The European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations is happy to receive self-funded applications for the 11th edition of students to study the two-year master's programme.
Since 2016, EMMIR has been funded under the European Erasmus+ Erasmus Mundus label of excellence, one of Europe's most prestigious study programmes.
EMMIR students study in Germany and Norway in their first year, and then can choose to study in South Africa, Uganda, Sudan, Czech Republic, Slovenia, or India in year 2.
Applications for scholarships have now closed, but we are still accepting applications for two types of self-funded students: non-fee-paying and fee-paying.
What is the EMMIR programme?
The European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations (EMMIR) is two-year Erasmus Mundus migration studies course and is jointly run by three African, four European, and two Asian partners, facilitated by a wider network of associate partners.
EMMIR is a unique study programme focusing on migration through an intercultural approach. It equips students with profound theoretical and methodological skills in migration studies and allows them to conduct fieldwork primarily in Asian, African, and European contexts. It is designed as a multidisciplinary two-year master’s programme (120 ECTS) that addresses important contemporary issues in a still emerging field of study.
As an EMMIR student, you will become acquainted with different cultures and academic traditions and gain knowledge about migration issues in academic settings and in internships. You will gain profound skills and specialise in one of the programme foci, this will provide you with excellent chances for employment in national and international governmental and private sector organisations or in academia.
What is it like to be an EMMIRian?
EMMIR students lead exciting academic, professional, and personal lives over the two years of their degree programme. Student mobility is one of the programme’s crucial features, meaning that students spend every semester on a different mobility path. EMMIR begins in Oldenburg, Germany, and in the second semester, all students move to Stavanger, Norway.
In the third semester, students attend the partner university of their choice, they complete courses and a project-based internship. Before the final semester, a joint proposal colloquium leads to the formation of supervision groups continuing in the fourth semester in order to support the research and thesis writing.
