Bucerius to Launch Summer Program in Mediation in 2012

Bucerius Law School in Hamburg, Germany has announced it will launch the Bucerius Summer Program in Mediation in the summer of 2012. The new, three-week program (July 22 - August 10) will start the same time as the four-week Bucerius Summer Program in International Business Law, which runs from July 22 to August 17.

According to the law school, the new mediation program will teach participants "how companies manage conflicts systematically and how conflict resolution projects are designed and implemented."

Meanwhile, the Bucerius Summer Program in International Business Law will run for its fifth consecutive year. It is designed to "broaden participants’ understanding of topics such as corporate governance, international M&A, commercial arbitration and many more."

Both programs are taught in English.

To be eligible for a 15-percent reduced tuition fee, applications for the program are due on January 15, 2012. Otherwise, all applications must be received by April 30.
