Mediation & Conflict Resolution

Programme Description:
This Postgraduate Certificate will challenge traditional views of conflict, and encourage students to develop a reflective, theory-based approach to the application of mediation skills. Practical instruction and exercises will take place within a theoretical framework, and students will take an active part in their learning.
