International Masters programme was initiated by the German Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg in 2009, in cooperation with Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary. The Hungarian coordinator of the EMLex programme is Dr. Zita Dötschné Hollós (Department of German Language and Literature, Faculty of Humanities). There is one South-African and seven European participating universities involved in the above mentioned programme:
– Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (initiator) (Germany)
– Université de Lorraine (Nancy) (France)
– Károli Gáspár University in the Reformed Church in Hungary (Budapest, Hungary)
– Universidade Santiagio de Compostela (Spain)
– Universidade do Minho (Braga,Portugal)
– Uniwersytet Śląski w Katowicach (Katowice, Poland)
– Università degli Studi Roma Tre (Italy)
– University of Stellenbosch (South Africa)
The participating students complete the local modules at their home universities, while the core modules of the 2nd semester are always studied at another participant university. This year the Faculty of Humanities of the Károli Gáspár University hosted the joint spring semester. During this semester 22 students and professors from nine different countries stayed at our university in the framework of the international EMLex programme.
The mobility of the students was regulated by bilateral Erasmus contracts between 2009 and 2016. In 2009 the EMLex consortium won a competition providing financial support of more than 2 million euro in the framework of the Erasmus+ Mundus Joint Master Degree programme, so the class of 2016 could conduct their studies in the form of a joint degree.
