**************************************************************************************** From: Benjamin van Wyk de Vries <B.vanwyk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> **************************************************************************************** International Master in Magmas and Volcanoes: 'Magmas et Volcans' Laboratoire Magmas et Volcans Department of Earth Sciences Université Blaise Pascal FRANCE The Laboratoire Magmas et Volcans, Clermont-Ferrand France, is pleased to announce a list of research subjects proposed for next years 2009/2010 MASTER 2. Any excellent, dynamic student with a good first degree may consider applying to the Master 2. We have a broad international profile with students from all continents. French is the main language, but we encourage english language and spanish is spoken. The 1st semester is a seminar based set of seminar-courses and an extended field trip to the Alps and Active Italian volcanoes. The second semester is a 6 month research project. We have a very high (+80%) success rate for our graduates entering research careers. Note FEES are low, less than 500€, as the programme is government supported and cost of living is also low (about 700€ a month living expenses, accommodation, food and social activities is a good estimate).
