Slavery, Forced Migration & Reparative Justice IntM

The Masters in Slavery, Forced Migration & Reparative Justice offers an international learning experience that involves studying, training and conducting research in different European countries over a period of two years. It is designed to enable the next generation of humanities graduates to develop and transmit knowledge of the history and legacies of slavery and forced migration as they take up careers in media, education, heritage, government and non-governmental organisations, business and academia. Key strengths of the programme are its global, comparative and interdisciplinary approach and its combination of rigorous academic training in historical theory and practice with hands-on professional skills development.
