EUROPEAN CONSORTIUMOF INNOVATIVE UNIVERSITIES

THE NETWORKIn 1997, some of Europe’s most innova-tive universities came together to form a new continent-wide network, to share and build on their successes as entrepre-neurial institutions. The name European Consortium of Innovative Universities underlines the European dimension of a selected group of entrepreneurial univer-sities dedicated to the development of an innovative culture in their institutions and to play a catalytic role for innovation in industry and society at large. This is also reflected in the ECIU Vision: “ECIU - Challenging Conventional Thinking - ECIU is the leading international consor-tium of research intensive universities, with collective emphasis on innovation, creativity and societal impact, driving the development of a knowledge-based economy.” In an increasingly competitive labour market, and with the increased interna-tionalisation of higher education as such, the ECIU acknowledges the importance of providing students with opportunities for going abroad.

EXCHANGE PACKAGESAn exchange package is a list of modules offered by an ECIU University, from any thematic field, totalling up to 30 ECTS. If you’re thinking about taking part in an exchange or study abroad programme, you can apply for an exchange package that suits your field of studies. The ECIU Exchange Package guarantees that you get:• An integrated study programme on your chosen topic• No overlapping timetables• Classes and exams in English• Academic recognition of all your ECTS

AALBORG

Irmelin, 27Urban Development and Design

Do you want to live in a city that is full of cultural activities and has a char-acter that immediately makes you feel at home? Than the cozy, small city of Aalborg is the place for you. Either meeting your friends at the student house for a beer, visiting a café to play board games, or a crazy night out in “Gaden”, Aalborg has it all. I got to know so many interesting people from different cultures during my stay.

“

”

AALBORG

LOCATIONAalborg University is located in the northern part of Den-mark, situated in the 3rd largest region in the country. Our main campus is in the regional capital of Aalborg, but you will also find campuses in Copenhagen and Esbjerg. The university plays a considerable part in the city’s daily life because approximately 10% of the inhabitants are students.

ACCOMMODATIONThe situation regarding accommodation is different in our three campus cities. In Aalborg and Esbjerg you can apply for accommodation on a first come first served principle. Finding accommodation in Copenhagen is a bit more chal-lenging but AAU Cph will help you as much as possible. Please remember, you must apply for accommodation in due time prior to arrival.

LIVING COSTSLiving expenses in Denmark will, of course, vary accord-ing to personal requirements and standards. As a guideline a single student needs DKK 7,500 (€1008/USD 1,293) per month to cover living and other expenses (incl. accommo-dation). There are no tuition fees for students inside EU/EEA. Students from outside EU/EEA will be charged tuition fee varying from €5,600 to €15,000 depending on the type of study. However, if you are a guest student from one of our partners you do not have to pay tuition fee.

CURRENCYThe currency in Denmark is Danish Kroner (7.5 DKK = €1).

VISASAll visitors to Denmark must have a valid passport to en-ter the country. Visa requirements to enter the country vary and are always subject to change, so it is always wise to check with the Danish embassy or consulate in your area before finalizing any travel plans. In general, students who study in Denmark must obtain a residence permit. Visiting academic staff and foreign researchers and employees are required to get a resident/work permit. Note that you may risk being sent out of the country if you enter on false prem-ises, e.g. a tourist visa.

UNIVERSITY STRUCTUREAalborg University is an entrepreneurial research university with app. 19,000 students. It was founded in 1974 and has all the facilities that define a modern university. We offer education and research in areas ranging from humanities, social sciences, engineering, natural sciences and medicine. Approximately 80 degree programmes are taught in English language.

FACULTIESHumanitiesSocial SciencesEngineering and ScienceMedicine

EDUCATIONAL STRUCTUREThe Danish study workload is measured in ECTS-credits. These credits are based on workload. Workload includes contact hours, but also practical assignments, lab work and self-study at home. All credits are based on the European Credit Transfer and accumulation System scheme. 60 cred-its (also called ECTS) represent one year of study in terms of workload.

