“A world-class centre for the study of forced migration and refugees has been created at the University of Oxford. With its pioneering research and innovative Queen’sPrize Anniversary education and training programmes the Refugee Studies Centre has had a major constructive influence throughout the developed and developing world and has stimulated effective international networks. 2 The Centre has played a leading role in defining a new field of research and study. … It works closely with UN agencies such as the UNHCR and UNICEF and with international organisations such as the International Rescue Committee, Save the Children Fund, Oxfam and Médecins sans Frontières. Its seminal publications have helped to transform both perceptions and policies regarding refugees. Supporting statements: The Centre was the first academic “I have followed the work of the Refugee institution to offer a graduate degree in Studies Centre (RSC) closely for the past forced migration.

Traditional indicators of successful integration - for example, the upward mobility of refugees, employment levels and access to services - do not adequately cater for the breadth of refugees’ experiences and needs.
