The Specialisation Diploma in "International Migrations: A Dialogue between Europe and Latin America" is a multidisciplinary postgraduate course aimed at providing comprehensive theoretical and practical training in the description and understanding of the contemporary migratory phenomenon from a European and Latin American perspective.
In recent decades, the processes of human mobility have become increasingly complex and dynamic, generating population, socioeconomic, cultural and political transformations that demand continuous and transversal training. The Specialisation Diploma is offered as an initial training in the field of migration, providing an update for professionals linked to this subject, and providing training elements for researchers in other fields of study.
Through this study, students will acquire key theoretical and conceptual knowledge on the migration phenomenon from different thematic and disciplinary fields. They will be trained, based on international academic cooperation, in transnational legal frameworks and will acquire knowledge about regional, national and local policies that are carried out in the face of an expanding global phenomenon that demands actions that lead to comprehensive, fair and respectful migration policies that respect fundamental rights.
The Specialisation Diploma provides a comprehensive approach to the study of migration and incorporates an analytical and critical view from Europe and Latin America. It has the participation of a teaching team with extensive academic experience from Spain and different Latin American countries and with the collaboration of experts in round tables that put into conversation a complex and globalised phenomenon such as migration.
