Master WOCC: Contemporary Challenges in the Worlds of Work

The Master EMJM WOCC (Contemporary Challenges in the Worlds of Work) is an innovative, bilingual international master's degree focusing on the contemporary transformations of work and employment. Coordinated by the Université de Lille alongside five global partner universities across Europe and the Americas, the two-year program offers students a multi-degree mobility path to study labor market dynamics from diverse geographic and academic perspectives. The curriculum is structured across four key axes: global work dynamics, public policy analysis, contemporary issues such as sustainability, diversity, mental health, and digital transformation, alongside practical research competencies. Students spend their first and fourth semesters at the Université de Lille, completing semesters two and three at partner institutions in Canada, Argentina, Belgium, Spain, or Italy based on their selected specialization track. Designed for graduates in social sciences, law, economics, or humanities, WOCC prepares candidates for three main career paths: doctoral research, public policy analysis in international organizations, and practitioner roles in corporations, trade unions, or non-governmental organizations. Mandatory internships and institutional study visits further ensure practical integration into global labor fields.
