EMA is a one-year, full-time interdisciplinary programme that reflects the indivisible links between human rights, democracy, peace, and development. The programme offers an action- and policy-oriented approach to studying human rights and democratisation as well as offering an interdisciplinary approach to the intellectual and normative frameworks that underpin human rights and democratisation such as law, international relations, philosophy, history and anthropology. While studying in a multicultural environment, students have the opportunity to be taught by leading academics representing the 43 EMA participating universities, representatives of international organisations (including the European Union, the United Nations and the Council of Europe), experts, activists and human rights defenders from civil society. |
