The Master's Degree Course in Migration Studies and New Societies, entirely in English and structured in the form of a of the Joint Degree, is conducted in cooperation with the Universities of Warsaw and Prague (Charles). It is part of the training activities proposed in the framework of the 4EU+ European University Alliance and provides, in compliance with the requirement for Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM), that students acquire at least 30 ECTS (corresponding to one semester) at each partner university (first in Milan, then in Warsaw and finally in Prague, and then decide where to spend the last semester).


The final objectives of Migration Studies and New Societies is to provide students with an in-depth understanding of social and political opportunities and challenges posed by global and intra-EU migration and to enable them to acquire competences and analytical tools for interpreting complex political or socio-economic phenomena in a critical way and for appraising their normative, social, political and anthropological implications.


On the basis of the knowledge acquired during the training course, the graduated students will be therefore able (i) to contribute to the actions of international and national governmental and non-governmental organisations and bodies, (ii) to handle tasks and functions concerning the management of migration flows and the integration of migrants, with particular expertise in the European scenario (thus, in full coherence with the objectives of the degree in European Studies).


Accordingly, the programme supports the acquisition of methodological tools for examining empirical phenomena, for explaining their dynamics, and for anticipating their evolution as well as the reinforcement of logic and argumentative skills.


The interaction between lecturers and students coming from different European countries aims at fostering educational learning pathways based on dialogue between subjects with different nationality, experience and background.


The teaching activities of the Master's Degree in Migration Studies and New Societies are mainly organised in seminars and they are designed to follow a student-centered approach, by using innovative teaching methods (e.g.: flipped classroom, laboratory teaching, clinics, case-studies, etc.), in full accordance with the guidelines issued by the "4 EU+ European University Alliance" programme.


At the end of their studies, the students will obtain a single diploma for the three universities, which will indicate, for each country, the degree class of reference (for the University of Milan LM-90 Studi europei, for the Charles University: Master's Degree in Social Sciences; for the University of Warsaw: Master's Degree in Artes Liberales).
