EMSE Vision & Values \\ Our vision is to be the most knowledgeable 2-year 120 ECTS MSc program in Europe that awards a degree in Software Engineering and preparing world-class students for both a research and a professional career in Software Engineering \\ EMSE promotes equal opportunities and will not discriminate against students in any way on the basis of gender, age, ethnic, national or social origin, religion or belief, sexual orientation, language, disability, political opinion, social or economic condition.\\ Gender balance and disadvantaged applicants are taken as preference in case of equal ranking aiming for a representative gender balance and disadvantage applicants according to the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers All the partners have adhered to the European Charter of Researchers that guarantees equal treatment among students also at the examination stages. Few simple rules are adopted to monitor students’ performance and advice students on how to best complete their studies. Rules are based on ex ante of feedback and self-evaluation so that students are aware of the success of their study. At each partner university, students receive a Mentor that guides them through study choices (including the optional period in the associate academic partners), recognition of exams, and final defence (at the Second University). * {{emse:student_handbook_2011.pdf|Student Handbook}}
