Program details

Overview

The Graduate Diploma in Refugee & Migration Studies is coordinated by the Centre for Refugee Studies (CRS) at York University and lets a student already enrolled in a York graduate program formally specialize in refugee and forced migration studies. It is awarded concurrently with the student's Master's or PhD degree rather than as a stand-alone credential. Diploma candidates complete six credits from one or two approved refugee and forced migration studies courses, drawn from CRS-affiliated course lists, complete 30 hours of volunteer work, attend at least eight CRS seminar presentations over the course of their degree, remain active members of the CRS Student Caucus, and produce a major research paper, thesis or dissertation supervised by an approved faculty member on an approved refugee or migration topic. The diploma gives formal recognition to a concentrated research and study focus in this field.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Candidates must first be admitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies at York University in an MA or PhD degree program; the diploma is not offered as a stand-alone program and is awarded concurrently with the student's degree. Diploma requirements are six credits from one or two approved refugee and forced migration studies courses (other courses require director approval), 30 hours of volunteer work, attendance at a minimum of eight CRS seminar presentations over the course of the degree, active membership in the CRS Student Caucus, and a major research paper, thesis or dissertation on an approved topic supervised by an approved faculty member.
