The European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations (EMMIR)the European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations. It is the first African-European Erasmus Mundus Master Course in Migration
Studies. EMMIR responds to this rising importance by providing state of the art education in theoretical concepts, empirical methods and transdisciplinary approaches to migration studies. The programme, combining the expertise of European and African universities, strongly encourages students to critically evaluate the existing body of knowledge and to conduct their own research projects. Students will have the benefits and challenge of an international learner group where participants’ different backgrounds will in itself offer valuable intercultural perspectives for the study of migration. The language of instruction is English, but students will be encouraged to enhance bi- or multilingual language skills.
