The added value of the Master Degree in Migration Studies, promoted by GRITIM-UPF, is the diversity of trajectories that are intermingled in the classroom, giving the program a differential approach based on learning through interaction and exchange of experiences.

As the Director of the Master’s program usually highlights, studying in a diverse environment provokes both advanced learning and greater productivity, while allowing students to enhance their cultural understanding through differences. In other words, a sum-positive game. This classroom approach reflects that a diversity-oriented group is a long-standing priority for GRITIM-UPF.
