Forced Migration Studies Program, Witwatersrand University
Founded in 1993, the Forced Migration Studies Programme (FMSP) is an internationally engaged, Africa-oriented, and Africa-based centre of excellence for research and teaching that helps shape global discourse on migration, aid, and social transformation.
With students from across Africa and around the world, it offers rigorous academic training, field research experience, and access to a network of committed professionals, scholars, and activists. In addition to teaching and academic research, the FMSP provides research services to civil society, governments, business, and international organizations.
The FMSP’s teaching is designed for students and practitioners seeking greater insight into the experience of displaced persons and international humanitarianism. It provides an introduction for those new to the field and opportunities for critical reflection for those with practical experience. Based in Johannesburg – the heart of Southern Africa’s politics, culture, and economy – the programme offers insights into the causes and consequences of migration in Africa from a global perspective. Programme graduates are now working at universities, non-governmental and governmental agencies, and international organizations throughout Africa.
