Erasmus Mundus Joint Master
in Manufacturing 4.0 by intElligent
and susTAinable technologies
meta4.0 is a 2-year Master’s programme fully taught in English and jointly offered by 6 universities
in France, Slovenia, Norway, Germany and Italy with one primary objective, facing the future challenges
of Manufacturing 4.0 by educating a new generation of students to a level of excellence in:
Digital Manufacturing / Clean Manufacturing / Sustainable Manufacturing / Smart Manufacturing
Why
An answer to the current
and future needs of industry
Becoming “greener” is expected to create more than 1 million jobs by 2030, while there are already currently 1 million vacancies in Europe for digital technology experts. Today, 70% of companies report that they cannot find the people with the right skills.
meta4.0 has been designed to respond to the needs of society and the labour market. Graduates will become the future manufacturing experts that will work worldwide and upgrade the skills in the current industry to fill the gaps.
For me
Training the new generation of manufacturing experts
meta4.0 innovatively combines theoretical and applied courses with labs and internships in a multidisciplinary environment.
The programme has been precisely structured to cover during the first year the fundamentals on manufacturing technologies in France and then materials science and engineering in Italy in order to fit the graduates with strong mandatory basis. You will be proposed 4 specializations during the second year and will be able to study in Norway, Slovenia, France or Germany.
Graduated from meta4.0, you will become a highly qualified engineering or scientific staff, in a public or a private sector, trained on key topics such as digitalization, sustainability or advanced manufacturing. meta4.0 will make you benefit form a genuine European learning space and an international network.
Where
The most prominent universities
in Europe in the field of Manufacturing
Among the five largest EU Member States, Germany manufacturing sector contributed to one third of the EU’s value added in 2018, followed by Italy and France who also recorded a large share. This confirms that we have to be the main actors to lead the change of the Manufacturing 4.0!
meta4.0 thus aims of boosting the academic and industrial cooperation with six of the most prominent universities in Europe in the field of Manufacturing.
