This course will provide students with the most up to date developments in immigration and asylum law; learning about the sources of law.
The Immigration and Asylum Law short course is taught over 10 weekly classes at City's central London location.
The course is aimed at those without formal legal immigration/asylum law training but with an interest in this area.
It is an area of huge current interest within the media and relevant to all workplaces. Tutored by industry experts, the programme is based on expert knowledge and gives the flexibility of allowing you to continue working whilst developing new skills and abilities.
Students will be provided with refusal letters and case determinations in order to understand what the decision maker is considering, e.g. in a spousal refusal the judge may be examining the intention of the parties.
Then discussion is held on the evidence that can demonstrate intention. Case scenarios are given to students drafted in a similar way to examination questions so those students who wish to progress their career in immigration law may be better prepared.
This part-time Immigration and Asylum Law course covers areas such as nationality, visiting the UK, points based system applications from students and workers, marriage and family applications, asylum applications and appeals, human rights impacting on immigration and asylum matters, European Union law, removal, deportation and appeals.
