Max Plank Institute Germany Ph.D Program in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics

The International Max Planck Research School for Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics offers a PhD program in

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, Environmental Physics and Geophysics.

But also doctoral students with a background in biology and geosciences participate in this interdisciplinary program. Through the combination of high quality research, state of the art instrumentation development, field measurements and innovative education methods the research school attracts talented and highly motivated young scientists from all over the world. Established by the Max Planck Society in January 2003, the following outstanding institutes form the core of the research school:

  • MPI for Chemistry Mainz
  • University of Mainz
  • University of Heidelberg
  • University of Frankfurt

Who Can Apply?

If you hold a Master’s degree in physical or chemical sciences you are invited to apply. There is no specific deadline for application.

A Research School Board, formed by members of the initiating institutes, will decide on admittance. Selection will be based on your university records and two letters of recommendation.

Applications must include:

  • A complete and signed application form (see downloads)

Erasmus Mundus M.Sc. in Photonics

Five leading research and educational institutions in Europe are collaborating to offer a joint Erasmus Mundus Master of Science program in Photonics, (M.Sc. Photonics) providing a top-quality eduction in all aspects of photonics. The master programme has a duration of two years (120 ECTS points), with students spending a year in two different countries.

Program Structure

The Erasmus Mundus MSc programme in Photonics is a 2-year (120 credits) fully English-taught programme, with the students spending one year in one country and the other year in another country. The first year is mainly devoted to a programme of core photonics courses with

essentially the same content at all institutes, complemented by a number of advanced photonics

courses as well as a number of multidisciplinary courses. In the second year the students move to another location where they continue to take advanced photonics courses and multidisciplinary courses and where they do their master thesis in a field of their interest. The choice of second year location is mainly the result of the particular research interests of the student. Indeed, the 5 different universities offer thesis work in different particular subfields of photonics.

Admission criteria
The Erasmus Mundus MSc in Photonics offers admission to applicants who appear to have the highest potential for graduate study and who, with the benefit of a graduate education, are the most likely to contribute substantially to their academic or professional fields through teaching, research, or professional practice.

The minimum graduate admission requirements are:

  1. A bachelor’s degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution (minimum 3 years full time study or 180 ECTS credits) in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Physics, Materials Science or a related discipline. Students in their last year of such a bachelor programme will however also be considered.
  1. Sufficient English language ability. The following shall be accepted as sufficient proof:
    • the prospective student has already successfully completed a one-year English-language study programme, either at a different institution of higher education or at a secondary school;
    • a TOEFL-TEST, taken as recently as within the last two years, showing a score of at least 570 (paper-based) or 87 (internet-based)
    • an original “test report from” (TRF) from IELTS, issued as recently as within the last two years, showing a score of at least 6.5, with a minimum of 6.0 per each part
    • If prospective students hold a secondary education diploma, an academic Bachelor’s diploma or a Master’s diploma awarded by an educational institution that is duly recognised by the Flemish Community, no proof of sufficient English language ability must be provided.

Candidates will be ranked according to the criteria given below:

  1. Obtained degrees. Applicants are recommended also to provide additional information (short course description, course credits,…) on the courses they have taken during their previous studies, especially in the fields of applied mathematics, electromagnetics, optics, electronics, telecommunications and semiconductor physics.
  2. Grades/marks
  3. English language ability
  4. Motivation statement
  5. Any relevant publications, thesis or project work, etc.

The information about these 5 points has to be given in the application form.

In addition candidates are asked to provide at least two (2) letters of reference from persons who are very well acquainted with their academic performance. These letters may be sent directly to the office of the EMMP or together with the other application documents under sealed envelopes.

Candidates that have scored well on the above points will be briefly interviewed via telephone. They will be asked questions about their motivation and about their previous experience as well as technical questions.
