Information for students
Professional and academic opportunities
The Master's Degree in International Migration responds to the need for professional experts in the different areas related to migration, a phenomenon that involves very different areas and requires specific and complex preparation.
Graduate profile:
The necessary competences are provided so that the student can develop analyses on the different fields of action implicit in contemporary migratory processes; specialised training is envisaged to analyse, compare, evaluate and carry out diagnoses on the migratory reality in which we are participants. Students will be able to work both in non-governmental organisations that carry out intervention programs, and in public and private bodies that carry out consultancy work, studies, analysis and financing of projects in the field of immigration.
