About EuMIGS

European Master in Migration Studies

EuMIGS is a network of Master Programmes in Migration Studies in seven European countries. It offers master students the opportunity to spend up to one year at another programme in another country. The network’s main aims are allowing students:

to have the chance to specialise according to the specific focal points of their home and host institutions
to get to know other academic and disciplinary perspectives on migration and related topics
to discover the migration realities of another country and another city

Moreover, the network aims at strengthening cooperation and exchange between students and scholars within Europe and beyond.
