Welcome to MEME

Mobility European Master Programme in Evolutionary Biology

 

MEME (Mobility European Master Programme in Evolutionary Biology) is a two-year research-oriented master programme for talented and motivated students who are interested in understanding evolution in all its facets. It is a joint project between four European universities (University of Groningen, Netherlands; Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich, Germany; Uppsala University, Sweden; University of Montpellier, France) as partners and Harvard University (USA) and University of Lausanne (Switzerland) as associated partners. Students start their studies with a semester in either Groningen or Uppsala, and then move to either Montpellier or Munich for their second semester. In the third and fourth semesters, students can choose the partner university at which to carry out their individual research projects. Upon completion of the programme, students are awarded a double degree from two partner universities.

Four European universities have joined forces with Harvard University (USA) and University of Lausanne as an associated partners. MEME offers students the opportunity to compose an individual study programme in evolutionary biology by combining elements from the complementary programmes at the partner universities.
