Students of the Master in Anti-Corruption Studies (MACS) and International Master in Anti-Corruption Compliance and Collective Action (IMACC) of the 2021 cohort have both successfully concluded live session of their sixth modules. The sessions began on 9 January and ran until 3 February. The modules of both programmes delve into the areas of “Anti-Corruption Enforcement” (MACS) and “Anti-Corruption Compliance, Monitoring and Evaluation” (IMACC).

The classes were taught by several well renowned experts, such as Ambroise Auge, Michael Callan, Fabian Espejo, Claudia Escobar Mejia, Guillermo Jorge, Tan Sri Abu Kassim, Guido Palazzo, Mark Worth, and Milda Zilinskaite.

The MACS students had courses on national anti-corruption strategies, whistleblowing and whistleblower protection, investigating and prosecuting corruption cases, corruption in the judicial sector, and asset tracing, recovery and management.

The IMACC students have been learning about whistleblowing and whistleblower protection, monitoring and evaluation of compliance systems, anti-corruption compliance for SME’s and ethical frameworks for anti-corruption compliance. They also took part in two compliance labs on establishing whistleblowing systems and developing a code of conduct.

The students are now working on their assignments in the post-study phase, while preparing their research proposals in advance of their graduation in December.
