Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to assist students in gaining better understanding of global migration issues and migrants' plights and experiences; present theoretical concepts aimed at explaining both migration and migration regulation policies; provide analytical tools to reflect over causes of migration, as well as its impacts on sending and receiving countries and for the migrants themselves.
Upon completion of the course, students will gain broader and more comprehensive understanding of migration phenomena globally. They will be able to critically reflect over causes and consequences of migration on micro and macro levels, and provide informed and evidence-based examples of factors influencing the particular effects. Moreover, students will be familiar with immigration control policies and government interventions based on country-specific examples studied during the course.
