Students/Projects

The study program is intended to be a platform for collaboration and exchange between established researchers. The aim is to support the students' skills in the best possible way. The students are involved in externally funded research projects at the University for Continuing Education Krems. In this way, they can contribute to the development of science in the field of Migration Studies through independent research.
