Our Alumni
Rodrigo Sandoval
For me, the PhD at the IUEM meant not only training for a critical understanding of human mobility with rigour, quality and excellence, but also the prestige of doing so in an academic community internationally recognised for its commitment to effective, concrete and rights-based responses to its most urgent challenges.
Maria Vitores
This PhD has given me the opportunity to develop other professional facets that allow me to integrate my experience and newly acquired knowledge.

The doctoral programme covers various aspects and geographical areas. The professors are highly experienced. The results of the Institute's research make it a reference. Today, from the Holy See, I help the Churches in Africa to accompany people who have been forced to migrate.
