PG Diploma in International Dispute Resolution - Mediation M2D4

The core module, entitled Alternative Dispute Resolution, interprets the subject as a truly interdisciplinary field comprising law, social science, economics, psychology and others. This is a newly emerged and vibrant area of scholarship, hence it is impossible to give yes or no answers to most of the questions. Accordingly, the module will employ critical thinking and an open discussion approach. It is expected that students will be willing to share results of their research and be involved in active discussion of all issues.
