About the MSc programme
The MSc International Migration and Public Policy programme provides a systematic multidisciplinary approach to central controversies in the comparative analysis of public policy responses to immigration and migrant integration issues across different levels of governance.
The programme offers a unique range of courses that will deepen your knowledge of migration and mobility issues and help you gain new insight into public policy responses to international migration at the global, regional, national and local levels. You will also focus on the growing role of the EU in European and international migration management.
You will have the advantage of studying at an international campus in close proximity to national policy-makers and offices of international organisations, and will have the opportunity to attend and participate in the established public lecture and seminar series organised by the European Institute and the LSE Migration Studies Unit.
European Institute
The European Institute is one of the largest, if not the largest, centres for the study of European anywhere in the world.
The European Institute’s core work centres around three key areas: research, teaching and learning, and public events.
The work of the EI's faculty, research staff, and our highly active doctoral community focuses on our four key research themes: Political Economy, Politics & Policy, Culture & Society, and Migration.
One of the hallmarks of the European Institute is our strong external profile. We host dozens of events a year, with an outstanding cast list of high-level speakers from politics, public administration and EU institutions, including presidents, prime ministers, foreign ministers, finance ministers, distinguished scholars and influential commentators.
