The EMA programme is much more than a Master - it is an ‘immersive’ experience in the world of human rights - in which you see, talk and breath rights, diversity and culture in a very powerful way.

The field trip to Kosovo was a great experience since it gave us the opportunity to meet a wide range of professionals working there. It was a great experience to stay with a local family and hearing their views on present, past and future and how they saw the involvement of the international community.

The first lectures from high-level professionals, from these, that you read about, sign books, guidelines and reports that you devour, the ones that contribute to policies are in the public domain. Suddenly they are there, all the way to Venice, in front of you, sharing, human, life and alive.

The possibility of spending the second semester in a university that focuses on the thesis topic is great because it allows the students to dive deeply into their topics under high-quality supervision.
