This thesis analysed the representation of the migration topic within the two widely read newspapers in the UK, The Daily Mail and The Telegraph during the Brexit transition period lasting from 01.01.2020 until 31.12.2020. Using thematic analysis, the study investigated 53 articles across this period, the research has concluded that the representation of migration remained negative throughout the timespan, the ambiguity of the different terms was as prevalent, which led to the newspapers discussing and articulating migration as an economic and national security threat to the country. Grounded within the Security Theory of Copenhagen School, this thesis argued that the government has been conveying and securitising migration, which was then depicted by the media editorial board. The labels prominent in the media depiction were “illegal”, “criminal”, and “low-skilled” contributed to the establishment of the security threats.  Additionally, this research attempted to answer the question of how migration was securitised, which was largely uncovered by the thematic analysis. The study has revealed that migration is largely presented in terms of societal threat, which is followed by an argument on increased border control and a threat to British identity and sovereignty. It has been established the securitisation was influenced by the contextual background of the state rather than by migration
