EMMaH – one international Master's degree course taught at three universities of applied sciences in three European countries.
Hamburg, Germany: University of Applied Sciences Faculty of Life Sciences
Lille, France: Université de Lille - Faculté Ingénierie et Management de la Santé
Porto, Portugal: Instituto Polytecnico do Porto-Escola Superior de Tecnologia da Saúde do Porto
In 2021, the steering committee decided to include a new partner to the EMMaH programme: Taipei Medical University in Taiwan (TMU) ; based on the already existing cooperation between TMU and ULille. A new cooperation agreement is currently being signed.
EMMaH is a joint and multidisciplinary master program held by four higher education institutions. EMMaH was created in 2015 by the three original funders (ULille, IPP Porto and HAW Hamburg) and enlarged with TMU Taipei in 2021. EMMaH was granted the prestigious ERASMUS MUNDUS Label in 2022 and the very first Mundus Cohort started in September 2023.
You will find all the information about EMMaH Erasmus Mundus and how to apply on the website https://master-emmah.eu/
No lectures are held at HAW Hamburg during the summer semester.
