OVERVIEW
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 online in March this year.
The Refugee Studies Centre always sets the highest academic and pedagogic standards in its research and teaching. Our International Schools offer a programme of study on forced migration that is theoretically rigorous, empirically informed, and inclusive.
Participants will be provided with a wealth of learning materials to engage with before their School starts, including pre-recorded lectures, exercises, and readings. During the School, participants will attend and participate in seminars, discussions, and debates. The School’s demanding academic content will be complemented by a range of social and networking opportunities.
ABOUT THE ONLINE SCHOOL
The RSC’s International Online School offers an intensive, interdisciplinary and participative approach to the study of forced migration. It enables practitioners and others to reflect critically on the forces and institutions that dominate the worlds of displaced people. The International Online School combines Oxford’s tradition of research excellence with stimulating, discussion-based teaching, learning, and reflection.
Core to the School are substantive modules on:
- Conceptualising Forced Migration
- The Moral Foundations of Refugeehood
- International Law and Refugee Protection
- The Politics of Humanitarianism
These are supplemented by optional modules on a range of topics. This year we will be offering options on:
- The Psycho-social Support of Refugees
- Trafficking and International Law
- The Rise of Citizenship Stripping Across the West
- Colonial Past, Refugee Present
All our modules are written and taught by experts in the field of forced migration studies.

Description of Ideal Candidate
PARTICIPANTS - WHO IS THE SCHOOL FOR?
The International Online School is principally designed for policymakers and practitioners working on refugee protection and related issues, normally with several (usually at least five) years of work experience. Participants typically include staff of the main refugee, migration and humanitarian international organisations; staff from refugee, human rights and humanitarian NGOs; and government officials working on refugee protection and related issues. Those from refugee backgrounds who work for refugee advocacy and community groups are particularly welcome.
Participants may also include academics and postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers working directly on refugee and forced migration issues; practicing lawyers and advocates working in refugee and human rights law pertaining to forced migrants; journalists, commentators and activists working on refugee protection and the human rights of forced migrants.
What is distinct about the Online School is that it allows participants to participate from wherever they are in the world, with no need to travel.
A survey of participants on the 2021 Online Schools found that 100% believed the Schools had “deepened their knowledge” of forced migration. Participants describe the Schools as “life-changing” and “a huge inspiration” that featured lectures of the “highest quality” and were “exceptionally well-organized and efficiently run”.
