Each year, the School of International Arbitration organises along side the LLM modules, about six co-curriculars that focus on certain topical and practical topics of international arbitration. The typical format of a co-curricular is to invite an arbitration professional give a presentation and have another practitioner comment on it. The discussion is moderated by an academic from the School. They aim to enhance the focus on arbitral practice and offer an opportunity to students on SIA’s dispute resolution courses to hear different perspectives on issues that they studied during the LLM. Program. Such co-curriculars is another way to nurture the deep relationships that the School – scheduled to celebrate its 40th Anniversary in September 2025 – has built with the wider arbitration community.
