The MA is a unique and innovative interdisciplinary program that provides students with the academic knowledge and practical skills to resolve disputes between parties in a non-adversarial manner. Upon successful completion of the MA, students receive both a QQI Level 9 academic qualification. Dispute resolution is one of the fastest-growing fields and academic disciplines both in Ireland and internationally, offering professional opportunities in the corporate, legal, educational, political, HR, health, and community settings, as well as many others.

The MA in Dispute Resolution focuses on a wide range of non-adversarial dispute resolution processes including arbitration, mediation, conflict coaching, and negotiation across a number of different sectors, including family, commercial, construction, and workplace. The curriculum is interdisciplinary, combining concepts from the law, business management, international relations, policy studies, sociology, psychology, and organizational development.

The mixture of experience-based learning through role-plays and formal lectures by industry experts will give students a hands-on understanding of a full range of this exciting and fast-growing sector and it is designed for individuals new to the field, as well as for professionals who want to enhance current capabilities and skills in their chosen field. The MA in Dispute Resolution is as much practical as it is academic. The focus of the faculty teaching the course is to provide students will the skills of dispute resolution along with the theory to support those skills.

Protection of Enrolled Learners

Independent College has the approval to offer students learner protection insurance. Learner Protection insurance is only in place when each student receives their Insurance Policy.’ Each learner should ensure that they receive a Learner Protection Insurance Policy in their name. Learner Protection insurance is provided by O’Driscoll O’Neil and underwritten by Hiscox Insurance Company Limited. The learner protection policy provides for a refund of fees as specified in the 2012 Act. In some circumstances, it may be possible for a learner to transfer to a similar program in another provider. In such circumstances, the learner may opt to receive the cost of an alternative similar academic program. Transferring to another program is always only a second option. The learner protection insurance policy is governed by s. 65(4)(b) of the 2012 Act.’

Aims & Objectives

The Masters of Arts in Dispute Resolution (MADR) is a one academic year full-time Level 9 program providing essential theory, in-depth knowledge, research skills, and training to those who wish to develop essential skills for the resolution of civil and commercial disputes; for the resolution of family and community disputes; for those who wish to practice as professional mediators; and for those who wish to deepen their academic learning with specialist knowledge of the field. Dispute resolution as a field of learning continues to grow in the educational sector. There are a number of factors for this growth including the fact that a number of educational institutions are now recognizing dispute resolution as an emerging area of academic importance; heightened public awareness and interest in the dispute resolution sector due to increased judicial support for processes such as mediation; and increased coverage by the Irish media for the potential of dispute resolution processes as cost and time-efficient methods by which disputes may be settled. This growth continues having regard to the enactment of the Mediation Act No. 27/2017 which was commenced by S.I. 591 of 2017.

In the program design for the MADR, the team was keen to balance the requirements of Level 9 education (in terms of learning outcomes, self-directed study, and learner support) with the demands of industry for highly skilled graduates with the ability to apply those skills acquired in an educational setting.

The program aims to produce graduates with both the practical skills necessary to carry out mediations and negotiations together with theoretical knowledge underpinning the field. Moreover, the program aims to produce highly skilled independent researchers. It is important to emphasize that the MADR is not simply a training program. Certainly, given the nature of the field, there are practical/training elements to the program, however, it is also a theoretical program with a requirement that graduates gain specialist in-depth knowledge of the field and that they produce independent research of their own which reflects that standard. The relative significance of the theoretical elements of the program and the practical application of the same is achieved by the proposed changes to the structure of the program.

The overall aims of the MADR are as follows:

To provide learners with knowledge and understanding of the fundamental theories, concepts, and methodologies of dispute analysis.
To provide and develop professional competence in the techniques necessary to define and assess disputes.
To provide and develop the skills necessary to employ a methodical and critical approach to challenges in the management and resolution of disputes.
To equip learners with the ability to communicate strategies and solutions in conflict contexts.
To provide learners with the knowledge and foundation to pursue further postgraduate study.
To facilitate the development by the learner of applied skills that are directly complementary and relevant to the workplace.
To enable the learner to identify, develop, and apply analytical creative problem-solving, and research skills.

Accreditation

This is a one-year postgraduate master's program that is QQI accredited. Students will graduate with an internationally recognized master's in Dispute Resolution.

Undervisning og vurderinger

Programmets undervisnings- og læringsstrategi er utformet slik at studenten kan gå gjennom de teoretiske og praktiske konseptene på en ordnet og logisk måte. Vurderingsstrategien er planlagt for å sikre praktisk anvendelse av modulens kjerneprinsipper og legge til rette for tilbakemeldinger, noe som underbygger den samlede læringsopplevelsen.

Hovedformålet med Independent College strategi er at undervisning og vurdering støtter læring. I tillegg støtter vurdering standarder basert på passende læringsutbytte. Programmets undervisnings- og vurderingsstrategi er informert av QQI Generic Award Standards. Programmets læringsmål (PLO), modulens læringsmål (MLO) og kandidatens egenskap informerer også denne prosessen.

Gjennom hele programmet vil elevene oppleve et variert utvalg av undervisnings- og læringsstrategier, som selektivt velges, basert på nivå, modulinnhold og egnethet til vurdering. De fleste moduler vil primært bli levert gjennom en blanding av forelesninger og praktiske workshops, med veiledninger på plass for å støtte der det er nødvendig. Typisk vil materialet bli presentert under forelesninger og workshops, materialet som presenteres under forelesninger og workshops har blitt gjort tilgjengelig i forkant av kontakttiden, med støttende dokumentasjon / ressurser også tilgjengelig via Moodle for elevene.

Man ser for seg at elevene skal assimilere mye av materialet gjennom problemløsing og praktiske øvelser. Det vil bli lagt vekt på å la elevene undersøke beskrivelsene av oppgavens problemstillinger og prøve mulige løsninger på verkstedene. Opplæringsprogrammer vil bli brukt for å gjøre det mulig for elevene å få hjelp, forsterke vanskeligere fagstoff og gi elevene muligheten for hjelp til et spesifikt problem.

Undervisningen vil fokusere på at eleven bruker ferdighetsløsende ferdigheter på eksisterende programmateriale. Ferdigheter vil bli utviklet gjennom en rekke mekanismer, for eksempel:

Integrerte opplæringsprogrammer med bransjens engasjement.
Problembaserte læringsøvelser med fagutøvere.
Medlevering og gjesteforelesning om fokusert pensuminnhold.
Søknadsverksted økter, diagnostiske og feilsøkingsferdigheter.
Case study analyse, gjennomgang, kritikk - reflekterende lærings- og skriveferdigheter.
Blended learning og Flipped Classroom-levering
Regissert e-læring

Formativ vurdering vil være en integrert del av læringsreisen for eleven, med tilbakemeldinger på løsningene på problemer som presenteres i klasserommet og gjennom oppgaver som kritiseres og utfordres i læringsmiljøet. Dette vil gjøre det mulig for risikovurdering og en kontinuerlig forbedringsprosess å bli en del av løsningsdesignet.

I tillegg er undervisnings- og læringsstrategien informert av Independent College overordnede undervisnings- og læringsstrategi, vurderingsordningen og den modulspesifikke undervisnings- og læringsstrategien.