GENERAL SEMESTER DATESSemester 1Start: 1st SeptemberSemester 2Start: 1st February

STUDENT LIFEIn addition to study facilities on campus, Aalborg Universi-ty and the cities of Aalborg, Esbjerg and Copenhagen offer a variety of possibilities. We have one of the best “Student Houses” which is run by students and a venue for several happenings and get-togethers. In the cities you will also find many entertainment possibilities such as theatres, cinemas, sports, museums, exhibitions, shopping, cafés, restaurants, parks, forests and international concerts just to mention a few.

AVEIRO

Melina, 21Psychology Student

The first thing that attracted my attention was the helpfulness of the Portu-guese people. Whenever I did not know the way to the next supermarket or buildings of the university they were guiding me to my destination even if they had to go in another direction. At the university it was the same. The contact persons for international students spoke English fluently and helped you with any problems as accommodations or official documents.The city is very small and charming. With its canals in the center it reminded me a bit of a Portuguese Venice.”

“

AVEIRO

LOCATIONAveiro is located on the beautiful Atlantic coastline of Por-tugal, around 250 km to the north of Lisbon. The city is served by excellent rail and road connections to Lisbon and the inland towns as well as to the close by cities of Oporto and Coimbra. Sá Carneiro international airport in Oporto, which is less than 1 hour away, provides convenient connec-tions throughout Europe.

ACCOMMODATIONExchange students receive help from the International Of-fice to find accommodation in one of the University Halls of Residence. For students who do not live at the Univer-sity Halls there are other options. With the help of the ERASMUS STUDENT NETWORK, many students share flats nearby the campus or in the city centre. Typical prices for student accommodation range from €180 to €250 per month.

BARCELONA

Julia, 24International Business Student

Do you also dream about a country where the weather is always great, a city that never sleeps, lying on a long beach with palm trees wherever you look around, meeting nice people from all over the world, eating delicious tapas before you leave to one of the best parties in your life and drinking Sangria all day long? Then you should definitely go to Barcelona! Normally there are small classes with around 30–50 students and classes are more active, including discussions and often also homework. Unfortunately there is often compulsory attendance; however there is normally at least one day (mostly Friday) where you are free and then you can explore the surrounding land of Barcelona and other Spanish cities.

DUBLIN

Simon, 25Biotechnology Student

When I decided to go to Dublin and I first contacted the International Office I was overwhelmed by their friendliness and how they helped me with my visa application and enrollment. They are even still in touch with me and make sure I can fully enjoy my time studying at DCU. The University itself is really well equipped with state of the art laboratories, a huge cafeteria and a great sports hall. They got over 100 different clubs and societies and I totally recommend joining one since you then make friends really quickly and are able to dive in to the Irish culture. Dublin and its beautiful surroundings is only a stone’s throw away from campus and got everything you can imagine. And another great thing about DCU, it’s the best way to improve your English rapidly! Learning by doing! ”

HAMBURG

Merten, 23Mechanical Engineering and Numerical Methods (Msc.)

Going to Hamburg means getting to know “Schietwetter”. Or as we use to say: there is no bad weather - there’s only bad clothing. But don’t hesitate! The beautiful Alster (a large lake directly in the center of the city) many green parks and the impressive industrial romanticism of Hamburg harbour reward everyone coming to the most beautiful city in the world. The river Elbe seperates Hamburg into a northern and a southern part. In the south - where our small but pretty modern TUHH is located at - almost 60 cultures and nationalities meet in the aspiring new scene-quarter Wilhelmsburg. For somebody new in Hamburg the Reeperbahn is the place-to-be when it comes to weekend and party; fans of electronic music will quickly discover (and learn to love) the fancy open-air festival culture! Going to Berlin takes only 1,5h but I swear you’ll come back soon...”

“

LOCATIONHamburg University of Technology TUHH is located in Hamburg, the second biggest city in Germany. The metrop-olis on the Elbe River is Germany’s second-largest city and has the country’s largest seaport. Parks and green spaces run through almost a fifth of the city area, and usually they are not far from the ever-present water. Hamburg is not only a region of economic growth but also a place of culture and entertainment.

ACCOMMODATIONThe Accommodation Office TUHH support international students arriving in Hamburg from abroad in their accom-modation search. You should expect to pay between €250 and €400 for a single room with shared kitchen and bath-room facilities, according to availability.

