The Master Migrations is a 2-years master programme launched in 2020 by two Parisian higher education institutes. It responds to the increasing need for expertise on migration, asylum and discrimination issues. Its multidisciplinary teaching is based on law, economics, demography, history, sociology, geography and socio-anthropology, with particular attention paid to methods. The master also aims to connect students with migration-related professional fields. The programme is taught in French, essays may be written in English. Incoming exchange students are welcome to stay for one semester or an entire year and may choose their courses from a wide range of first, second and third semester courses.
