Our Economics for Competition Law Postgraduate Diploma is a distance learning course (with two residential weekends) suitable for practising lawyers, regulators, academics and those with a specific need for knowledge of Economics for Competition Law. On completion of the course, you will have a firm understanding of the increasingly important role that economics plays in competition law and an understanding of when economic analysis is needed for a particular competition law case. Our course has been specifically designed for economists and lawyers in private practice, in-house legal advisers and representatives from the national competition authorities. This programme is generally studied by professionals alongside their full time work commitments.
“This course was highly recommended by regulatory colleagues and I would also recommend it to others. It is a perfect fit for those wanting to further their education at a reputable university while working full-time. As a distance learning student, I found the online content and weekend seminars to be helpful in providing interaction with the instructors and fellow students.”
