PRESENTATION
The aim of the program is to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the legal rules on migration and asylum adopted by the EU. It is of interest to all persons who wish to acquire such special knowledge, for instance EU or national civil servants, lawyers or judges, workers from international organisations and NGOs, researchers and PhD students who frequently confront the complex legal dimension of migration and asylum in their work. The program is organised by the Odysseus Academic Netowrk for Legal Studies on Migration and Asylum in Europe, one of the leading research and training organisation in EU migration and asylum law founded in 1999 with the financial support of the European Commission.
The program offers the opportunity to live a unique EU bubble with professors coming from several Member States, as well as speakers from EU institutions. It offers an intellectually stimulating experience as part of a group of ten to fifteen participants specialising in migration and asylum with different backgrounds and coming from all over Europe.
On completing the Master’s program, our graduates can value on the labour market the technical knowledge that they have acquired in migration and asylum law. They work for European institutions and agencies, international organisations and NGOs, migration law firms and national ministers for home affairs. The Executive Master has also enabled our graduates to reorient their careers towards migration and asylum.
Welcome on board!
