Admissions to the European Master’s Programme in Human Rights and Democratisation for the academic year 2022/2023 are now open! Deadlines for applications: Non-EU and scholarship applicants: 14 February 2022, while EU and self-funded applicants: 14 April 2022.

The European Master’s Programme in Human Rights and Democratisation (EMA) is organised by the Global Campus of Human Rights, a worldwide network of universities seeking to advance human rights and democracy education. EMA was founded in collaboration with 42 universities from all EU member countries, as well as the UK and Switzerland. It is a one-year course that provides a practice and policy-oriented approach to learning that combines legal, political, historical, anthropological, and philosophical perspectives of Human Rights and Democratisation with skill-building activities and a field trip exercise. Students are taught by leading academics representing EMA participating universities, experts, and representatives of international organisations and NGOs while studying in a multicultural environment. The curriculum prepares participants for working in national, international, governmental, inter-governmental, and non-governmental organisations as well as research institutions dealing with human rights and democratisation.

EMA is a residential as well as an exchange program. The first semester, from mid-September 2022 to 31 January 2023, is held at the Global Campus of Human Rights in Venice, and the second semester, from 1 February to July 2023, is held at one of the 42 participating universities spread across the EU, as well as the UK and Switzerland.
