This course builds on the learning and knowledge gained in the Mediation
Theory and Practice course (completion of which is a prerequisite).
Students will be encouraged to critically evaluate current practices in
mediation and learn more advanced mediation techniques and strategies for use
in more complex situations.
A deeper understanding of
conflict theory and peace studies will form a core part of this course as will
the legal context in which mediators operate, both from a UK and international
perspective.

core part of this course as will the legal context in which mediators operate,
both from a UK and international perspective.
The course will culminate with an intensive one-week, on-campus session
at the University of Aberdeen, where students will have the opportunity to
practice and refine their skills as mediators in a supportive learning
environment. This will include numerous opportunities for role-play, enabling
students to consolidate their learning and develop the competencies required to
become a practising mediator. At the end of the on-campus week, students will
be assessed on their practical ability and skill as a mediator in a role-play
situation.
Successful students will have developed an in-depth understanding and
knowledge of all aspects of mediation and conflict theory and will also have
gained confidence in putting their skills as a mediator into practice.
