic.</p><p><strong>Students can visit up to 3 universities. Students wishing to come back to the University of Lille for the 4th semester master thesis</strong> will have to spend the 2nd AND/OR 3rd semester at another location.</p><ul><li><strong>1st semester :</strong>Lille (FR)</li><li><strong>2nd semester</strong>: Bologna (IT), Lille (FR) or Leipzig (DE)</li><li><strong>3rd and/or 4th semester: </strong>mobility in another of the consortium institutions.</li></ul><p>The ASC consortium covers all fields of spectroscopy, with an emphasis on specialization courses in the following specialties:</p><ul><li>Helsinki (FI): Computational Chemistry, Green and Atmospheric Chemistry</li><li>Krakow (PL): Spectroscopy of Nano- and Biomaterials</li><li>Leipzig (DE): Spectroscopy for Bioorganics, Surface Science and Catalysis</li><li>Lille (FR): Solid State Spectroscopy and Catalysis</li><li>Bologna (IT): Sustainable Chemistry, Spectroscopy for Fluid and Condensed Phases</li></ul><p><strong>Mobility is organized</strong> well in advance, as early as mid-November of the first semester: each student will select his/her mobility pathway towards the choice of a specific field for his/her master thesis in the 4th semester.<strong> A ranking</strong> of 3 choices per student is required, each different choice being duly motivated and explained in a common letter of motivation<strong>.</strong><strong> </strong>This ranking will be discussed by the Academic Board in a meeting held for the purpose of reaching a minimum distribution of <strong>3-4 students per ASC institution</strong> for the second year of ASC studies.</p>
