MSc Migration Studies: Policy and Practice blends academic research with real-world practice, equipping you to critically analyse migration issues and their governance from a multidisciplinary perspective. Through expert-led workshops and practical case studies, you'll gain the knowledge and skills needed to support migrant and diaspora communities globally and advocate for a just and inclusive future.
Throughout the course you will develop a comprehensive understanding of the techniques and research methods applicable to research work on international migration and diaspora communities. You will also develop a critical awareness and understanding of the current knowledge, theory and evidence-based practice relevant to the field of migration, 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. On completion of this course you will be able to evaluate migration policy formulation and interventions, while effectively communicating the implications and practical applications of your research.
You will also be able to demonstrate a critical awareness of the lived experiences of migrants in society, the social construction of their identities, and their agency. Your learning will support the development of a systematic and critical understanding of processes through which policies impacting migrant, minority and diasporic communities are formulated, implemented, developed and evaluated.
