Forced Migration (29 January-11 March 2014)
Forced migration is one of today's major international challenges and lies at the heart of the fundamental concepts of humanity and equality. War, conflict, environmental and human catastrophes, as well as the effects of globalisation and economic polarisation, compels individuals to move in search of safety and stability. This e-learning course introduces participants to the international and regional systems and standards of refugee protection from historical, legal, theoretical and practical perspectives.

Labour Migration in a Globalised World: Obtaining Rights, Development and Governance (5 March-15 April 2014)
Regulating labour migration, protecting migrants and ensuring that migration saves development in industrialised countries as well as contributes to development in the South are governance issues of the century. This course is intended to better equip all those working on migration with critical knowledge of the evidence base, the normative and policy frameworks, and practical measures to obtain rights protection and governance on labour migration.

Psychosocial Consequences of Migration (5 March-15 April 2014)
After leaving the stability of home, country and culture, migrants are exiled into countries where they often feel alienated or isolated. They struggle against discrimination and face violations of their basic human rights. This e-learning course introduces the psychosocial and mental health consequences of migration and the practical issues related to the provision of multidisciplinary culturally sensitive interventions. It will also address the issue of the stress experienced by humanitarian practitioners while working with affected populations.

EU Migration and Asylum Law and Policies (30 April-10 June 2014)
The EU is one of the central players in the international community in terms of migration and asylum legislation and policies. This course will focus on the various aspects of EU immigration and asylum law, in particular: institutional aspects; the development of a Common European Asylum System (CEAS); policies on legal migration, including admission of immigrants for labour migration; the rights of third-country nationals in the EU, and their integration in European societies; irregular migration, and measures to combat it; border controls and border security; and the protection of asylum seekers and refugees.

Human Trafficking and Smuggling (30 April-10 June 2014)
Decreasing opportunities for legal migration and increasing economic and security complications in countries of origin often force people to migrate irregularly. They often end up being victims of exploitation for labor or sex. This e-learning course analyses the concepts of migrant smuggling and human trafficking. It also discusses various practical cases from around the globe and existing policies and practices of prevention and prosecution to combat these crimes and protect and address the needs of victims.
