The three distinct articles which form this paper-based dissertation focus on highly qualified migrants of the first and second generation, and their experien-ces in terms of microaggressions, cultural and language skills, and the interre-lation between cultural identity and bridging skills. The articles expand existing migration knowledge by looking into the experiences of highly qualified mig-rants as research has focused more on the challenges and problematic integ-ration of low qualified migrants, leading to a distorted and unbalanced picture of migrants. The articles not only concentrated on the highly skilled, but also on their individual experiences, and thus provide a more comprehensive insight into the realities of migration.
