Objectives
The aim is to offer students and professionals additional training in arbitration law, both domestic and international, focusing primarily on private law. The training is primarily of interest to those who wish to specialize in business law.
The university diploma aims to present arbitration first through its fundamentals (its history, its philosophy), then by following the path of an arbitration proceeding, from the arbitration agreement to the enforcement of the award and possible remedies. Both students and professionals will thus be able to acquire both theoretical and practical knowledge of arbitration, a rapidly developing method of dispute resolution.
In order to attract as many professionals specializing in arbitration law as possible and to reach an audience of both students and professionals interested in arbitration, the university diploma courses will be taught remotely via the TITAN platform of the University of Montpellier.
Know-how and skills
All courses are taught by arbitration specialists, whether academics or lawyers. Professors from various universities may be invited to speak, as well as lawyers from leading international business law firms. Foreign practitioners may also provide an overview of comparative arbitration law. Lectures will be given in French or English.
Organization

• Three-hour written exam, compulsory attendance in Montpellier for half a day at the end of the academic year (end of June or beginning of July)
