International Migration and Ethnic Relations Malmö University

Overview

International Migration and Ethnic Relations from Malmö University studies the effects of migration at a global and national level, on the formation of ethnic communities, religious groups, families, and individuals to find out how policies could facilitate integration and hinder segregation and racism in societies worldwide. It also addresses fundamental issues concerning concepts such as culture and ethnicity.

Quick Facts:

• In the past decades, Malmö has gone through a dramatic change. What until recently was a working class industrial city is now a thriving city, focused on the production of service and knowledge rather than industrial goods. Malmö is also one of the cities in northern Europe with the largest proportion of newly arrived migrants. It is, therefore, an exciting place to study the effects of international migration and ethnic relations, and we collaborate with the surrounding society on these issues. The strong international element of the programme is emphasised by the possibility for students to take an entire semester abroad with one of our partner universities around the world.
• Graduates typically get jobs within a wide range of areas such as government and non-government organisations concerned with issues of globalisation, migration, refugees, integration and segregation. Graduates can also find jobs connected to social work, journalism and various businesses concerned with global issues. You can also proceed to studies at advanced level/master's courses and eventually go on to do a PhD.
