The Postgraduate Diploma in International Dispute Resolution - Arbitration not only provides an understanding of the theoretical, practical and ethical problems relating to International Dispute Resolution, but also provides a stepping stone for professionals becoming more involved in international alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes.

You will be taught by the School of International Arbitration, a centre for research and teaching in International Arbitration and Dispute Resolution at Queen Mary.

There are two distinct International Dispute Resolution diploma routes to choose from, Arbitration or Mediation.

• Deepen your understanding of the conceptual framework of the area, as well as introduce you to the current issues and debates within the discipline.
• Give you an international and comparative approach to the subject.
• Provide you with a comprehensive arbitration curriculum with in-depth coverage of arbitration theory and exposure to arbitration practical issues (including how to draft arbitration awards)
• Give you a detailed overview of a wide range of arbitration-related courses (commercial arbitration, construction arbitration, investment arbitration, ADR, litigation, substantive commercial law).
