How do I apply?

If you are interested in applying, please fill out an application.

What is the total cost for this program?

In 2010, there is an $800 fee for the course in Budapest, Hungary.  This fee includes tuition, lunch, and 2 coffee breaks.  Lodging and other food costs are not included. Participants are also responsible for the cost of transportation to and from the course site.

Can I provide my own accommodations and meals?

Forced Migration 2 is not a residential course, which means that you can choose whichever accommodations you wish. Lunch and 2 coffee breaks will be provided during the course. Other meals are the responsibility of the participant. We have blocked off a limited number of rooms at the European Youth Centre, Budapest, where the classes are being held. We recommend staying there since rooms are relatively inexpensive. If participants would like to stay there, please mention the CIHC when making your booking.

Where and when is this course taught?

The Forced Migration course is taught once a year. Please refer to our Calendar of Events for future dates and locations.

What language(s) is this course taught in?

Currently, the Forced Migration program is only taught in English.

Who are the preferred candidates?

The entry qualification for the course is a university degree or equivalent professional qualification or experience. Preference will be given to students with humanitarian field experience, emergency, development, or migration.

Is academic credit granted for this course?

With the recent approval of the Masters in International Humanitarian Action (MIHA) at Fordham University, all CIHC courses offered in 2010 can be counted toward the Masters. Two academic credits can be received upon successful completion of this course.

How long is this course?

The course runs for approximately one week.

When is the final date to apply?

Applications are taken on a rolling basis.  Once the course has been filled, a waiting list will be implemented.

Is it possible to defer my acceptance to another Forced Migration course?

No, deferment is not permitted. A participant must reapply for the following Forced Migration course.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please view our complete cancellation policy.

If accepted, do I need a visa?

Depending on your citizenship, you may need a visa.   Upon acceptance to the program, our staff will send you an invitation letter to the program, which can be used to apply for a visa. Although we may be able to provide assistance in obtaining you a visa, it is the participant’s responsibility to obtain his/her visa.
