Migration Management Diploma Programme (MMDP)

The Migration Management Diploma Programme (MMDP) is a capacity building programme offered by UNU-MERIT | Maastricht University since 2013. This programme is specifically designed for migration government professionals, providing a focus on theoretical knowledge, as well as practical skills such as articulation and presenting; how to write briefs, policy notes and memoranda; how to formulate evidence-based policy; and how to work in a group and deal with conflicting interests. Throughout the programme, participants will benefit from the helpful input of the core teaching team (part of UNU-MERIT | Maastricht University), visiting migration experts in the field, and guest lecturers from well-known international organizations in different country contexts.

The MMDP Spring 2021 cohort is being delivered entirely online with the financial assistance of the European Union, contracted by ICMPD through the Mobility Partnership Facility, and co-financed by the German Development Cooperation (GIZ). Our participants will be able to participate from any location, take part in specially designed online live classes and interactive PBL sessions and gather the desired international collaborative experience.

The online version of MMDP assures high-quality specialized knowledge and enhances the capacities of government officials in the field through the programme methodology and the three tailored courses:

• Migration Management and Protection
• Migration & Development
• Migration Policy

Running for three months online on a full-time basis, the course uses a range of teaching and evaluation methods including lectures and virtual interactive sessions with participants.
