What you will learn

Migration, especially its effects on a global scale, has become one of the most fundamental issues concerning societies worldwide. Governments, corporations, politicians, and individuals all over the world try to grasp the possibilities and concerns of increasing mobility on a global scale. International Migration and Ethnic Relations at Malmö University addresses these issues.

Refugees from war-torn regions of the world, people seeking to find jobs and a decent quality of life away from their country of birth, and executives in multinational corporations are all part of migratory movements. This program 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.
