Full course description
The final course in the migration specialisation deals with migration governance and policy. Migration policy is a critical topic in many countries and of great importance to political parties and a feature of many elections. The course focuses on exploring migration policy from a comparative perspective through the examination of the policies and positions of different actors across different levels of governance on contemporary migration issues. Students learn about the history of global migration governance, develop indicators to compare policies, and critically examine the different approaches of governments to key migration-related policies issues. Special emphasis is placed on developing and formulating evidence-based policy recommendations and preparing students to enter the labour market.
