Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's Programme in Imaging

Tampere University

Be at the Forefront of Imaging Evolution!

Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's Programme in Imaging offers a comprehensive education in multi-dimensional image and video processing with a specific emphasis on image modelling, data-intensive Imaging, and visual Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Programme in Imaging (EMJM in Imaging) equips students with a strong theoretical foundation including linear algebra, optimization, statistics and machine learning and a deep understanding of visual data sensing, computational image formation, and visualization. The program focuses on data-intensive modalities such as thermal, multi- and hyper-spectral, 3D, and immersive imaging and harnesses AI tools for visual signal processing, preparing students to comprehend the capabilities and limitations of visual AI technologies.

Training the New Generation of Experts

This program is designed to train the new generation of experts in imaging, paving the way for innovative developments in various fields. It fully adheres to the Standards for Quality Assurance of the European Higher Education Area Joint Programmes. Students embark on a transformative educational journey across three distinguished universities: depending on the assigned track, they commence either at Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI), Italy or at Campus Sundsvall - Mid Sweden University (MIUN), Sweden for their foundational year, followed by a year at either Tampere University (TAU), Finland, or Campus Sundsvall - Mid Sweden University (MIUN), Sweden. The curriculum covers diverse aspects of image processing, computer vision, and telepresence applications, enabling students to contribute to sustainable social development, and engage with the global surge of novel imaging technologies, ranging from augmented and virtual reality to autonomous driving. Graduates will be ready to meet the burgeoning industry demand for experts in bio imaging, safety-critical imaging systems, and immersive visual media content creation.

Three Universities – Three Tracks

The program's strength lies in the collaborative efforts of three prominent universities: 

Tampere University

Politecnico di Milano

Mid Sweden University

Depending on the assigned track, admitted students start at either POLIMI or MIUN and spend their first year there, where they lay the groundwork for their expertise:

  • POLIMI and MIUN – "Visual AI” track,
  • POLIMI and TAU – “Image modelling and data-intensive imaging” track,
  • MIUN and TAU – "Immersive Imaging" track.

The next application period starts on 17 November 2025 and ends on 9 January 2026. The application portal and instructions on how to apply will be published on the program's home page.
