This interdisciplinary Master's programme examines ethnicity and migration in relation to global economic and cultural changes, as well as systems of power and resistance. You will develop skills to analyze the causes and consequences of migration, including its impact on race, gender, labor, citizenship, healthcare, welfare, and culture. The programme integrates perspectives from both the humanities and social sciences, fostering critical and innovative approaches to understanding how migration shapes society from historical and sociological viewpoints. You will gain in-depth knowledge in intersectional migration studies, with opportunities to tailor your education through elective courses, study abroad, and internships. Linköping University is a top research institution, and this programme is closely linked to REMESO (Research on Migration, Ethnicity and Society), one of Europe's leading centers for ethnic and migration research. You will be taught by active researchers who bring their current research insights into the classroom, offering direct contact with ongoing knowledge production. The learning environment encourages critical thinking and provides diverse perspectives from faculty and visiting scholars.