LIVING COSTSLiving costs would of course vary according to the type of accommodation and lifestyle. You should expect a mini-mum of €750 per months plus roughly €250 per semester for study materials.TUHH does not charge tuition fees for exchange students in regular exchange programs like ERASMUS, but all stu-dents including exchange students will have to pay a semes-ter contribution of about €240 per semester for the student union, student welfare organization and the semester ticket, which provides free public transport in the Hamburg area for the semester.

CURRENCYThe currency in Germany is the Euro €.

VISASForeign students require a residence permit for educational purposes, issued by a German embassy or consulate in the students’ country of origin. We advise you to contact your German embassy as soon as possible to find out which doc-uments you need for your visa application.This regulation does not apply to students from EU coun-tries and from countries with which other agreements exist. In addition, all foreign students must register with the resi-dent’s registration office on their arrival in Hamburg.

INSURANCEIn Germany, every student is required to have valid health insurance. Therefore you will have to show proof of this on registration at the university. European students will usually bring their European Health Insurance Card, or as a re-place¬ment the E 111/E128 form. Non-Europeans will in general have to apply for insurance in Germany as only a few insurance policies from abroad will meet with German regulations.

UNIVERSITY STRUCTUREHamburg University of Technology was founded in 1978

and is a competitive entrepreneurial university that is fo-cused on high-level performance and quality standards. As an internationally oriented university with about 6.600 students it is dedicated to the Humboldt ideals of unity of research and education.

LINKÖPING

Anna, 22International Business Student

Linköping is a typical student town with approximately one thousand new exchange students every semester. The offer of parties is great both on cam-pus and in the city. One typical thing you must get used to when going to Sweden is queuing, as Swedes love to queue up for anything there is.The thing that I liked most about living in Sweden is the possibility to take the bike or the bus for 10 minutes and you are completely out of town and in beautiful nature. Whoever likes Scandinavia will love Linköping, as it is quite central and you can take a lot of nice trips out. ”

LODZ

Marina, 23Management Student

My time in Poland was a once in a lifetime experience. Everyone is unique and open to explore the world. During the EILC language course I made many friends, but also later on in my host university and in my dormitory. I learned about many different cultures and became friends with people from all over the world, mostly from Europe, but also from Russia, California or South Africa. During Erasmus the social life is central. We were cooking to-gether, going to bars, exploring the city, experiencing the Polish culture and travelling the country. You arrive with nothing and you leave with friends from an international community and countless amazing experiences.

MONTERREY

Justus, 22International Business Student

Santiago de Querétaro is a beautiful city, located in the heart of Mexico, which is why it is the perfect starting point for traveling to many wonder-ful places all around the country. Not only in the university context, but also outside the campus, people were always welcoming, open-minded and ready to help. The phrase “mi casa es su casa”, which literally means “my house is your house”, is deeply embodied in all the people that I came into contact with. As well as interesting and demanding courses offered in small groups, the university also has a great range of sporting activities, not to mention trips to a number of beautiful places. To sum up, I can say that I would recommend studying in Mexico for a semester to anyone who wants to get to know the amazing people and the great landscape of the country, as well as having a great time! ”

Joline, 21Social Sciences Student

I highly recommend the orientation week to get to know the University and your fellow students. There they give you all information about how to register, study and live in Norway. The courses were interesting and if you are eager to learn a new language and get to know a Northern culture, you can quickly find new friends which show you the best spots of their country.Unfortunately Norway is quite expensive, so try to save some money to do some trips to the beautiful fjords and mountains that this country has to offer. ”

STRATHCLYDE

Stella, 21International Business Student

Glasgow is the largest Scottish city and for sure the one with the most pubs, clubs and live music. Walking along Buchanan Road in its center means listening to live singers on the street all along its way, carrying an umbrel-la to be protected from the rain – yes, it does rain a lot – and watching people of very diverse types going in and out of the shops. The University of Strathclyde is right in the city and the Business School holds the rarely awarded triple accreditation. It is well-equipped with a big library and mod-ern technology. Both student help desks and contact persons are happy to help with any issues. For a first visit to Scotland’s beautiful nature, I recom-mend going to Loch (lake) Lomond. Even more impressive are the highlands close to Glencoe with their rough mountains and colorful valleys. ”

