Founded in 1998, Malmö University has rapidly grown to become the ninth largest institution of higher education in Sweden with over 24 000 students and 800 faculty. Our mission is to be an active hub for research, education and innovation that benefits a global society. The activities of Malmö University are centred on the major challenges in society and we strive to be a university open to the world around us. Hence, our research is often multidisciplinary and is frequently pursued in collaboration with external partners.
Our campus is located at the heart of the city of Malmö, the third largest city in Sweden. Since its inception, the university has played an important role in the transformation of Malmö from an industrial city to a centre of learning and innovation. About a third of our first year students have an international background, which is reflected in an increasingly international academic environment.

Department of Global Political Studies (GPS)
The Department of Global Political Studies is a multidisciplinary research and teaching environment comprising seven subject areas: European Studies, Peace and Conflict Studies, Gender Studies, International Migration and Ethnic Relations (IMER), International Relations, Human Rights, and Political Science. The department's degree programmes and research activities focus on global processes of change and the specific and evolving consequences for societies and individuals.

MUSA comprises the subjects International migration and ethnic relations (IMER) and Urban studies (US), at the Department of Global Political Studies and the Department of Urban Studies respectively.
Doctoral programme in International Migration and Ethnic relations (IMER)
IMER comprises studies of emigration, immigration and return. Scholars within IMER study, among other subjects, the national, regional, international and global causes and effects of migration in both the society of origin and destination on a structural, institutional, collective, and individual level.
IMER is an inherently multi- and interdisciplinary subject, in which for instance sociology, political science, cultural geography, anthropology, economic history, economics, social work, history, ethnology, religious studies, gender studies, and cultural studies are represented. For the general study plan for the doctoral programme in IMER.
The aim of the programme is to develop the knowledge and skills required for the doctoral student to independently conduct research and thereby contribute to the development of knowledge within the chosen subject area. The doctoral programme comprises 240 higher education credits (equivalent to four years of full-time studies) and is completed when the doctoral student publicly defends his/her printed doctoral dissertation.
