The list of associated partner universities can be found in the section Associated Partners.

Internships

Internships are not an obligatory part of the EMTM program but students are highly encouraged to undertake training during a summer break or while writing their master thesis.

Students should show their own initiative in looking for internships either through university offices or via other bodies such as EMA or AIESEC.
