General Info

courseProgram

The course aims to illustrate and analyse the legal framework of different forms of human mobility within and into the European Union, looking at the interaction between the treatment and legal status of migrants and refugees within the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) and the management of the EU's internal/external borders. By linking the treatment of these categories of third-country nationals to the EU's integrated border management system, the course aims to shed light on how the latter interferes with the enjoyment of fundamental rights by non-Europeans and, consequently, on the fragmentation of the statuses of third-country nationals within the AFSJ. The ultimate aim of the course is to provide students with a taxonomy of migration conditions ranging from the actual mobility status enjoyed by EU citizens and their family members to the non-mobility status imposed on asylum seekers, highlighting the main legal issues related to this way of regulating human mobility, also in the light of the reform of the New Pact on Migration and Asylum.

Specifically, Module I of the course introduces students to the key concepts of human mobility, freedom of movement, Schengen cooperation, the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ), the Common Immigration Policy and the Common European Asylum System (CEAS), and the Global Approach to Migration and Mobility (GAMM), providing the hermeneutic tools to understand and articulate the interaction between these areas of EU competence and the integrated management of its external borders.

ATTENDING STUDENTS
The final exam grade consists of three elements: (i) evaluation of active participation in the lectures and in-class training sessions; (ii) evaluation of the in-class group/training activities; (iii) evaluation of the final written assignment, generally in the form of a short essay on a central legal issue or a case law commentary. In order to pass the examination as an attending student, it is necessary to guarantee attendance (also remotely) at 90% of the lectures and to participate in all the training sessions, as well as to hand in the short essay or case law commentary by the deadline indicated by the professor. The outcome of the examination will be communicated and recorded as a result of the correction of the writing assignment. The grade will be expressed in thirtieths and will therefore result from the level of knowledge of basic topics. The student's mastery of the topics covered in the course, reasoning and argumentation skills, the ability to study case law in depth, the level of knowledge acquired and the ability to present it clearly in writing will be assessed.

NON-ATTENDING STUDENTS
The final examination will be oral, necessarily in presence, and will cover all the topics in the syllabus. In addition to the textbooks, it will also be mandatory to study the supplementary materials (legislation, jurisprudence, doctrine) available on the Moodle platform. The examination consists of five/six questions aimed at ascertaining both the understanding of the theoretical arguments and the ability to resolve questions of an applicative nature relating to the topics covered in the course. The grade will be expressed in thirtieths and will therefore result from the level of knowledge of basic topics. The student's mastery of the topics covered in the course, reasoning and argumentation skills, the ability to study case law in depth, the level of knowledge acquired and the ability to present it clearly in writing will be assessed.

Specifically, Module II of the course starts from the theoretical framework of key concepts on the relationship between the regulation of human mobility and migratory statuses in the European Union, provided in Module I, to illustrate the ways and processes through which the regulatory and institutional infrastructure of the integrated management of EU external borders affects migrants' mobility rights and access to effective judicial protection.
