Successful completion of the COSI Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree will result in the award of multiple Master’s degrees (i.e. 4 national diplomas issued by 4 higher education institutions from 4 European countries and fully recognized in these respective countries). In line with the Bologna Accords, those degrees benefit from a wide recognition in Europe and beyond.
According to the concentration which has been chosen by the graduate, the consortium will deliver either multiple diplomas from:
- NTNU, UJM (specialisation in Colour image modelling and understanding) and NTNU (specialisation in Colour and visual computing)
- OR NTNU, UJM (specialisation in Colour image modelling and understanding), UEF (specialisation in Spectral Imaging)
- OR NTNU, UGR (specialisation in Photonics, image and vision) and NTNU (specialisation in Colour and visual computing)
- OR NTNU, UGR (specialisation in Photonics, image and vision) and UEF (specialisation in Spectral Imaging).
