Examine the cultural, social and political issues at the heart of migration while developing your language skills. You’ll study with an established and interdisciplinary team of researchers and teachers who have an international record of publications and award-winning impact activities in language and migration, translation and cultural change, language policies and language planning, and post-colonial studies. Explore topics such as human rights and philosophy, politics and international relations, applied linguistics and sociolinguistics, and international refugee law. You’ll have the option of completing a dissertation, or an extended project and work placement, enabling you to build your professional network and experience while you study.

There is an increasing demand for qualified experts with linguistic and intercultural competence. Your knowledge and skills would be well-suited to a career in government, national and international NGOs, and the non-profit sector, such as working as a mediator at the frontline of migration or contributing to research and monitoring reports. This degree is also excellent preparation for doctoral study in the fields of migration or language studies.
