International construction law is gaining both importance and popularity because of the excellent and highly paid career opportunities and the increasing number of international construction projects. This intensive course offers the opportunity of gaining the competitive advantage of becoming fluent in the usage and application of the FIDIC Conditions of Contract. These contracts are used in the construction industry worldwide, particularly in the context of higher value international construction projects, and are endorsed by many governments and financial institutions.The course will deal with all major stages of implementation of international construction projects starting from the formation of the contract, going through its performance up to its completion or termination. Dispute resolution will also be discussed with an emphasis on adjudication and arbitration. Legal issues will be examined from both a civil law and a common law perspective. Relevant case law will also be quoted.By completing this course participants will have an excellent opportunity to gain a thorough understanding of this specialised area of law. Participants will acquire a legal basis that will enable them to conduct and communicate legal analysis in relation to key topics in the field of international construction law. Moreover, by the end of the course they will acquire enhanced problem solving skills when it comes to the settlement of construction disputes. It is also expected that the course will enhance the contract drafting skill of the participants.The teaching approach to the topic will be both academic and practical. The course will focus on the most important problems that may occur in practice. Thus, the course aims to bridge the gap between theoretical thinking and its practical application.
