Law: International Migration and Refugee Law
Master
Migration law is at the heart of many urgent legal and political debates. Who has the right to cross borders to work, study, or reunite with family? When is a state obliged to provide asylum? What legal protections exist for undocumented migrants? And how do international and European frameworks shape migration governance and national policies?
From a Syrian refugee seeking protection, to an American reuniting with family in Europe, or an Indian professional working for an international company. All face complex legal systems where international law, human rights and domestic law intersect.
The Master’s track International Migration and Refugee Law (IMRL) addresses these pressing challenges by examining the interplay between international, European and national law.
Are you ready to explore the legal dimensions of migration with both academic depth and societal relevance? Then this Master’s track at VU Amsterdam is the right choice.
