Introduction to the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree PANGEA

The Pangea (PAleoNtology GEoheritage & Applications) programme is the first and unique Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree in Palaeontology. Our consortium is composed of 4 European institutions: the University of Lille in France, Uppsala University in Sweden, the University of Minho in Portugal, and the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens in Greece.

Programme Structure

Pangea is a 2-year, 120 ECTS study programme spread over the four European universities of our consortium. After a first term of background strengthening, students have the opportunity to specialise according to three professional profiles:

• Research in palaeobiology

• Geoheritage-geoconservation (science communication, networking, management) The fourth term is fully dedicated to the Master thesis and, or internship.

Degree and Mobility

Upon completion of 120 ECTS in at least two of the four Partners, students receive multiple degrees, delivered by each Partner University he/she has studied at.
