Migration Curriculum

25 June 2024

Training Material

The Curriculum was developed based on the Migration Textbook produced within the EU-funded project “Support to the Implementation of the Mobility Partnership with Azerbaijan (MOBILAZE 2)” implemented by the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD). The Curriculum was designed for the needs of academia as well as beyond, such as the Regional Training Centre on Migration (RTCM) of the State Migration Service in Azerbaijan (SMS) and training centres of related migration authorities and relevant non-state organisations. Its use is intended not only for academia but also for non-academic environments to provide updated information on migration management in Azerbaijan amongst relevant stakeholders. In case of academic circles, the faculties of Law, Social and Political Sciences, Economics, International Relations and Journalism can primarily benefit from the curriculum in introducing these faculties to migration studies together with more complex topics concerning migration as an interdisciplinary subject. 

The Migration Curriculum consists of 6 stand-alone Modules, being:

  1. Introduction to Migration
  2. Migration Data and Data Management
  3. Legal Aspects of Migration
  4. Migration Governance and Securitisation
  5. Migration Management in Azerbaijan and neighbourhood countries
  6. Migrant Integration 

Given that migration is an interdisciplinary and intersectional subject, students and overall practitioners with different disciplinary backgrounds will be able to participate in migration-related courses. Therefore, this curriculum provides an opportunity for inclusivity of all faculties dealing with migration in this or another way, but mainly focusing on the above-mentioned faculties. Yet only two Modules – Introduction to Migration and Migration Management in Azerbaijan and Neighbourhood Countries are compulsory for all the faculties envisioned in this curriculum. For the rest of the Modules and their participant and faculty scope, more detailed information is provided under each Module.
