Welcome to COMPAS

The University of Oxford's Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS) conducts high-quality research, develops theory and facilitates knowledge exchange in the field of migration.

COMPAS analyses what migration means at local, regional, national and global levels. We investigate the dynamics and impacts of migration and the factors that influence the movement of people and their sense of identity and place.
