Leuven (Belgium), TU Chalmers (Sweden), TU Delft and University of Leiden (The Netherlands) It is a two-years - two locations - two degrees' programme: Students study the first year at K.U. Leuven (Belgium) and the second year at another of our universities; students are awarded the masters degrees of both universities they have studied at. Application deadline: 1 February 2010 for non EEA citizens and 1 June 2010 for EEA citizens (EEA: European Economic Area). Scholarships available More information on page "EMM-Nano" and at: www.emm-nano.org Teachers and Facilities The degrees are hosted by the Biotechnology Center and all professors of the centre teach on the course. Additionally, there are teachers from several institutes of the university and the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics. The course takes mostly place in the BioZ, which contains state-of-the-art lab facilities, computer rooms, and lecture theatres. TU Dresden The Technical University of Dresden (TUD) is one of the top 10 universities in Germany and is justifiably proud of its fine tradition in education and the state of the art facilities that resulted from the modernization after the German reunification in 1990. New faculties have been added to the traditional faculties of sciences and engineering including economics, humanities, social sciences and medicine. As a result the range of research possibilities and courses now offered by the TUD is broad and perfectly suited for interdisciplinary graduate studies like the Masters course in Molecular Bioengineering. Over 9,000 members of staff, including 800 professors and senior lecturers ensure the high standards of teaching and research that have established the TUD´s reputation and attracted 30,000 students. 3,000 of them are international students from about 100 different countries. The ratio between staff and students is very competitive and this makes for a more personal atmosphere and excellent studying conditions. Studying in Dresden Although Dresden was largely destroyed during the second world war, it is still nicknamed "Florence on the Elbe": The sumptuous art collections and impressive monumental buildings have given the city world-wide fame. Dresden is also a research and science city, as well as an important industrial stronghold. Yet first and foremost, it is a first-rate city of culture, with world-famous ensembles such as the Saxon State Opera, the State Chapel and the Kreuzchor singers. The river Elbe divides Dresden into the old city and the new city. In the old city on the left banks of the Elbe, famous buildings and interesting sights are lined up: the Zwinger, the Green Vault, the Painting Gallery, the castle, the Semper Opera, the Court Chapel, Taschenberg Palace, the Dresden Church of our Lady (Frauenkirche), which is still undergoing restoration, the Brühlsche Terrasse. All of these can are easy to reach on foot. The new city, on the other hand, exudes an aura of middle-class baroque and shows what Dresden was like during the industrial revolution. The large district, dating back to the industrial revolution, between Bautznerstrasse and Priessnitzstrasse, Bischofsweg and Königsbrücker Strasse features many lovingly restored buildings that contrast with the old, dilapidated houses. Äusseren Neustadt, Dresden's 'in' district, has particularly appealing contrasts: colourful and exclusive shops, fine and simple restaurants, narrow streets with pubs, restaurants, bars and clubs. There are three remarkable castles on the Elb slope between Albert Bridge and Blauem Wunder: Albrechtsberg Castle, Lingner Castle and Eckberg Castle. Pillnitz Castle and Moritzburg Castle in the surrounding region, are also well worth a visit. The Elb Valley extends around Saxony's capital city and is one of the most beautiful river landscapes in Europe. 10 Reasons why to apply for the International Masters programmes
