Bachelor in Immigration and Asylum Law (BIAL045)
Bachelor in Immigration and Asylum Law (BIAL045) at LSTH
The Bachelor in Immigration and Asylum Law (BIAL045) is a three-year undergraduate degree for students who want a serious legal grounding in how the UK manages migration, sponsorship and protection. It is built for people who are interested in the law that surrounds movement of people — the same law that shapes hiring across hospitality, tourism, aviation and the wider service economy.
Unlike a short diploma, the bachelor builds a structured progression from the underlying legal framework through to applied casework topics, including the asylum and protection routes. The Bachelor in Immigration and Asylum Law is not a solicitor qualification by itself — that path is governed separately — but it is a robust academic foundation for further legal training or for paralegal and compliance work.
Why This Degree Sits Inside a Tourism and Hospitality School
Tourism and hospitality are among the most mobility-dependent industries in the UK. Sponsored chefs, seasonal workers, performers on temporary visas, international students on placement, families seeking protection: the legal architecture that governs all of that touches the sector daily. Studying immigration and asylum law at LSTH gives the field a practical operational context that purely abstract programmes can miss.
Who the Bachelor in Immigration and Asylum Law Is For
- Students considering a future legal career and interested in human-movement law.
- Aspiring paralegals, caseworkers or compliance officers in firms, charities or in-house teams.
- Career-changers from HR, social work or the voluntary sector who want a degree-level grounding.
- International students with a strong interest in the UK migration system (please check current Home Office guidance for your own visa route).
Where Graduates Typically Progress
Graduates often progress into paralegal roles, junior caseworker positions at firms or charities, in-house immigration compliance work for large employers (including hotel groups), or further legal study toward a regulated qualification. Some move into policy and research roles for NGOs and think tanks. We are deliberately careful not to overstate outcomes — the regulated advisory routes have their own gateways beyond a degree.
How the Programme Is Delivered
The Bachelor in Immigration and Asylum Law is delivered across three years, combining lectures, seminars and casework-style exercises. London's concentration of immigration practice means students see live discussion of cases and policy throughout. Mode and module structure are confirmed at enrolment.
