Graduate Certificate in Contemporary Migration Movements and Interculturalism – (Grad.Cert.)

The purpose of this programme is to offer a solid scientific, theoretical and applied training aimed at professionals and people responsible for migration management, as well as researchers interested in the social sciences from a socio-demographic, economic, political and ethnographic approach to migration, structured in four areas of specialization arranged in modules (job market, education, health and media), and ending in a module of research projects and social intervention.

The following transverse axes will be developed:

- Study of the spectrum of socio-cultural situations, integration dynamics and acculturalization to which different groups of immigrants are subjected.
- Analysis of problems and specific common social responses derived from the areas mentioned above (job market, education, health and media).
- Review and understanding of particular aspects of migration projects and integration expectations according to gender and generation.
- Evaluation of social and political actions towards immigration from an inter-cultural and socially inclusive approach.

This programme will offer a theoretical update to open new channels leading to deeper research, as well as technical training supported by experience and a global and holistic overview to base and apply strategies of social intervention.
