Recent and Planned Changes to the Law on Immigration of August 29th, 2008 regarding Employment of Non-EU/EEA/CH Master’s and PhD Graduates of the University Luxembourg

The Law on Immigration of 29^th August, 2008 regarding the employment of graduates of the University of Luxembourg is changing.  In addition, the Luxembourg Parliament has now before it a bill that provides for the extension of residence permits of Master’s and PhD graduates for the purpose of looking for employment in Luxembourg.

The links to the above changes in law and the draft law are precised below. The University of Luxembourg believes they will have a positive effect on the ability to employ non-EU/EEY/CH graduates of Master’s and PhD study courses. (Kindly note that these changes do not concern internships.)

Present at this information session will be representatives from the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance of the University of Luxembourg, representatives from the Immigration Directorate of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, and a representative from the Employment Development Agency (ADEM), see hereafter the details.
