Course summary
About the course
This interdisciplinary nine-month master’s degree analyses global migration and mobility together with broader processes of social and political transformation. Drawing on innovative theoretical and methodological perspectives from across the social sciences, it offers an intellectually demanding route to understanding cultural, economic and political dimensions of migration in settings from labour relations to development programming and border politics.
Course objectives
The degree provides a broad, theoretical understanding of human mobility and the role of both internal and international migration in economic and political processes, social change and globalisation. Engaging critically with the politics of movement in today’s world, it prepares you for doctoral study or for careers in government, international organisations, or civil society. It also gives an overview of the major debates and literatures on contemporary migration. You will have the opportunity to plan, organise and carry out independent research and to gain the skills necessary to convey theoretical knowledge of migration to a variety of different audiences.
Successful students will leave with the critical analytical and research skills needed to contribute new perspectives to the study of migration in and beyond academia. With a strong focus on migration and mobility across world regions, you will gain insight into migration’s close connection to global systems of trade, labour, politics, and power. A strong focus on the politics of knowledge production will provide additional insights for your position in reshaping local and international debates over human movement.
