The Multiphase Erasmus Mundus is a prestigious two‑year (120 ECTS) joint Master’s program, fully executed in English across three leading European universities: École des Mines de Saint‑Étienne (France), Politecnico di Torino (Italy), and Technische Universität München (Germany). Fuelled by EU funding, this program molds the next generation of engineers and researchers to revolutionize the chemical industry, driving sustainable, circular‑economy solutions integrated with cutting‑edge digital tools
It provides a deep dive into multiphase phenomena such as, think particles, droplets, bubbles in industrial and natural systems. You’ll master fundamentals, eco‑efficient chemical technologies, and modeling techniques like HPC and machine learning. Hands‑on learning formats include seminars, winter schools, Green‑Line projects, plus internship opportunities in industry

Description of the Multiphase Erasmus Mundus Program
The Multiphase Erasmus Mundus Program is designed to train future engineers and scientists in the advanced study of multiphase systems, where solids, liquids, and gases interact in complex and industrially relevant ways. The curriculum offers a comprehensive education in sustainable process engineering, with a strong emphasis on clean technologies, digital simulation tools, and circular economy principles. These multiphase phenomena are central to numerous industrial applications, including chemical reactors, energy systems, environmental technologies, and material processing.
Key features of the Multiphase Erasmus Mundus Program
- Tri‑university experience: France, Italy, Germany
- Triple degree upon graduation
- Strong industrial ties with 19 partner companies (e.g., Bayer, Veolia)
- Applied learning via seminars, winter schools, internship, “Green‑Line” projects
- EU Scholarship: €1,400/month + insurance + fee waivers for top ~22 students; consortium grants for others (~10)
