EMTM is recognized by the European Commission for its academic excellence and is included in the list of Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees under the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.

Since all Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees must involve studies at a minimum of 2 institutions, EMTM students follow an obligatory mobility path at 3 universities. The first semester is spent at University of Southern Denmark followed by a second semester at University of Ljubljana in Slovenia and a third semester at University of Girona in Catalonia, Spain. The fourth and last semester is dedicated exclusively to writing the master thesis.

Carefully selected candidates from around the globe form a class of approximately 30 students every year, ensuring a highly motivating study environment, an array of perspectives and a unique multicultural experience. EMTM graduates hold a joint Master of Science (MSc) issued by all 3 institutions involved in the program.
