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 a professional lawyer, 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.

You will examine refusal letters and case determinations in order to understand the decision-making process and discuss evidence that can demonstrate intention.

This short course may be beneficial as a taster for those considering studying a degree in Law as it will provide a taster before committing further.
