New Study Program: Forced Migration - Europe in a Global Context

The Joint Master’s PATHS Forced Migration: Europe in a Global Context offers you three paths, from which you select one, focusing on different dimensions of forced migration in and around Europe. The paths take place at six different locations and universities across Europe that will allow you to engage deeply with different contexts which are highly relevant for understanding current dynamics around forced migration.

At European University Viadrina you can study the European Border Regimes path. You learn how border regimes are managed, how migration is governed, and how inequalities are shaped globally. You study based on a social science perspective which offers theoretical foundations, methods training and practical experience in local and international contexts. You will conduct research, complete an internship, and gain transnational experience in three different countries at the following universities: European University Viadrina (Germany), SWPS (Poland), and the University of the Aegean (Greece). The Master’s programme prepares you for a broad field of careers in policy-making, NGOs, advocacy and humanitarian assistance, migration governance as well as academic research.


As a graduate of the European Border Regimes path, you will have a sound and practice-oriented understanding of forced migration, border regimes and migration policy. This enables you to develop and implement social, sustainable, effective and evidence-based solutions in complex migration contexts at both European and global levels.

The programme prepares you for professional fields such as:

• International organisations and NGOs working with refugees and displaced persons
• Humanitarian and development organisations
• Research institutions and think tanks focusing on migration and border studies
• Migration management and border policy agencies at national and European levels
• Policy advising and governmental institutions
• Education, training, and intercultural mediation
• Media, advocacy, and public information on migration issues and refugee rights
