EuroMISE

European Master in Information Systems Engineering

EuroMISE is a Master degree study in Information Systems Engineering (ISE) and is shared among selected European universities. The entrance requirement of the EuroMISE study program is a 3-year pre-qualifier with specified knowledge contents. The pre-qualifier may either come as a bachelor degree, or may consist of the first three years of a 5-year integrated master study.

The participating universities acknowledge each others study programs with respect to a guaranteed knowledge profile, in coverage (breadth) as well as in quality (depth). Students who are enrolled in one of the participating universities (the home university) are permitted to have courses of up to one full year of studies at one of the participating universities (the visited university) to be included in the study program at their home university. Students are supposed to stay with their visited university for a minimum of one semester.

Students will be granted the appropriate master degree of their home university. In a diploma supplement will be specified that they have followed the EuroMISE study program. All of the participating universities offer an elective study program named EuroMISE or similar in their study catalogue.

All of the participating universities have bilateral agreements on student exchange under the Erasmus student exchange program. EuroMISE students will visit one of the participating universities under the Erasmus agreement.

The participating universities are, as of spring 2009:

The study theme

Today's organizations are vitally dependent on their information systems, and the high demands placed on these systems require skilled technical specialists. Information Systems Engineering graduates are experts and can be found at all stages of a distributed information system's lifecycle (requirement analysis, architecture design, realization and maintenance). The information systems of today's organizations manage large volumes of internal information, including structured data, multimedia data or geographic information. These systems encompass workflow, groupware and e-business processes and are often distributed across organizational units and physical locations. Information system engineers are able to combine and configure basic software components, such as database management systems, transaction processing monitors, workflow management systems and middleware. In short, they know how to define a system on which an organization can truly depend without giving rise to any vulnerability.

Student exchange arrangements

The EuroMISE study program provides an educational framework that guarantees the overall quality of a shared European MSc in ISE. The educational set-up provides for organized student exchange within a network of European Universities. In Europe there is already a widespread student exchange among universities within the framework of the Erasmus program. The proposed MSc in ISE is an extension of the current exchange arrangements.
