Global Campus South East Europe (GCSEE/ERMA)

ERMA is a one-year, full-time, interdisciplinary programme, aimed at the development of democracy and human rights in South East Europe. It is a joint initiative by the University of Sarajevo, Center for Interdisciplinary Studies, and the University of Bologna, Department of Political and Social Sciences. ERMA is co-financed by the European Union through the Global Campus of Human Rights and the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) with the support of the Embassy of the Republic of Italy to Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Programme awards students with 60 ECTS and a double-degree diploma of both founding universities. ERMA is intended for students who wish to combine studies with practical and field research experience in human rights and democratisation issues. Recognizing that human rights are a cross-cutting theme among different disciplines of study, such as political science, social sciences, law, sociology, and philosophy, the programme fosters a strong interdisciplinary approach. Enrolled students have the benefit of studying in an international environment together with colleagues from all over the region, European Union, and the rest of the world, attending lectures and workshops held by around 40 lecturers from 11 partner universities: University of Bologna, University of Sarajevo, University of Banja Luka, University of Belgrade, Karl Franzens University of Graz, University of the Ruhr, University of Peloponnese, University of Zagreb, New Bulgarian University, University Ss. Cyril and Methodius, and University of Prishtina. GCSEE/ERMA is a proud member of the Global Campus of Human Rights, a unique network of universities, seeking to advance human rights and democracy through regional and global cooperation.
