Location of University of Oxford

The Refugee Studies Centre (RSC), was founded in 1982. It is an integral part of the Oxford Department of International Development. The Centre carries out multi-disciplinary research, including policy relevant work, on the causes and consequences of forced migration.

Research at the RSC is currently organized around the following three broad areas of investigation: Forced migration, global economy and governance; the experience and management of displacement; and institutional and normative responses to forced migration. In addition to its research programme, the Centre offers a nine-month multi-disciplinary taught Master of Science (MSc) degree course in Forced Migration.

This nine-month course aims to provide students with a broad understanding of the complex and varied nature of forced migration and its centrality to global processes of social, economic and political change, as well as the needs and aspirations of forced migrants themselves. Students are assessed by written papers and examination at the end of the third term. They are expected to satisfy the examiners in three examination papers and two essays.

Requirements

At least a high upper 2nd class honours degree in a social science is normally required. However, entrance is very competitive and most successful applicants have a first class degree or its equivalent. It is also possible for students who have not specialized in a social science to read for the MSc in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies. Relevant experience in forced migration is desirable but not required. Please refer to the Graduate Studies Prospectus for more information
A good command of English (both written and spoken) is essential. Candidates whose first language is not English are required to provide evidence of proficiency in English (eg by taking the TOEFL or IELTS test). Further information here(the higher level stated is required)
