Obtain a joint Master's degree from multiple universities

  • MEME (the Erasmus Mundus Master's Program in Evolutionary Biology) is a brand new two-year research-oriented Master's program for talented and motivated students who are interested in understanding evolution in all its facets.
  • Four European universities are involved in this program, including the LMU; the University of Groningen, Netherlands; Uppsala University, Sweden; University of Montpellier II, France. Harvard University, USA, is also associated with the programme.
  • Students will spend their first semester at either Groningen or Uppsala, and their second semester at the LMU or Montpellier. After that, students may choose where they want to complete their Master's research. They might select a third university, including Harvard, stay at their second university, or return to their first university.
  • Students who decide to come to Munich will take coursework and do research in partnership with the EES Program.
  • Upon completion of the program, students will be awarded double or (in some cases) triple degrees from two or three partner universities.
  • Applications for admission in September 2012 are due on January 15, 2012 for both EU and non-EU students.
  • For all information, questions, and application materials, please go to the MEME website.
