Application for Spring 2024 is open.

All courses are taught in English and count for 7,5 ECTS, or five weeks of full-time study. The course model is structured according to the following principle: students spend the first two weeks at their home institutions reading and preparing for the third week which will be spent in Gothenburg or Norrköping in Sweden. During this third, intensive course week students and teachers have scheduled activities all day and some scheduled evening events. Weeks four and five students spend at their home institutions writing their exam papers. Attending PhD students will be offered accommodation and there will be a period of application to courses ahead of time.

The course examination consists of an individually authored paper that receives feedback from the course teachers. Students are encouraged to adapt their exam papers to the journal article format if suitable. Some courses will also require students to make oral presentations modelled on those given at international conferences. The examination serves the twofold purpose of monitoring accomplished learning outcomes while at the same time assisting students in preparing for a research career.

ABOUT THE GRADUATE SCHOOL

The aim of the Graduate School in Migration and Integration is to provide PhD students with advanced teaching, research training and networking opportunities. It aspires to create a unique intellectual milieu for PhD students who write their dissertations on migration and integration.

The graduate school is run by two main partners: the Institute for Research on Migration, Ethnicity and Society (REMESO) at Linköping University (LiU) and the Department of Sociology and Work Science (SOCAV) at the University of Gothenburg (UGOT). At UGOT the school also benefits from close cooperation with the Centre on Global Migration (CGM), the Department of Law and the School of Global Studies.

By drawing upon the expertise at both Linköping University and the University of Gothenburg, the graduate school offers several courses, some of a comprehensive nature, others more specialised. Our programme includes courses on ethnicity, nationalism and racism; intersectional perspectives; mixed methods in migration research; theories of international migration; climate change; migration and law, citizenship, civil society and the welfare state; housing segregation; political economy; and migration and labour market integration.

The school incorporates a wide range of research directions, specializations and theoretical and methodological approaches and attends to international migration and integration from contemporary as well as historical perspectives. Our course programme also benefits from a broad experience with inter- and multidisciplinary approaches, mixed, qualitative, quantitative, and participatory methods.
