Programme Overview
Discovery is EMA’s 2-week seminar series, running throughout the 12-week summer window with six start dates. Each seminar focuses on one topic: you join, study, and complete in two weeks. Each format has stated learning objectives and a structured approach. Expect a curated range of topics across global business fundamentals and sustainability-led decision-making, with one topic explored per two-week seminar you can sign up for as many as you wish.
Structure: 30 total hours (24 in-person + 6 online), ongoing assessment, and a Certificate of completion. Credit equivalents are provided for reference: 3 ECTS equivalent / 2 US credits equivalent.
Discovery is built for learners who want an accessible entry point into a higher-education setting. Whether you are taking a gap year after high school, maintaining academic momentum during the summer, exploring a new field in depth, or returning to study as a professional with limited time, we are happy to welcome you.
