The MA in Advanced Migration Studies is an ambitious, interdisciplinary two-year programme taught in English at the University of Copenhagen. It examines the causes, patterns and effects of international migration, including refugee situations in Northern Africa and the Middle East and the way global warming affects human mobility. The programme draws on both the humanities and the social sciences, bringing in ethnology, anthropology, sociology, history, philosophy, political science, sociolinguistics, education, and literary and media studies. Students therefore learn to approach migration from several theoretical and methodological angles in one degree.
