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.

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.
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.

There are no assessments for this course.
Feedback will be provided on all online activities and coursework submissions, as a matter of routine. Students will have the opportunity for feedback on examination performance. Students will be encouraged to use feedback in future assessments. Areas for improvement will be identified.
