About the Course

This MOOC provides insight into the refugee phenomenon as one of the most complex, compelling and (arguably) misunderstood features of the 21st century. Taking a global perspective, it will outline the fundamentals of who ‘refugees’ are, where they come from and where they go, as well as delving into the features of the global system for refugee protection and ‘solutions’ for those who have been forcibly displaced. It places the student at the centre of the learning experience through engagement with a range of robust and challenging activities, materials and online peer engagement....

There was really no special teaching in this course and the videos and explanations were very short and insufficient. The course focused more on discussion and students opinion than teaching

Professor David and Professor Sarah provide extensive knowledge about the processes of mass migration in the 21st century, recognizing the regions with the highest percentage of people seeking international protection in another country. It is necessary to know these circumstances, not only for general knowledge, but to offer support from the professional field, in my case, as an immigration adviser.

Excellent course introducing the subject of refugees, migration, internal displacement/forced migration and the legal and ethical frameworks to support these groups. It enables questions on understanding, challenges perception and pre-conceived ideas, and enables thoughts on the future challenges. Excellently organised.

It is a very informative and useful course. It helps me a lot to understand refugees' crises. Evaluate new and emerging challenges in the refugee field. I gain the skill of apply critical thinking when I apply legal and policy categories to reflect on factual scenarios. I enjoy taking this course, and I recommended it.

The course is worth it .I have leant a lot from peers and Lecturers from the videos and shared materials and information from various countries in the world.What has come out clearly is lack of respect to humanity and political will to create a peaceful enviroment where resources are equatably shared.

I had little knowledge about who refugees are and how difficult situations are they forced to go through. This course helped me learn the differences between migrants and refugees and the challenges they undergo amidst displacement in large numbers inviting deep worries to the host countries.

Quedo bastante satisfecha de haber concluido este curso. Aprendí bastante sobre derechos humanos, migración y la gran tarea que queda por delante para este sector de la sociedad. Este curso me ha motivado a adentrarme aún más en el estudio de derechos humanos y diplomacia. ¡Muchas gracias!

Last month when I was watching news I saw people falling from the last plane leaving Afghanistan. It was horrible and decided to understand their actions of desperation and wanted to know the root causes of IDP's and refugees.

The course provides relevant knowledge on different categories of displaced persons. Who are refugees? What does the term IDP stand for? How does International Law address the problem? Let's take the course!
