By the end of the course, students should be able to demonstrate a greater awareness of international laws that protect refugees. A greater understanding of how refugee legislation relates to other international human rights legislation. An ability to identify the rights of refugees under international legislation, and an increased awareness of the importance of protecting refugees before and after granted refugee status.
