The purpose of this programme is to offer a solid scientific, theoretical and applied training aimed at professionals and people responsible for migration management, as well as researchers interested in the social sciences from a socio-demographic, economic, political and ethnographic approach to migration, structured in four areas of specialization arranged in modules (job market, education, health and media), and ending in a module of research projects and social intervention.

The following transverse axes will be developed:

1. Study of the spectrum of socio-cultural situations, integration dynamics and acculturalization to which different groups of immigrants are subjected.

2. Analysis of problems and specific common social responses derived from the areas mentioned above (job market, education, health and media).

3. Review and understanding of particular aspects of migration projects and integration expectations according to gender and generation.

4. Evaluation of social and political actions towards immigration from an inter-cultural and socially inclusive approach.

This programme will offer a theoretical update to open new channels leading to deeper research, as well as technical training supported by experience and a global and holistic overview to base and apply strategies of social intervention.

The student must have prior training in one of the following areas: social sciences, humanities or health sciences.

Admission will be decided by a committee of three members teaching in the Master and matching the profile of the applicant.
