Teaching international commercial arbitration at postgraduate level – techniques for enhancing students' learning

The international commercial arbitration modules that are increasingly taught at postgraduate level at British universities seem to be quite popular among students who have not obtained their first law degrees in the UK. Whilst the seminars, which require a great deal of independent study, may be a valid mode for teaching postgraduate students who have graduated in the UK, the same may not be true for teaching postgraduate students who have obtained their first degrees abroad. The aim of the article is to identify the teaching methods that should be used, in order to foster seminar discussions and encourage the postgraduate students who have not obtained their first degrees in Britain to understand the relevant material by reading widely. The project involved the use of a number of teaching techniques by the author for a trial period (i.e., an academic year). The study clearly showed that if we want to promote a “deep approach” to learning when teaching international commercial arbitration, then we need to adopt a mix of teaching methods that considers the individual interests, needs and abilities of each individual student.
