About this degree
This is an academic programme informed by policy debates relating to migration. Students are equipped with advanced analytical skills and research methods. They acquire an understanding of the key concepts essential for the study of global migration and gain the opportunity to apply them in both general and more specialised contexts relating to the processes, policies, poetics and politics of migration.
Who this course is for
While aimed at recent graduates from a range of disciplines (including human geography, political science, sociology, anthropology, economics, and cultural and area studies) who intend to progress to PhD research or develop a career in migration, the programme will also appeal to professionals (with a relevant academic background) wishing to reflect on developments in this field.
What this course will give you
At UCL, cutting-edge research on migration takes place across many different disciplines including: anthropology, area studies, demography, development planning, economics, education, epidemiology, geography, global and public health, the humanities, law, psychology, politics and public policy and sociology. The involvement of such a wide range of disciplines crossing life sciences, social science and the arts is part of what makes the MSc Global Migration programme so special.
UCL has internationally recognised expertise in migration studies. It has two established research units: the Migration Research Unit and the Centre for Research on Economic Analysis of Migration. Students benefit from access to these and from a range of associated seminars and reading groups. UCL's migration research covers the globe with projects on migration from Mexico to China and from Senegal to Russia. The programme is also embedded in migration networks here in London, one of the world's superdiverse cities.
Global Migration is a friendly and supportive programme with excellent access to academics. All staff are available for consultation in Academic Support and Feedback Hours. Students have the opportunity to work with academics on current research and in UCL campaigns and networks such as Refuge in A Moving World, which can connect them to a range of professional networks.
The programme is made up of a small, but international student body, which enables engaged debates in a trusting environment drawing on diverse experiences. The Migration Research Unit publishes students' dissertation research in the Working Papers series..
