The Masters in Migrations & Social Justice will introduce you to the study of global migration, including migration processes and the social, political and economic consequences of migration. Unique in Scotland, it addresses questions such as who moves and why, who is allowed to settle and where, what are the roles of states, institutions and civil societies in these processes.<br>We look at migration from a social justice perspective, and the MSc offers an opportunity to critically engage with issues of inequality, power, citizenship, human rights, welfare and solidarity. The University of Glasgow has been awarded University of Sanctuary status in recognition of its commitment to supporting people who have experienced forced migration, including facilitating access to higher education for refugee communities.<br>The MSc combines social theory with research methods and tools and enables you to develop applied knowledge in the field. It brings together cutting-edge academic research on migration with an emphasis on social justice and learning from non-academic work in this area. <br>We have strong links with the Glasgow Refugee, Asylum and Migration Network (GRAMNet). GRAMnet is an internationally recognised research network based at the University of Glasgow that brings together researchers and practitioners, NGOs and policy makers working with migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in Scotland and beyond. You will benefit from access to the GRAMNet-related activities such as seminars, film series, community organised events and find out about opportunities for knowledge exchange. We have strong links with voluntary and public sector organisations in Scotland and beyond through GRAMNet as well as through staff and alumni's professional links.
