The Erasmus Mundus Masters Course "European Master in Applied Ecology" (EMMC-EMAE), with the support of European commission, plans to form specialists able to develop and lead ecological projects throughout the world by providing them with a wide range of competences and skills, completed by a professional specialization in one of several leading fields of Ecology (Conservation, Toxicology, Functional ecosystem dynamics, Evolutionary ecology, Environmental sciences). This course is offered in partnership with the University of East Anglia (UK), University of Poitiers (France), University of Coimbra (Portugal), and Christian-Albrechts-Universitat in Kiel (Germany). A number of scholarships are offered. Deadline for applications: 8 January 2012. 

“The European Master in Applied Ecology is a rare opportunity to learn from three universities (or even four) and a great excuse to travel around Europe. Doing my second year at UEA has really helped me redefine a better version of myself as a researcher and scientist, particularly in the field of conservation ecology. It's an intense two years, but I've established great contacts in my field and have met really awesome people from around the world who I am proud to call my friends."

Newcastle University - School of Computing Science

The School of Computing Science is one of the longest established in the UK and our reputation, built up over more than 50 years, means that we are able to secure research funding from sources such as the UK research councils, the European Union and industry.

Research is currently clustered in five groups: biology, neuroscience and computing; concurrent asynchronous systems; dependability; human–computer interaction; and systems. 

All our groups are supported by, and in many cases lead, large multisite national and international projects involving the active engagement of both industry and other research disciplines.

Our degree programmes reflect the research strengths of our School and are taught by lecturers who are also leading researchers in their field. It is research-led teaching which gives our postgraduates the edge in an increasingly competitive jobs market.
