Introduction
Japan-Europe Master on Advanced Robotics (JEMARO)
The Joint Master's program JEMARO has been successfully selected under the Erasmus Mundus Programmes of Excellence.
JEMARO is implemented and fully supported by 4 major Higher Education Institutions:
- Ecole Centrale de Nantes, (ECN - Coordinator), France
- Keio University (Coordinator), Japan
- University of Genoa (UniGe, partner institution), Italy
- Warsaw University of Technology (WUT, partner institution), Poland
JEMARO is designed to promote a high-quality educational offer in the area of advanced and intelligent robotics. By mastering Mathematical Modeling, Control Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Design, students are able to deal with robotic systems as a whole.
Through lectures by reputable researchers, practical work on the latest experimental platforms, sessions with industrial specialists, annual workshops, JEMARO students acquire the most advanced knowledge that will prepare them for the upcoming challenges in robotics, more specifically in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
The language of instruction is English across the two years.

Program Outcome
Although the JEMARO program is primarily concerned with the context of robotic systems, the concepts covered can be applied to a much wider range of other engineering and economic systems. The career prospects for JEMARO graduates are therefore excellent. They can be employed in various industrial and economic sectors, as the courses are adapted to today's high-tech society.
At the end of JEMARO, the student will have acquired the following skills:
- In-depth scientific and technical knowledge of robotics and related AI topics, as well as the skills necessary to use this knowledge effectively.
- Ability to master modern techniques for developing and designing innovative and autonomous robotic systems such as modeling, simulation, optimization, analysis, decision-making and control.
- Ability to work independently and in multidisciplinary teams, interacting effectively with specialists and taking initiative where necessary.
- Ability to communicate effectively (through written and oral presentations) in an international context,
- Ability to adopt the methods most suited to the problem posed and to select the technological components necessary for the implementation of the proposed solution.
- Ability to transfer high-tech methodologies from academia to industry.
Scholarships and Funding
No Erasmus Mundus scholarships available for the 2024-2026 Intake
Scholarship
There is no specific application form to fill out to obtain a Consortium Scholarship, an applicant who submitted by the deadline their application will be considered for it.
Consortium scholarships are limited in number and are automatically awarded to the best ranked students of the selection round. They act as partial tuition fee waiver, meaning that when received, the students' overall tuition fees are lowered (i.e. a Brazilian student's tuition fees would be lowered down to €13,000 if this student received a €5,000 Consortium Scholarship).
For the 2024-2026 intake, there will be two application rounds, one from October 2023 to January 31st 2024 and one from February 1st to May 1st 2024. The first application round will have priority in the award of consortium scholarships, meaning that if the students accept all the scholarships awarded then, there will be none left for the second application round. If some Consortium Scholarships are not accepted during the first application round, they may be offered to the top applicants of the second application round.
| Total tuition fees | Possible amount of scholarship awarded | |
| Partner Country | €18,000 | €9,000 / €5,000 |
| Programme Country | €9,000 | €5,000 / €3,000 |
