Dive into the realm of interdisciplinary exploration
Our century is marked by accelerated social changes, climate change, and increasing human mobility. The internationally recognized Master’s degree program International Migration and Global Social Change combines an interdisciplinary perspective—drawing from sociology, anthropology, human geography, and law—to train specialists with a comprehensive, integrative, and critical understanding of the global circulation of ideas, people, power, and capital.
Our Master’s program features an international team of professors with expertise in various world regions (Eastern Europe, Maghreb, South-Asia) and an interactive curriculum that involves critical perspectives and academic learning with field visits, hands-on training, and practical experience within different organizations as UNHCR, OIM and communities.
