The course EU Migration Policies is designed for Master students of the Faculty of Social Sciences, enrolled in Czech or visiting MA programmes. It offers a basic overview of the complex framework of EU migration policies.

Aim of the course

During the lessons, students will familiarise themselves with the basic terminology on migration, the international legal framework relevant to the protection of migrants, and the development of EU migration policies in primary as well as secondary law, with a special focus on the asylum agenda.
