Program Description

Since 2016 ROLACC, in association with the University of Sussex, has been providing an LLM in Corruption, Law, and Governance taught in Doha, Qatar. The course is run over two years (part-time) and is taught by highly qualified academics from the University of Sussex. The program was launched by H.E. Abdullah Bin Nasser Al Thani, the Prime Minister and Minister of Internal Affairs of Qatar, along with H.E Dr. Ali Bin Fetais Al Marri, the Attorney General of Qatar on the 2nd of October 2016.

The course is taught in ten week-long teaching blocks over two years and is based on the one-year full-time (or two-year part-time) MA course taught in the UK by the same teaching team.

About the School

During the Conference of the State Parties to the Third United Nations Convention Against Corruption, held in Doha in 2009, a proposal was made by HH The Emir Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani – may God protect him – for the creation of a centre based on the ideals of mutual cooperation and partnership building, with an international mandate to spread awareness and knowledge of the policies and tools necessary to prevent and combat corruption. The purpose of the centre would be to promote the latest methods and best practices currently available to address corruption and abuses of the rule of law, and through capacity building, training, conferences, and seminars undermine corrupt practices in the region.
