Student Governance of Migration and Diversity (Public Administration)
I have always been very interested in migration patterns, as they are full of stories of courage, hardship, opportunities, and bonds. Due to the complexity of the topic, I wanted to embark myself in an educational journey that would broaden my understanding by exposing me to diverse viewpoints and perspectives on migration. This led me to the master program Governance of Migration and Diversity. Motivated by my aspiration to make a positive difference in supporting migrants, I decided to follow the track of Public Administration with the intention of one day contributing to effective migration management. However, one of the remarkable aspects of this master program is that regardless of the specialization you decide to follow, the students take part in courses of the fields of the other specializations. This allowed me to explore the topic of migration from many different angles, for instance by exploring migratory movements through a historical lens, examining diverse integration approaches from a sociological standpoint, and analyzing asylum systems through a legal framework. In addition, the program provided us with practical experiences beyond theoretical learning, including site visits and research projects, enabling us to gain real-life knowledge. I think this is something that makes this program special, that it enables students to recognize and appreciate the complexity and uniqueness present in every migration story.
