Content Analysis of the institutional, legal and policy framework of the visas and external borders policies, of the immigration policy (admission for different purposes and status of immigrants, integration policy, fight against illegal migration and return) and of the asylum policy (rules of content and of procedures) as well as of the external dimension of those policies.

For each issue, the main legal instruments (including the case law of the Court of Luxembourg and Strasbourg) and policy documents (conclusions of the (European) Council, communications from the Commission,...) are used.

The course is up-to-date and the very latest legal and policy developments are covered, including pending proposals for legislation.

Methodology used Writting of a blog entry on a subject related to the course proposed by the student (this means there is no other sort of exam).

The subject must obviously have a legal dimension and cannot be purely political, economical, sociological, etc

The subject and structure of the blog entry must be agreed in advance by the professor and shall be submitted by the student by completing the adequate formular available on the virtual university

This preliminary step before the drafting of the entry counts for half of the mark (see below).

The best entries may after review be published on the blog of Philippe De Bruycker: http://eumigrationlawblog.eu