TWENTE

Joe, 21Creative Technology Student

The relaxed atmosphere and the hands-on approach in my studies are the aspects I enjoy the most. It’s learning by doing and not just studying from books. Most teachers know me by name and I can always drop by their office if I have any questions. The campus offers everything you can imagine, from a hairdresser over a super market, a bar and douzens of sport fields. You can participate in so many different sport and cultural associations that it is really hard to decide which one to join. Across the whole campus you have super fast wifi so you can enjoy the sun while studying. I have been here for more than a year now and I am very happy I made the decision to come and study at the UT.”

JOINT EUROPEAN MASTER

ABOUTThe Erasmus Mundus Joint European Master in Environ-mental Studies - Cities & Sustainability (JEMES CiSu) is a unique 2-year programme offered jointly by the Insti-tute of Environmental Technology and Energy Econom-ics and Institute of Wastewater Management and Water Protection (Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg, TUHH); the Department of Development & Planning (Aalborg University, AAU); the Institut de Ciència i Tec-nologia Ambiental (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, UAB); and the Department of Environment and Plan-ning (Universidade de Aveiro, UA).

Sustainable development is embraced as development that meets the present generation’s needs without com-promising future generations’ abilities to meet their own needs. These needs are predominantly to be met in cit-ies. Cities are places where people agglomerate to seek opportunities for better lives. Economically, cities are engines of development and cradles of economic growth that are necessary to sustain the prosperity of society and create job opportunities, not least for the urban poor. Cities are also centres for political and cultural manifes-tations that are key to forming nations and their identity. At the same time, cities by definition are consumers and if poorly managed, can be responsible for ruthless use of resources and impact on the environment from disposal of wastes and from industrial and domestic activities.

YOUR BENEFITSBy bringing scholars and students from all over the world together in a rich and challenging international study programme with tailor made pathways, real-world expe-rience and profound research knowledge, JEMES CiSu trains prospective European and Overseas environmen-tal specialists whose sound education in innovative tech-nologies and management strategies will enable them to treat environmental problems from an interdisciplinary point of view.

Training considers the needs in developing as well as in industrialised countries. Graduates will successfully han-dle all major aspects of their professional field and have an extensive overview of new developments and future trends in the area. Graduates will enjoy privileged access to prominent enterprises and institutions in the in public and private sector worldwide.

Graduates enter the international employment market working:

• with enterprises dealing with high end technological products and services

• as consultants making technology assessment and innovation

• with governmental institutes dealing with innovation policy and strategy

• with relevant research and higher education institu-tions

A unique social and learning experience with an inherent change of perspective that will give you the leading edge in the employment Market.

• Increased research capability focused on activities at the periphery of the innovation process.

PROGRAMME STRUCTUREAll students take a common first year at the University of Strathclyde, then either deepen study at Hamburg or Swinburne, or apply skills and knowledge in an indus-trial internship at Aalborg. The programme is delivered in English and intended for excellent graduates of first degrees in Engineering, Science and Technology.Please note that the Swinburne option is only available to students from EU countries and self-funded (non-schol-arship) students.

CURRICULUM OVERVIEWSemesters 1 and 2 at The University of Strathclyde pro-vide a strong foundation in the Innovation Management process, and essential practical experience of working within globally distributed teams and with industrial cli-ents on product/service development briefs.

Semester 3 (Year 2) at Hamburg University of Technolo-gy looks at early and late phases of the innovation man-agement process. It concentrates on market research for (radical) innovation, cross functional cooperation at the front end of the innovation process, managing innova-tion projects over geographical and functional/divisional boarders and preparing the market introduction of new products and services.

In semester 3 (Year 2) at Aalborg University, students undertake an industrial internship at a Danish company to gain relevant global innovation management work ex-perience, and to consolidate the taught content delivered at the University of Strathclyde. Each internship will be designated to best reflect student’s interests within the available placements from a secured list of Danish com-panies.

In semester 4 all students undertake a thesis project at the institution where they spent the 3rd semester. The project is jointly supervised between the second year in-stitution and one other partner.WMore information on www.globalinnovationmanagement.org
