The faculty of law at University College Dublin is inviting applications for its professional diploma course in international arbitration, which begins next January.

The course is aimed primarily at solicitors, barristers and those with a legal qualification. However, other professionals with appropriate experience (for example, auctioneers, engineers and architects) may also be accepted on to the course.

This is a 12-week programme consisting of evening lectures and seminars followed by an examination. The cost of the course is £1,850. For more information, contact Liesanne Dean at (01) 716 8754 or e-mail liesanne.dean@ucd.ie
