Masters degrees
The School of Global Studies offers two exciting Master degrees in Migration Studies, taught by internationally-recognised migration scholars and building on Sussex’s global reputation for impactful research.
Migration and Refugee Studies MA
Migration and Global Development MA
My MA allowed me to take stock of my career and focus on a field I am really passionate about. The course content, variety and academics' input was excellent and the programme was complemented by a wealth of extra events hosted by the department, which really boosted the experience.” Anahita Hossein-Pour
