In the master track Governance of Migration and Diversity, part of the Public Administration master programme at Erasmus University Rotterdam, you learn to manage complex societal problems within the public sector, with a special focus on the contemporary issues of migration and diversity.
This master track is part of the interdisciplinary master programme Governance of Migration and Diversity (GMD), provided together with University of Leiden, Delft University of Technology and the Institute for Social Sciences in The Hague. Thanks to this, you have the opportunity to study at three top universities instead of one, meet peers from other disciplinary tracks who are also deeply interested in migration and diversity issues, and benefit from the academic networks within the LDE GMD Centre.
What is this master track about?
Migration and diversity are key factors in some of the most fundamental transformations of society today. These transformations do not merely involve migrants and refugees, but societies at large. Migration, ethnic and religious diversity have become highly politicised issues that play an important role in contemporary politics in many countries. These issues influence many policy areas of society, such as education, housing, labour markets, welfare and international relations.
This master track in Public Administration at Erasmus University Rotterdam focuses on the research, analysis and management of migration and diversity issues. Here you will learn how migration and integration policies are made, developed, changed and contested; how and why political parties use migration in their quest for power; what role mass media play in shaping public debates and political discourses on migration and diversity.
Is this the right programme for you?
In this programme, we train new generation of migration and diversity policy experts. Those who can think holistically, connect across disciplines and sectors, act with initiative, and navigate complex challenges with a strong ethical compass. This multi-disciplinary master's programme trains such professionals equipped to research, analyse, and manage migration-related issues in the contemporary globalised and complex societies. This programme is for those interested in governmental, non-profit and academic careers in migration, humanitarian, diversity and inclusion sectors.
