Course Overview
The diploma not only provides an understanding of the theoretical, practical and ethical problems relating to international mediation, but can also provide a stepping stone for professionals to become involved in international alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Traditional online modules are supplemented by a residential weekend that concentrates on practical negotiation and mediation exercises. The diploma is aimed not only at lawyers, but also at other professionals who may be involved in mediation - be it as a disputant, representative or perhaps as a mediator: a legal qualification will not be a prerequisite for admission, although you will be expected to appreciate that the course will involve an understanding of law and legal implications. References and materials will be legally orientated, but this will enable the non-lawyer to be better equipped to deal with the issues raised in international business mediation. Law as a subject is particularly suitable for online learning as it is primarily text-based, so delivery of teaching materials is not restricted by bandwidth limitation. Most of the relevant materials for law are available in digital format from databases such as Kluwer, Lexis and Westlaw, which you will access through your Queen Mary account. This programme will: Give you a thorough grounding on all major issues arising in day-to-day international mediation practice. Promote academic research of the highest standard on selected topics of interest. Allow flexibility to enable you to plan and balance your study and work commitments.
