Université Côte d’Azur: Migration Studies
The Master in Migration Studies is a multidisciplinary specialization provided by Université Côte d’Azur within 3 Master programs: social sciences, international and European law, and political science. It provides students with in-depth knowledge and specific skills in the field of migration, asylum, integration and discrimination.
· Master 1 (M1) provides a general grounding in one of the three main disciplinary fields (taught in French), while also introducing students to the broad field of migration and ethnic studies (through 2 multidisciplinary courses taught in French and English).
· Master 2 (M2) offers an advanced-level specialisation in migration and ethnic studies. Classes are common to the 3 degrees and based on a pluridisciplinary approach. The language of instruction is English. Migration and ethnic issues are approached through disciplinary courses (e.g. history of migration, asylum law, sociology of interethnic relations, etc.) and interdisciplinary seminars focusing on specific topics (such as human trafficking, prejudice and discrimination, for example). Students also acquire methodological skills in research and analysis (qualitative and quantitative techniques, methodologies in legal studies).

Courses for the double degree programme (year 2)
It is not required to speak French for the double degree programme. A C1 level in English is required.
Double degree students will be registered in one of the three tracks of the Masters (Law, Political Science or Social Sciences) depending on their previous training. Although most classes are common to the 3 tracks, semester 4 is slightly different, and mostly the master thesis in Law is quite different from a master thesis in political or social sciences. In order to integrate the Law track, students must have at least a bachelor's degree in law.
