Migration Management Diploma Programme (MMDP)

The Migration Management Diploma Programme (MMDP) is a three-month course designed for practitioners and civil servants working in the field of migration and/or asylum run by UNU-MERIT/School of Governance. The programme aims to build capacity of those working in the field of migration but is also available to those who would like to upgrade their knowledge in the field. The programme includes three courses:

1. Migration management and protection
2. Migration and development
3. Migration policy

Classes within MMDP are provided by world renowned scholars and practitioners on a range of issues relating to migration. Moreover the MMDP aims to provide a platform for networking through field trips across Europe including a tour of Dutch Ministries in The Hague, EU institutions in Brussels, the UN and other intergovernmental agencies in Geneva, and Schiphol airport.

MMDP is sponsored by the Swiss Development Cooperation and the Dutch Ministry of Security and Justice. MMDP scholarships are offered to government officials from low, lower-middle and upper-middle income countries working in the field of migration and/or asylum. The programme is also open to practitioners and students interested in migration issues that do not qualify for scholarships on a self-paid basis.

More information about our programme can be found in the latest brochure. Applicants can register for the MMDP and apply for a scholarship  via the online application form.

The application deadline for the 2018 MMDP cohort has passed. Applications for the 2019 cohort will be accepted starting in October of 2018. Please revert back at that time for more information.
