Course summary

About the Course

This course will be available for 2024/25 entry

The LLM by research is designed to provide students with a deeper and greater platform of understanding of the hard law and soft law regulation of Migration and Refugee law that is now regarded, justifiably or not, by policymakers and law enforcement agencies as a global challenge. The migration of significant numbers of people seeking a better life in the economically developed and more prosperous parts of the globe has become a key challenge for the host destinations. Moreover, the mass movement of refugees desperate to escape conflict and persecution has also become an increasingly prevalent consequence of the breakdown in internal and external order. Indeed, taken together, it is increasingly difficult for host states to distinguish between the two broad typologies of voluntary and forced population movements and thus establish appropriate regulatory frameworks to deal with the challenges. The need for highly skilled individuals employed in the supportive, regulatory, policing, and developmental aspects of Migration and Refugee law is likely to continue to grow in the coming decades.

The core rationale of this course is to provide postgraduate students with the opportunity to develop research focused, advanced, and evaluative understandings of the national and international regulatory and policy frameworks governing and shaping International Migration empowering them to design and undertake advanced legal research, theoretical or applied or both, by completing three 20 credit taught courses and a significant research project rated at 120 credits on an aspect of International Migration or Refugee Law. The course is rated at 180 credits.

Why choose Liverpool Hope?

The Liverpool Hope University School of Law and Criminology provides students with the opportunity to reach their highest potential, by expanding their horizons and developing their knowledge, understanding and critical thinking skills within the disciplines of law and criminology with the ultimate goal of enhancing their knowledge of either subject for the purposes of furthering their passion or for a career in a legal or a criminological field.

Being a small school means that you get to know us quickly, and we get to know you. This enables us to support you in a way that the larger universities may not be able to. The school prides itself on excellent teaching quality recognised by a recent independent review, which specifically identified approachable staff providing close academic support.

Careers

This course should be of particular interest to candidates, both domestic and international, who are law graduates who would like to practice or are already employed in these areas of practice or indeed support or enforcement, or exceptionally graduates of other disciplines with significant experience of employment in the regulatory and enforcement aspects of voluntary and forced migration with a desire to develop their knowledge and expertise of the regulatory areas.

The target audience also includes law graduates who would like to go on to research careers in these areas of the law. The award may also be of interest to individuals working in non-governmental organizations already operating in the field of migration and immigration law, and governmental agencies tasked with law enforcement that operate staff development sponsorship schemes.
