You will spend your first se­mester with the full edition at University of Oldenburg (UOL), Germany.

Starting with the Intensive Phase (IP) Studying Glob­al Migration in the 21st century (MM11) in September, you will become acquainted with all partner universities and their aca­demic teachers from the very beginning. All partner institutions carry out the IP and provide input on their respective focus module and perspectives as well as their discipli­nary orientations and interdisciplinary net­works.

Starting during the IP you may attend a course on German Language and Socie­ty in order to locate yourself in Germany and to fos­ter multilingual expertise. At the end of the IP, you will begin negotiating your individual study plan with the EMMIR staff, sketching your focus and mobility track and linking the courses selected with your individual profile and objectives.

The first semester includes two congruent courses focusing on methods/methodology and on theories of migration and intercultural relations. In both modules, UOL academic staff will cooperate with international scholars and other guest speakers. 

For semester 2, you will move with the full edition to Stavanger, where the Norwegian and the Slovenian partners are jointly in charge of planning and carry­ing out the teaching. Semester 2 consists of two modules, offering the possibility to further specialise in your field of inter­est.

• Module MM21 focuses on Migration between Time and Temporality: Regional Perspectives.

• Module MM22 Theorising Migration and Multiculturalism will give you the possibility to select three out of at least six sub-modules.

In the second half of se­mester 2, EMMIR staff at the University of Stavanger and the EMMIR coordinator will provide you with support to organise your individual mobility path. By the end of semester 2, you will have further devel­oped your concept of specialisation and research perspective in the field and you will commit your further studies to one of the four programme foci (i.e. gender, diversity and intersectionality; development, conflict and justice; representation, power relations and knowledge production; education and citizenship).

In semester 3, you will start fol­lowing your individual mobility path and at­tend a Focus Module (MM32) at one of the partner universities. Also, you will concen­trate on a Project-Based Internship (MM31) following your individual research focus.

Framed by a small thematic research team, you will enhance your individual profile: link­ing your disciplinary with transdisciplinary perspectives, having expert knowledge in a specific area, further accentuated by a bi/multilingual profile, research and interaction in the field. Already in con­tact with your potential MA disserta­tion supervisor, you will also use the third semester to develop your disser­tation proposal.

​

Options for third semester mobility are: UOL, MUST, USB, UNG, Wits, and Ahfad. Please read more about our partners here.

The full edition will meet at the start of semester 4 for a man­datory proposal colloquium at UOL in order to prepare for the thesis from a theoretical and methodological level.

The colloquium is carried out jointly by all partners. Subsequently, super­vision groups will be formed attending research colloquia offered at the partner universities.

After the proposal colloqui­um, you will dedicate the fourth semester entirely to thesis research and writing. The thesis has to be submitted by 30 June (see MM41).

After your thesis is submitted and graded, passing students attend the EMMIR graduation ceremony in Oldenburg.
