The program aims 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 specialised 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 Network for Legal Studies on Migration and Asylum in Europe, one of the leading research and training organisations in EU migration and asylum law, founded in 1999 with the financial support of the European Commission.
The program offers the opportunity to live in 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 fifteen participants specialising in migration and asylum with diverse backgrounds and coming from all over Europe. Upon completing the Master’s program, our graduates can value the technical knowledge they have acquired in migration and asylum law on the labour market. They work for European institutions and agencies, international organisations, NGOs, migration law firms, and national ministers for home affairs. The Executive Master’s has also enabled our graduates to reorient their careers towards migration and asylum.
Welcome on board!
