Twenty-eight students of the Master in Anti-Corruption Studies (MACS) and International Master in Anti-Corruption Compliance and Collective Action (IMACC) of the 2023 cohort have both completed the live session phase of their second Module and have now acquired skills and knowledge on the legal and institutional frameworks to tackle corruption.

The live sessions began on 23 January and ran until 16 February 2024. The MACS module focused on the topics of “Corruption, Law, and International Initiatives” and the IMACC module on “Anti-Corruption Compliance and Collective Action: National and International Legal Frameworks and Initiatives”.

The classes were taught by renowned experts in the field namely, Brice Boehmer, Eduard Ivanov, John Hatchard, Pallavi Roy, Andrew Spalding and Scarlet Wannenwetsch.

The MACS students acquired a solid understanding of the legal and institutional frameworks to tackle corruption, concentrating on topics such as corruption and the rule of law, human rights, illicit financial flows and upcoming areas such as climate change and corruption.

The IMACC students deepened their knowledge of the legal and institutional frameworks needed to tackle corruption, as well as focusing on the practical approaches of collective action efforts and anti-money laundering and financial crime protection systems.

Both classes are currently in their post-study phase, working towards completing their assignments before they begin their third module in March.
