International Online School in Forced Migration
Forced migration and refugee movements are defining issues in the world today. While needs are growing, the political will to provide protection to those who are displaced is, in many countries and regions, declining, as states respond to conflict and the climate crisis by preventing people from moving and curtailing rights. The need for intellectual engagement and leadership on forced migration has never been more important. Yet, the challenge for practitioners and policy-makers is finding the time or space for reflection and learning. Our International Online School, recognised worldwide as a leading event of its kind, provides you with this space.
In response to growing demand, and to ensure that our widely acclaimed teaching is as accessible as possible, the Refugee Studies Centre’s International School in Forced Migration will be held three times during the 2025-2026 academic year:
- 8 -12 December 2025
- 16 - 20 March 2026
- 22 - 26 June 2026
The School reflects our commitment to the highest academic and pedagogical standards in research and teaching. It offers a programme of study on forced migration that is rigorous, evidence-based, and inclusive.
Participants receive access to pre-recorded lectures, readings, and exercises ahead of time, preparing them for a week of live seminars, discussions, and debates led by leading experts. Alongside the academic content, the programme includes networking and social opportunities to foster lasting professional connections.
