Hello,

Is there anyone here who is considering undertaking the EMA programme in Venice in September 2020? I am currently holding an offer although I am quite hesitant given the current situation in Italy and Europe, and the inevitable fact that I will have to pay the first instalment in advance, so it is a big commitment given the unpredictable situation! I can't imagine many people will be accepting offers just yet, although the programme sounds fantastic from what I have heard. Those in the same situation, what are you planning to do?

I personally accepted the offer, since one can gain so much from the programme. 
Worst case scenario, couple of months of the first semester will be taught online, which I know is not ideal, but on the other hand, staying at home one has more time to focus on the projects. (which from I've heard are super demanding). 
Also, at the end of the day by September 2021 you'll have a masters degree no matter what. 
Finally, you can accept the offer and pay the first instalment and if there is an inability to participate due to the covid 19 outbreak, they will return you the full amount. 

Hello! I’m also undertaking this master! Do you want to form a group on Facebook to talk about accommodation etc? It would be nice! :)
