Refugee Protection and Forced Migration Studies

Entry requirements

You need an undergraduate degree (e.g. bachelor) that is comparable to a UK upper second class honours degree. You can still apply without this, and we will consider each application on its merits.

Course content

This MA has quickly become one of the largest programmes on forced migration anywhere in the world.

The programme provides a solid legal, practical and theoretical understanding of refugee protection and forced migration.

You will become more independent in managing and critiquing law, policy and practice, and also in gathering, organising and deploying evidence to form balanced judgements and develop policy recommendations.
