Study Program of Electrical Engineering Department UPH in Cooperation with the Consortium Erasmus Mundus LEADERS Opens 2nd Batch for Scholarship Opportunities

Study program (Prodi) of Electrical Engineering UPH are in collaboration with a consortium of 22 universities from the European Union and Asia in the project Erasmus Mundus entitled LEADERS (Leading mobility between Europe and Asia in Developing Engineering education & research), re-open scholarship opportunities for undergraduate students (exchange students), master (exchange student), doctoral (Ph.D.) (exchange student) and the exchange of staff.

Since the launch of the partnership between Prodi of Electrical Engineering UPH with 22 university partners in the project Erasmus Mundus, in July 2014, UPH has and will send lecturers of Electrical Engineering UPH to pursue graduate study and do research stay at universities partner in the European Union, as well as be the host for the visit of researchers from partner universities with funding from the European Union. In the first batch, the doctoral scholarship program was obtained by Endrowednes Kuantama, M. Eng., Professor of Electrical Engineering UPH, which had been dispatched in August 2015 to the University of Oradea in Romania to begin S3 education in the field of robotics. Faculty exchange programs between partner universities have also been scheduled, namely, Dr. Henri P. Uranus, professor of Electrical Engineering UPH, will depart for the City University of London in the spring of 2016 while Dr. Ian Grout, professor of Electrical Engineering Limerick University, Ireland will visit UPH for 2 months in 2016.
