EMA Venice Charter

 

 
 

The so called “Venice Charter” – i.e. the EMA Statute - was signed in 1997 in Venice by the representatives of the ten founding European universities of EMA. It is one of the first examples of joint degrees in the European academic environment in line with the Bologna process and the reform surrounding the ECTS system.

It outlines the aim and objectives of the Master’s Programme in promoting a culture of human rights through teaching and training; defines the rights and duties of the member universities and the composition and tasks of its governing bodies (EMA Council, EMA Executive Committee, EMA Academic Curriculum Group, etc.); it defines the programme’s two-semester structure and many other aspects, including the mobility programme, harmonisation of curricula and assessment.

EMA Joint Degree Agreement

 

 
 

At the initiative of the University of Padua, the coordinator of the EMA programme since 1997, the EMA degree became a true “joint degree”. It is one of the first examples of joint degrees in the European academic environment in line with the Bologna process and the reform surrounding the ECTS system.

The agreement defines the relationship among the seven universities which jointly grant the EMA Degree – the so-called Inner Circle Universities – and regulates the special role of the University of First Enrolment, i.e. the University of Padua.
