The Institute serves to maintain quality in graduate education by adapting universally accepted academic principles and criteria. The aim of graduate studies at EMU is to equip the students with a high level academic background as well as necessary skills to be competent in the academic world, industry or the service sector. Graduate studies at EMU are founded on academic freedom and ethical conduct. Our mission is to raise graduates who can follow new developments and trends in their area of specialization, true academicians with developed research, and communication skills capable of contributing to the society in several different ways. The faculty members have a wide range of Faculty Research Interests that allow practice of interdisciplinary research besides classical research areas. More than 2000 master's and Ph.D. holders from EMU have been employed in the academia, public and private sector.
