Master Migrations

For Master Migrations, the tuition fee is 292 USD per year.

Migration Studies examines the causes, patterns, and consequences of human mobility across borders. The Master Migrations at Université Paris 1 - Panthéon Sorbonne, based in Paris, France, trains students to analyze why people move, how states and international bodies respond, and what integration and mobility mean for host and origin societies. Coursework in this field typically spans migration law, refugee and asylum policy, demography, labor mobility, transnationalism, and the geopolitics of borders. Students also engage with humanitarian frameworks, statelessness, and the social and economic dimensions of displacement, often drawing on sociology, political science, law, and international relations to build a multidisciplinary view of migration phenomena. Case studies commonly cover both historical migration flows and current policy debates within Europe and beyond. Graduates of programs in this discipline pursue careers with non-governmental organizations, international organizations such as UN agencies, government ministries handling immigration and asylum, research institutes, and humanitarian aid bodies. Some move into advocacy or legal aid work supporting migrants and refugees, while others take up policy analysis or program management roles. The degree is delivered as a master's qualification over two years, with an inferred start in September and instruction conducted in French. Tuition is set at 250 EUR per year, a rate consistent with public university programs in France. Students considering this path should be comfortable with policy analysis, comparative research methods, and engaging critically with contested political and social questions surrounding mobility, citizenship, and belonging in contemporary societies.
