1. Academic record
Excellence of the candidate: outstanding achievement in the applicant's BSc degree level (i.e. 180 ECTS in the European system) or equivalent, in physics, optics, imaging science, computer science, mathematics or any discipline pertaining to the quantitative description of color, provided that the applicant can provide evidence of the necessary previous knowledge (i.e. a base of minimal competencies) particularly in the fields of physical/technical fundamentals, computer science fundamentals, and image analysis and signal processing fundamentals.

The applicants of third countries have to be graduated with a graduate diploma equivalent of a graduate level of 180 ECTS in the European system. The applicants must have at least a C average on ECTS grading scale, or equivalent, during their undergraduate studies. The CIMET Consortium reserves the right to moderate this criterion according to the prestige of the diploma or the ranking of the University of origin of the student.
2. Language
Language ability: teaching and examination being given in English, the candidate must demonstrate sound knowledge of the language (the requirement for competence in English is equivalent to TOEFL with at least 213 points (computer based)/550 points (paper based)/95 points Internet based or IELTS at grade 6.5, or a Cambridge Proficiency Certificate of English at least grade C). A letter from your University will be accepted if the English language was the medium of teaching throughout your degree.
Knowledge of French, Spanish, Finnish, and Norwegian is not compulsory but would be beneficial.
3. Motivation
Describe your motivation to undertake the Masters and relevance to your professional development. Explain why you apply, your present situation, the choice of the second semester specialization, your interest in the degree, your ideas of research, your intentions after this degree.
4. Gender equality
Beyond these three main criteria, and provided that the qualification and the quality of candidates is identical, the consortium will have a particular attention to the principle of gender equality in cooperating with the national and European organizations in charge of helping and counselling the higher education institutions toward gender equality in the student, academic and research communities.

 

 

Students and scholars'applications will be performed online via the common platform (www.master-erasmusmundus-color.eu) which will be open early fall each year. All the information sent by students will be accessible to the administrative coordinator as well as the academic coordinators of each university.
Documents required for your application will have to be uploaded on the server and will have to be sent by post or express mail for verification.
The following documents will be required of each applicant to be uploaded on the server:

1. An application for admission completely filled and duly registered by the common online platform, which will give a username and password to each applicant. Each student participating in the Joint Masters Courses must select among different curricula, corresponding to different specializations. Each curriculum defines the two institutions that the student will visit during the Master Program. Hence the applicant must express preferences on the curriculum, ranking the university of specialization;
2. A Curriculum Vitae (written in English) stating the main personal information (birth name, birth date, citizenship, address, ...) the studies since high school (degrees, institutions, grades) as well as any professional experience and any other relevant information.
3. A personal motivation statement, written in English, describing the reasons for application to the Master CIMET. The statement must also indicate your preference among the four universities proposed for the first semester, your preference among the two universities proposed for the second semester (i.e. for the first specialization), your preferences among the compulsory courses proposed for the second semester and your preference among the two specializations proposed for the third semester (i.e. for the second specialization).
4. Copies of transcripts or other academic records that give proof on the undergraduate and first graduate studies, including credits and grades achieved in each single subject. Documents from outside the consortium countries must be either in English or in original language accompanied by a certified English translation. Depending on the home countries, applicants may be asked to provide Certificates of Authenticity issued by recognized diplomatic or administrative authorities, and to send them by regular mail. (STUDENTS APPLICATION ONLY)
5. Two letters of recommendation (written in English). If it is not common practice in your country to be able to open the recommendation letters, either ask your referees to send them directly to cimet@ligiv.org and if not possible, do give us the details of your referees whilst we are waiting for the letters by post. (STUDENTS APPLICATION ONLY)
6. A certificate of language proficiency in English or a letter from your University as explained above. (STUDENTS APPLICATION ONLY)
7. Research project and publications, if they are mentioned in the Vitae. (especially for Scholars' application)
8. A copy of your valid passport (validity should be extended to at least six months after the end of the two-year Master programme)

The coordinating institution will check all documents sent and if qualifications of each candidate correspond to admission criteria. In a second phase, the selection process will begin.
Online evaluation will be made by each institution of the consortium, grading each criterion for each application from 0 to 5 (5 Excellent, 4 Very good, 3 Good, 2 Satisfactory, 1 Sufficient, 0 Insufficient). The grading of the institutions will be shared by all the other institutions of the consortium.
After ranking the applicants and establishing the final list, each student will be informed and offered a two-year program taking into account as much as possible your choice of universities of specialization.
Note that the final acceptance will have to take into account the quotas set up by the European agency of institutions of origin, country of origin and previous studies and stay in Europe. (available on the EAC EA website)
A waiting list will be established and each time a new admission possibility arises (if a withdrawal happens) an offer will be made to a new potential student.
