The first session, “A Historical Background on Migration,” was led by <\/span>Asst. Prof. Dr. Basiru Musa<\/span><\/strong>.

He gave a rich and detailed presentation on the history of migration in the United Kingdom and the post-Brexit migration policy. Mr. Bidwell highlighted the legal drivers shaping the British migration process, including the <\/span>points-based system<\/span><\/strong>, student visa reforms, post-pandemic health and social care visa reforms, and special considerations for migrants from Hong Kong, Afghanistan, and Ukraine. He also discussed the factors that influence the British migration process, such as domestic processing times, the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), and the Human Rights Act.<\/span><\/p>\n
