The European Master's Programme in Human Rights and Democratisation (E.MA) has seen an 11 % increase in applications over last year. <<The most significant increase refers to applications from non-EU countries, scoring a +40%>> said Prof. Fabrizio Marrella, E.MA Programme Director. The final list of admitted students was decided by the E.MA Executive Committee and only shortlisted candidates are being contacted in May 2009. <<It's unfortunate because you see that there are so many qualified applicants, but you can only accept a certain amount. The competition is very high and I expect that interest in the E.MA Programme will continue to grow around the world>> concluded Prof. Marrella.

Joint Platform for the Regional Masters in Human Rights and Democratisation
The Joint Platform for the Regional Masters in Human Rights and Democratisation (www.regionalmasters.org) is a common website for the five regional masters in human rights and democratisation funded by the European Union, under the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR). The E.MA is the oldest Master’s programme supported by the European Union. Its success has given rise to the development of additional regional human rights master’s programmes. Being generally modelled on the E.MA, the regional master’s programmes have many core features in common and there is considerable co-operation between them, including exchange of staff and students, joint publications and conferences.
