PRESENTATION

The aim of the program is to provide its 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 in international organisations and NGO’s, researchers and PhD students who frequently confront the complex legal dimension of immigration and asylum in their work. The program is organised by the “Odysseus Academic Network  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 support of the Odysseus program of the European Commission.

The program provides the opportunity to live in a unique European bubble with professors coming from many different Member States as well as speakers from the EU institutions. It offers an intellectually stimulating experience as part of a group of twenty to thirty participants specialising in migration and asylum with different backgrounds from all over Europe where internal and external networking is encouraged.

On completing the master’s program, our graduates can value on the labor market the rare knowledge that they have acquired in migration and asylum law. They work for European institutions & agencies, international organisations and NGO’s, migration law firms & national ministries for home affairs. This executive master has also enabled our graduates to reorient their careers towards migration and asylum.
