Step-by-Step to EMJM: How to choose the right programme for YOU

So, you’ve opened the EMJM catalogue and found a bunch of exciting programmes. Now what?

Here’s how to narrow them down:

1. Filter by your field of study
Use keywords like engineering, economics, environment, media, and others to refine your search and focus on the most relevant programmes.

2. Check the universities and countries involved
Each EMJM includes at least 2–3 partner universities. Ask yourself:

• Where would you like to study and live?

• Are these universities strong in your chosen field?

• Does the programme align with your academic and personal goals?

3. Look at the curriculum
Every EMJM is different. Some are more research-oriented, others are practical. Review the course modules and thesis requirements to see if the structure suits your learning style and objectives.

4. Check the application timeline and requirements
Deadlines vary by programme. Create a shortlist of your top choices and monitor the following details:

• Application opening date

• Submission deadline

• Required documents

5. Think about your career goals
Does the programme help you gain specialized knowledge?
Will it prepare you for a PhD?
Does it offer skills that are valuable on the international job market?

Bonus tip:
Create a spreadsheet to keep track of the programmes you’re interested in. Include the programme name, website link, deadlines, required documents, and contact details. Staying organized will help you manage your applications more efficiently.
