MA Migration Studies

Our Master's degree in Migration Studies will introduce you to the main challenges and opportunities associated with the advent of new migration and super-diversity and equip you with the skills and knowledge you will need to address those challenges.

As a result of globalization, many countries have entered an era of super-diversity with societies more diverse in terms of ethnicity, and immigration status, than ever before. The major policy issue is not whether we should be tough on migration, but how we can better integrate new migrants and long-established communities into their chosen societies to promote social solidarity and inclusion.

Our Master's degree in Migration Studies will examine the social, economic, and political impacts of international migration and examine current, proposed, and ideal approaches to welfare provision in the era of super-diversity. Migration Studies is unique in bringing together theory and practice with cutting-edge research and research methods to enable you to develop applied knowledge in a rapidly evolving field. It will explore data to help map super diverse populations and examine the rights and entitlements of migrants in different societies. In the Migration Studies course, you can apply for a work-based internship in a migration-related organization, as part of the optional Migration and Superdiversity Placement module.

For entry onto this programme you will normally have an undergraduate degree of at least a 2:1. Applicants with a 2:2 degree classification will be considered on a case by case basis, if you have extensive related work experience.

20 Hours of Work permit weekly for international students.
