Introduction
Stockholm is internationally recognized as a leader in the field of arbitration, known for hosting numerous arbitrations and home to one of the most active and respected arbitration institutes, the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce. The Department of Law at Stockholm University offers extensive postgraduate programmes and supports specialized institutes that attract students from around the world. Accordingly, Stockholm is a natural place to engage in intellectually vigorous study of both the theory and practice of international commercial arbitration.
Stockholm University has developed a unique Master of Law programme in international commercial arbitration. It uses a variety of teaching formats, emphasises student participation in the learning process, and provides opportunities for students to apply theory in simulated arbitration exercises. Students from a broad range of backgrounds will participate in a dynamic learning experience where the multifaceted aspects of arbitration are considered from a range of comparative perspectives and always with an inquiring mind and a hands-on, problem-solving approach. Besides having the benefit of the faculty and resources of the University, the program enjoys the support and contributions of prominent practicing lawyers who are internationally recognized in the field.

The programme begins with a comprehensive course that requires substantial on-going preparation and active student participation during the 20-week fall term. The course employs a comparative and international approach. While the course emphasises a solid theoretical understanding of the principles, concepts, and rules governing arbitration, it also explores practical issues that face parties, legal representatives, arbitrators, and courts. A variety of types of arbitral proceedings will be considered, both ad hoc and institutional forms. The lectures and seminars will be conducted by Professor Lars Heuman and Dr. Patricia Shaughnessy, as well as guest lecturers who can provide experience and knowledge in specific areas. Attendance is obligatory and student participation in the course will be considered in assessing the student's performance and final grade.
