MISEI is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in inclusive education sciences, run by three universities: the Université de Lorraine in Metz, which coordinates it, the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, and the Université de Neuchâtel. It trains specialists in socio-educational inclusion for executive and senior executive roles in public administration and the private sector.
The degree runs 120 ECTS over four semesters. Semester 1 in Metz covers theoretical foundations and social-science method; semester 2 in Milan covers the management challenges of inclusive education; semester 3 is a specialisation the student chooses; semester 4 back in Metz is an internship plus the master thesis. Teaching alternates between French and English, and both languages are used throughout.
The mobility page gives two semester-3 tracks — Interculturalité et Discriminations at Metz and Interactions Sociales et Éducation at Neuchâtel — while the courses catalogue lists a third, Social Justice and Inclusion, at Wien Universität in Vienna. The first cohort began in September 2025 with 28 students from around the world.
