European Master’s Degree
in Human Rights and Democratisation2009/2010
Call for applications

One-year full time European Master:

•  1st semester in Venice,
• 2nd semester in one of the 41 participating universities

E.MA is open to EU and non-EU citizens. Applicants are required to hold a university degree of a high standard and must have 240 ECTS credits (with a 180 ECTS minimum university title/degree), normally in a field relevant to human rights, including disciplines in law, social sciences, and the humanities. The additional 60 ECTS credits will normally be obtained through regular university studies but can in exceptional circumstances also be obtained through documented prior learning components that are related to the E.MA curriculum and include a minimum structure of: a) independent project research and/or b) supervised academic learning.

The applicant has to carry a workload approximately equivalent to one academic year. The decision whether the applicant meets the 240 ECTS credits will be taken on a case by case basis by the Executive Committee.
Applicants completing the degree entry requirements subsequently to the application deadline are requested to provide a current transcript of exams.

All selected candidates who hold a non-EU degree are required to produce upon admission a “declaration of value“ of their degree. Non-EU candidates are moreover required to obtain a study visa which must cover the entire duration of the academic year (September 2009 - September 2010). Both the study visa and the “declaration of value“ are preconditions for enrolment and should be requested from the competent Italian Embassy.
English and French are the official working languages of the E.MA programme. Fluency in English is an admission requirement to the programme. While not a prerequisite, the ability to understand lectures and read academic texts in French is a definite advantage.

Practical experience in the area of human rights in inter-governmental, governmental, or non-governmental organisations is helpful.

The criteria used during the selection process are: academic ability and background, experience, motivation, and language competence.

Deadline for application 20.03.2009.

Candidates for admission should send two completed application forms and supporting documentation to the EIUC Secretariat in Venice by 20 March 2009 (date of receipt of the application materials).
