What is the University of Oldenburg MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations?
A four-semester, 120 ECTS route underpins MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations. The Master of Arts concentrates on migration, intercultural relations, empirical methods and multi-country comparative study. EMMIR moves from Oldenburg to Stavanger, then into an internship and partner-university focus before the fourth-semester thesis.
In practical terms, semester one precedes semester four completion. Applications in the stated cycle close 20 December 2026. The INR 41.40 lakh estimate makes the funding assumption visible without pretending rent or exchange rates are fixed.
The degree’s internal proportions are visible in its blocks: Oldenburg foundations and methods accounts for 30 ECTS and covers semester one. Stavanger migration study accounts for 30 ECTS and covers semester two. Internship and partner focus accounts for 30 ECTS and covers semester three mobility. Master’s thesis accounts for 30 ECTS and covers semester four completion. They turn the broad description of migration, intercultural relations, empirical methods and multi-country comparative study into a workload that can be compared with a candidate’s prior study and intended thesis.
How much does University of Oldenburg MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations cost?
The full-programme planning total is EUR 38,884.08 equivalent, about INR 41.40 lakh. This Indian applicant comparison uses Oldenburg’s current student-finance estimate, applicable university charges, APS and the German study-visa fee. It isn’t a fixed future bill, and the excluded items below still need funding.
| Item | INR | Local currency | When it is due |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuition or participation fee, full programme | INR 19.16 lakh | EUR 18,000.00 | Four EMMIR instalments |
| Living, 24 months | INR 21.97 lakh | EUR 20,640.00 | Budgeted from EUR 860 a month after removing the EUR 140 insurance allowance already covered by EMMIR |
| APS verification | INR 18,000 | INR 18,000 | During APS registration |
| German national study visa | INR 8,300 | EUR 75 | At the visa appointment |
| Full-programme planning total | INR 41.40 lakh | EUR 38,884.08 equivalent | Before flights, deposits, travel and conditional dMAT |
Proof-of-funds money remains the student's living budget and is not added twice. dMAT adds EUR 150 only where APS requires it. Euro items use EUR 1 = INR 106.459, the ECB reference rate for 20 October 2026. APS is priced at INR 18,000 and the visa row uses the current INR 8,300 collection amount.
“Blocked bank account (“Sperrkonto”) in Germany with sufficient funds to cover the first year of studies”German Missions in India, study visa funding rule
The German Missions in India funding rule supports the blocked-account figure used here. The rupee conversions use the European Central Bank reference series for 1 September 2026.
EMMIR charges EUR 4,500 per semester on its fee-paying route and includes registration, student-service charges and health insurance. The living line conservatively removes Oldenburg’s published EUR 140 monthly insurance allowance; compulsory mobility travel is still extra.
The arithmetic holds today’s charges and exchange rate constant for comparison. Housing, travel, deposits and personal spending can move the real amount.
APS says selected master’s applicants must submit a dMAT certificate. Its EUR 150 fee is excluded because the rule does not apply to every prior degree.
Can an Indian applicant meet University of Oldenburg MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations entry rules?
The transcript has to support a relevant first degree with at least a C+ equivalent, evidence of migration or intercultural knowledge and empirical-method preparation. Language documentation is assessed against English; the programme publishes its own accepted proof routes. Both parts need documentary evidence in the completed application file.
| Requirement | Published rule | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Qualifying degree – MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations (India) | a relevant first degree with at least a C+ equivalent, evidence of migration or intercultural knowledge and empirical-method preparation | Match this against the official transcript, certificate or supporting description |
| Academic result – MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations (India) | Relevant first degree with at least a C+ equivalent | Match this against the official transcript, certificate or supporting description |
| Subject preparation – MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations (India) | Migration or intercultural knowledge and empirical-method preparation | Match this against the official transcript, certificate or supporting description |
| Language – MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations (India) | English; the programme publishes its own accepted proof routes | Match this against the official transcript, certificate or supporting description |
A line-by-line transcript map makes the academic comparison concrete: course, credit value, assessed content and result. That is where prior exposure to migration, intercultural relations, empirical methods and multi-country comparative study becomes verifiable rather than asserted.
The Indian evidence chain includes originals, appropriate translations, the degree record and a grading-scale explanation. APS authenticates the education file but doesn’t award a place.
Each condition keeps its own role. Excellent subject preparation can’t waive language proof, just as a high language score can’t fill an academic-content shortfall.

Content behind the MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations degree title
A familiar title doesn’t prove the prerequisite for oldenburg foundations and methods; credited and assessed undergraduate content remains controlling.
Documents with different jobs
APS, uni-assist and the university examine different parts of the file. One successful check doesn’t predetermine the others.
How should an Indian applicant apply for University of Oldenburg MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations?
Apply through the EMMIR consortium portal during 1 October to 20 December 2026 for scholarship and non-fee-paying applications for Winter 2027/28. The controlling deadline is 20 December 2026; prepare subject mapping, language evidence and APS before the window closes. The route needs a complete academic and language file at submission.
