The aim of the course is to contribute to a critical understanding of the relationships among globalization, migration, and the welfare state. Each of these phenomena is complex and important in their own right. This course, however, will explore the significant ways in which these forces interact and affect each other. In addition to a general introduction to the major themes and their intersections, we will also focus on different countries’ approaches to immigration and immigrant integration as well as variation in the experiences of immigrants in relation to social policies and economic conditions.

The course consists of lectures and seminars and will focus on and provide many opportunities for active student participation. To complete course assignments students must have access to a computer, internet, and applications available for free download.
All seminars are compulsory. Students are required to come prepared to discuss course materials in each seminar. Performance on short weekly papers or presentations will also factor into student grades. Students will be assessed individually and receive a corresponding grade.
The Swedish academic grading system includes three pass grades: Fail, Pass and Pass with distinction. Examination based on this syllabus cannot be guaranteed after two years from the start of the course.
International students will be graded in accordance with the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
Grading decisions are based on an assessment of the individual student’s performance. In case of a student being awarded a “fail” grade, she or he has the right to be re-examined in a form and at a time agreed upon in consultation with the examiner.
Students have the right to be re-examined up to five times per course. Examination and supplementary examination based on the syllabus outlined here can be guaranteed for up to two years after the start of the course. If a student is awarded a “fail” grade on at least two consecutive attempts of the examination of the course or course component, she or he has the right to request a new examiner. The director of studies should be consulted in such circumstances.
Decisions relating to academic credit transfers are made on a case-by-case basis. For further information about this contact the study advisor. See also Umeå University’s set of rules and academic transfer regulations. www.umu.se/studentcentrum/regler_riktlinjer/regelsamlingen/examensfragor.html
