MA Migration, Society and Policy at Middlesex University

With migration regularly at the top of the European and global agenda, the need for skilled professionals who can make sense of the raw data, grasp complex policy systems and assess their impact on contemporary societies is more apparent than ever.

This masters degree offers a contemporary and interdisciplinary focus on migration and related socio-political and policy issues, combining theoretical, methodological and practice-oriented training relevant to a number of career routes in academia, policymaking, the public sector, the community sector and NGOs.

It features a wide range of study options from disciplines such as Law, Politics and Sociology, as well as incorporating opportunities to undertake field trips, placements and internships, both locally and internationally.

This programme benefits from the contribution of internationally renowned experts, who operate within prominent global networks of researchers and practitioners. Middlesex University is the only London-based member of IMISCOE, the largest European network of researchers on migration and integration.