EMMIR runs a consortium application with scholarship, non-fee-paying and fee-paying deadlines; this page uses the earlier scholarship/non-fee deadline as the primary planning date.
| Start by | Task | Takes | Why this date |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 Sep 2026 | Complete APS and any applicable dMAT | 90 days | The certificate must exist before the Oldenburg deadline. |
| 04 Nov 2026 | Secure language evidence | 45 days | Meet English; the programme publishes its own accepted proof routes at the stated application or enrolment stage. |
| 09 Dec 2026 | Map academic eligibility | 10 days | Match modules, credits and required supporting work. |
| 19 Dec 2026 | Submit one complete uni-assist application | 1 day | Finish before 20 December 2026. |
The allowances are Nbyula planning estimates, not processing times published by University of Oldenburg.
Subject eligibility comes before document collection because a complete upload cannot succeed when the prior curriculum misses an exclusion criterion. A safe working plan allows at least three months for APS before the Oldenburg deadline, with more time where dMAT applies.
Transcripts, grading information, medium-of-instruction evidence and detailed syllabi are best requested early from the awarding institution. Certified translations are needed where the portal requires them, and names must remain consistent across academic, APS and passport records.
The 20 December 2026 date follows the current recurring application pattern and is shown as a planning date for the named cycle. The live programme page remains the final authority because Oldenburg can change dates or document instructions.
What jobs can follow University of Oldenburg MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations?
Specialist project work and an independently assessed master’s thesis form the visible academic result. Possible directions include migration policy, international organisations, NGOs, research, integration services and doctoral study, although the university doesn’t promise recruitment into them. Germany’s graduate residence route supplies search time rather than employment.
| Measure | Figure | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Direction after MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations | Migration policy, international organisations, ngos, research, integration services and doctoral study | Published subject focus: migration, intercultural relations, empirical methods and multi-country comparative study |
| Evidence a graduate controls | Specialist project work and an independently assessed master's thesis | Assessed work culminating in master's thesis |
| Claim not published | No audited placement percentage or salary distribution | No programme-level cohort report was found |
The 18-month search period after MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations is an immigration option, not an Oldenburg placement service.
German post-study permission supplies up to 18 months for an eligible graduate to seek skilled work. It isn’t employment, and a later residence title still depends on an appropriate role.
Sector entry may additionally depend on professional rules, German working ability or methods beyond the formal curriculum. The degree doesn’t erase those external selection criteria.
A useful portfolio explains the question, method and individual contribution behind the work. Confidential partner or participant material stays protected, but the reasoning and result can still be made legible.
Who is University of Oldenburg MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations for, and who should avoid it?
The academic case works when oldenburg foundations and methods is credible prior terrain and master’s thesis is a wanted destination. It doesn’t work merely because the master’s title is attractive. Academic alignment is only one part: accepted language evidence and independent funding must survive the full two years.
| Verdict | Your background | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Strong fit | Prepared MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations applicant | Prior assessed study already supports migration, intercultural relations, empirical methods and multi-country comparative study. |
| Strong fit | Candidate seeking master's thesis | The intended output is specialist project work and an independently assessed master's thesis. |
| Needs evidence | Adjacent-subject graduate | Admission depends on the precise evidence behind: a relevant first degree with at least a C+ equivalent, evidence of migration or intercultural knowledge and empirical-method preparation. |
| Do not shortlist | Applicant relying on future wages | The present two-year plan is INR 41.40 lakh before excluded costs. |
A revealing test is whether one plausible thesis question can be stated now, together with the methods or source material it would need. The answer shows whether the proposed research extends earlier assessed work or begins from zero.
The financial fit is independent of the academic one. Rent and exchange rates can move, student work isn’t guaranteed, and the current estimate leaves specified travel and arrival items outside the headline total.
What does the 120 ECTS University of Oldenburg MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations curriculum contain?
The published regular full-time route carries 120 ECTS across four semesters. Its grouped blocks move from oldenburg foundations and methods to master’s thesis. The table is a planning summary of that official structure, not a promise that every elective runs in every term.
| Component | ECTS | Where it sits |
|---|---|---|
| Oldenburg foundations and methods | 30 | Semester one |
| Stavanger migration study | 30 | Semester two |
| Internship and partner focus | 30 | Semester three mobility |
| Master's thesis | 30 | Semester four completion |
| Total | 120 |
- Regular duration: four semesters
- Complete award: 120 ECTS
- Current module handbooks and timetables control elective availability

Elective titles, research topics and practical opportunities can change with staffing and partner capacity; verify the current module handbook before enrolment.
Should an Indian applicant shortlist University of Oldenburg MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations?
For the right applicant, MA European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations aligns an eligible prior record with oldenburg foundations and methods and later independent assessment. That alignment can’t be inferred from the master’s name or a selective consortium route; it also has to survive language and funding checks.
This specialist Master of Arts culminates in master's thesis. It doesn't promise an employer, a salary result or relief from the published language condition.
The material limitation is specific: This is a fee-based, compulsory-mobility Erasmus Mundus programme; travel, visa and relocation demands sit outside the standard Oldenburg budget. A complete funding case also can't depend on wages that haven't been earned.
