Course Overview

Our MSc Migration Studies: Policy and Practice course offers you the opportunity to develop your skills and capabilities in professional practice or policymaking focused on issues of migration and working with migrant populations. You will gain a range of skill sets to work with diverse migrant and minority populations, or to obtain employment with specialist agencies who support migrant and minority communities. Throughout the course, you will develop a comprehensive understanding of techniques and research methods applicable to research or advanced scholarship on international migration and diaspora communities. You will also develop a critical awareness and systematic understanding of the current knowledge, theory, and evidence-based practice relevant to the field of migration studies, as well as current areas of scholarly interest and policy relevance. Close attention is paid to ethical perspectives and social justice considerations throughout the course. Our course at Bucks uniquely embeds deep knowledge of Roma and other Traveller communities into the curricula, informed by many years of working with well-established community networks. This specialist knowledge will enable you to gain a comprehensive understanding of the transnational Roma community experience, pre, and post-migration, whilst you learn from academics, which include lecturers from the Roma communities who are themselves, migrants. Our course is also unique because the design of our dissertation allows you to explore non-traditional approaches in a range of fields, including innovative opportunities to produce performances, texts, visual arts, and more.
