2022 European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations

Deadline: 14th January, 2022

About

 EMMIR is a multi-perspectival Erasmus Mundus Master Course in Migration and Intercultural Relations run by seven African and European Universities. The two-year joint degree programme is fully accredited and is characterized by a strong dimension of student mobility. Graduates will be qualified to pursue doctoral studies or employment with national and international governmental and non-governmental institutions.

Details

Erasmus+ EMMIR is the first African-European Erasmus Mundus Master Course in Migration Studies. The first cohort set out to study in September 2011; since 2013 the programme is fully accredited by the national agencies as part of the European pilot project JOQAR. By the end of 2017, five cohorts have graduated with a success rate of nearly 100%. ​

In summer 2016, the programme has been selected for further co-funding under the European Erasmus+ Erasmus Mundus label of excellence. Consequently, from 2017 onwards, another three editions of the study programme will be supported by a limited number of scholarships for both European and non-European students.

EMMIR is a unique Master course focusing on migration through an intercultural approach. It provides profound theoretical and methodological skills in migration studies combined with field work in Europe and Africa. It is designed as a multidisciplinary programme that addresses important contemporary issues in an emerging field of study.
