A number of graduates are also involved in human rights-related activities with their Ministries of Foreign Affairs or are seconded by them to work for international institutions. Some graduates pursue further academic study and research and a some have become the representatives of EMA participating universities.

The Global Campus itself has facilitated the entry of its graduates into the human rights job market through the EMA Internship Programme.

EMA Internship ProgrammeEvery year the EMA programme, with the support of the European Union, offers a paid internship in the field of human rights to the 15 graduates who achieved the highest results during their academic year. These internships in inter-governmental, governmental and non-governmental organisations give the selected graduates an opportunity to immediately put into practice the knowledge acquired during the course.
