MITRA Master's Degree, "Migrations transnationales"

The MITRA Master’s program is a bilingual (French and English) interdisciplinary degree in the social sciences. It is dedicated to the study of migratory phenomena on an international scale and their impacts on contemporary societies.

MITRA trains researchers specializing in migration studies (with opportunities to pursue doctoral studies), analysts of public policies on migration and integration (experts working in international or local organizations), and field practitioners in the non-profit sector.

As part of one of the international graduate programs at the University of Lille, MITRA is both a professionally oriented and research-oriented master’s program. It is designed according to a dual approach: alternating study locations within and outside Europe, and alternating between academic learning and fieldwork.

Upon completing the program, MITRA students are awarded a master’s degree from the consortium, along with degrees from the partner universities where they pursued their studies.

Entry requirements

Applicants are expected to hold a degree in the social sciences, law, foreign languages, and humanities (180 ECTS). Exceptions can be made for students from other disciplines who already have some professional experience. MITRA is taught in both French and English, requiring B2 proficiency (CEFR). The duration of the programme is twenty-four months. Depending on the students’ major, the consortium jointly awards two or three Master’s degrees on completion.
