Certificate in Immigration Law and Practice covers key legislation

The Diploma Centre is inviting applications for the Certificate in Immigration Law and Practice, which offers an in-depth analysis of immigration law and its application in Ireland.

About the course 

The central pieces of legislation covered by the Certificate in Immigration Law and Practice course include the Aliens Acts, the Immigration Acts, the Refugee Act 1996, the Illegal Immigrants (Trafficking) Act 2000, the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Acts, the International Protection Act 2015, and the numerous statutory instruments covering immigration and citizenship.

Commencing on 7 November, the course scrutinises the manner in which this legislation has been interpreted over the years by the courts, the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) and by Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) together with the impact of Brexit.

Participants will be guided through the practical aspects of the law by experienced legal practitioners, members of the public sector, high-ranking representatives of international bodies, non-governmental organisations and large multinationals.
