Migration and human mobility will shape our collective futures. This nine-month interdisciplinary master’s degree positions these movements within broader social-economic and political transformations. These include – among others – border politics and security; inequality and livelihoods; urbanisation and deindustrialisation; activism and policy making. Drawing on theoretical and methodological innovations from across the social sciences, it provides the conceptual and methodological foundations for scholars and practitioners working in migration and development related fields.
