Mobility Path


Mobility Path
 


Our program consists of both collective and individual mobility. Students start in the first term in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany, then move as a cohort to Gävle, Sweden. In the third term, students can choose between five countries to conduct their internship and pursue academic specialization related to their interests: Benin, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and Türkiye.

 

The M.A. focuses on often overlooked de-centered, rural, and urban areas that have been affected by emigration and immigration for a long time. By experiencing migration and education in different regions, students gain excellent and diverse insights into education, migration, and diversity outside of large Metropolitan areas.
