Immigration and Asylum Law

Immigration Law is a widely discussed topic – and a consideration within all workplaces. Our 10-week Immigration and Asylum Law course, taught by professional lawyers, provides in-depth knowledge of immigration law today.

Our Immigration law course covers a broad range of areas and applies these to practical and real case scenarios, similar to those dealt with by immigration lawyers.
