Course summary

The Masters in Migrations & Social Justice will introduce you to the study of global migration, including migration processes and the social, political and economic consequences of migration. Unique in Scotland, it addresses questions such as who moves and why, who is allowed to settle and where, what are the roles of states, institutions and civil societies in these processes. We look at migration from a social justice perspective, and the MSc offers an opportunity to critically engage with issues of inequality, power, citizenship, human rights, welfare and solidarity. The University of Glasgow has been awarded University of Sanctuary status in recognition of its commitment to supporting people who have experienced forced migration, including facilitating access to higher education for refugee communities. The MSc combines social theory with research methods and tools and enables you to develop applied knowledge in the field. It brings together cutting-edge academic research on migration with an emphasis on social justice and learning from non-academic work in this area. We have strong links with the Glasgow Refugee, Asylum and Migration Network (GRAMNet). GRAMnet is an internationally recognised research network based at the University of Glasgow that brings together researchers and practitioners, NGOs and policy makers working with migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in Scotland and beyond. You will benefit from access to the GRAMNet-related activities such as seminars, film series, community organised events and find out about opportunities for knowledge exchange. We have strong links with voluntary and public sector organisations in Scotland and beyond through GRAMNet as well as through staff and alumni’s professional links. You may also be able to pursue opportunities to apply for relevant work-based internships through the University of Glasgow’s Internship Hub. The Masters draws on a wealth of staff expertise on migration that covers a broad thematic and geographical spectrum. Our academic staff have a background in sociology and the related disciplines of anthropology, criminology, human geography and politics. Our innovative learning and teaching approaches include in and out of classroom learning, physically and virtually, along with assessment methods with practical options for collaborative and arts-based dissertation projects. Sociology at Glasgow is ranked 4th in the UK by the Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide 2025 and 4th in the UK by the Complete University Guide 2025.Career prospectsThis programme will equip you to apply your learning to a wide range of employment opportunities locally, nationally and internationally.Career opportunities and pathwaysThis programme provides a strong foundation for establishing or continuing a successful career in civil society, the public sector, government, or social research – including doctoral research.
