I undertook the Postgraduate Diploma in International Commercial Arbitration because I was becoming involved in International Arbitrations in connection with Expert Witness appointments in my role with Hill International and wanted to gain a detailed understanding of this area of dispute resolution. The course also offered a specialist module in International Construction Contracts which dovetailed with my own experience and has put the knowledge gained on the course into context. I have thoroughly enjoyed the Diploma and it has genuinely exceeded my expectations with the interesting content and areas covered. The structure of course allowed flexibility which enabled me to plan and balance study and work commitments. The knowledge of the tutors and the quality of the materials provided were exceptional and I can now say with confidence that I have gained a detailed and meaningful understanding of international commercial arbitration which provides a solid foundation for my future involvement in this arena.
