						In this History master's degree you will focus on processes that are subjects of heated current societal and political debates. You will study them from a comparative and historical perspective (covering the period 1500 until today) and place them in the wider frameworks of the development of trade networks, the emergence of multinationals, economic growth and stagnation, and regional unification.

Leiden University has a long tradition of studying migration and ethnicity and you will benefit from the expertise of a large team of enthusiastic and very diverse teachers. You will learn to understand and contribute to current debates about migration, urbanisation, globalisation, economic growth and inequality from a historical and comparative perspective. You will also analyse urban and state institutions and their effects on inclusion and exclusion, urban crime and criminal behaviour, and the development of freedoms and un-freedoms (including slavery).

Leiden University's History department was recently ranked 20th in the QS worldwide ranking.

Governance of Migration and Diversity
The master sub-specialisation Governance of Migration and Diversity is a cooperation between Leiden University, Delft University of Technology and Erasmus University Rotterdam. For more information have a look at our website.

The programme aims to frame the historical study of migration in a wider interdisciplinary context. To achieve this, you attend courses at all participating universities, and you will be trained to contribute to the governance of migration and diversity in the context of very different organisations.

You will address questions such as:

what are the opportunities and challenges for the management of migration?
how have societies changed in terms of (ethnic/cultural/religious) diversity?
how are newcomers incorporated?
how can discrimination be prevented?

Erik Mul - Student Testimonial Migration and Global Interdependence Leiden University

It doesn't matter where you are in the world, migration is a big public and political debate. I chose the master's programme in Cities, Migration, and Global Interdependence to gain a deeper understanding of this highly debated phenomenon.

Historical perspectives
The master's programme in Cities, Migration, and Global Interdependence offers you courses where you can study different types of migration through a historical perspective. This historical perspective gives you a long term understanding of migration and current debates...

Testimonial Prof. Marlou Schrover

“We can only truly study migration by comparing today's immigration to immigration in the past.”

“Leiden University has a long tradition of studying migration and ethnicity. This tradition can be traced all the way back to such sources as nineteenth-century Leiden Arabist and ethnographer C. Snouck Hurgronje. What I find so interesting about Leiden is that on the one hand this tradition is continuously being further expanded on, while on the other hand, migration research is being carried out within many different disciplines (history, for example, as well as broadly outside this field)...

What I try to do is promote the collaboration as well as benefit from it.

Migration is the most important subject in current debates. If we consider migration and integration from a historical, long-term perspective, we see patterns emerging. The fear of newcomers was the same in the past, and what's more, the fate of Dutch immigrants abroad hardly differed from that of modern-day immigrants in the Netherlands. The world in the Netherlands can only be understood by also looking at the Netherlands in the world.

We can only really study migration and integration if we place the similarities and differences side by side: today's immigration has to be compared with immigration in the past, and immigration has to be compared with emigration. Migration and integration have to be placed in the wider frameworks of the development of trade networks, the emergence of multinationals, economic growth and stagnation, and world unification. Ethnicity needs to be studied in combination with gender and class, as parallel mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion, and the formation of identity. Leiden University is in my opinion the ideal place for this approach.”
