Overview
Designed for practitioners, judges, and academics, this course at UCL explores key aspects of mediation, including preparation strategies, facilitation techniques, and the interplay between psychology and ethics. It also examines international developments, such as the Singapore Convention on Mediation and its growing influence on cross-border dispute resolution.
Mediation is increasingly recognised as a preferred alternative to litigation, with jurisdictions worldwide embracing mandatory mediation policies. In England and Wales, recent reforms allow courts to compel parties to mediate, making mediation expertise more essential than ever. The Singapore Convention, now in force, is transforming international mediation by standardising enforcement mechanisms, further underscoring the importance of understanding how mediation intersects with arbitration.

This course will appeal to:
- Practitioners: Lawyers, mediators, and dispute resolution professionals seeking to refine their skills.
- Judges: Those ordering or supervising mediations or considering mediation’s role in judicial processes.
- Academics: Researchers and educators interested in mediation and ADR developments.
Whether you are an experienced mediator or new to the field, this course offers valuable perspectives and tools tailored to your professional needs.
