Students of the Master in Anti-Corruption Studies (MACS) and the International Master in Anti-Corruption Compliance and Collective Action (IMACC) 2024 cohort have completed the live-session phase of their sixth module. The live sessions began on 8 December 2025 and ran until 20 January 2026. The modules focused on the topics of “Anti-Corruption Enforcement” (MACS) and “Due Diligence, Corporate Investigations, Ethics, and Collective Action” (IMACC).

The classes were taught by renowned experts in the field, namely Tan Sri Abu Kassim, Lloydette Bai-Marrow, Samuel De Jaegere, Fabian Espejo, Giovanni Falcetta, Antonio Greco, John Hatchard, Guillermo Jorge, and Mark Worth.

The MACS students, having already acquired a solid understanding of the legal and institutional frameworks for tackling corruption, moved further into the enforcement area with courses relating to national anti–corruption strategies and anti-corruption agencies; corruption in the judicial sector; corruption and organized crime; and asset tracing, and recovery.

The IMACC students deepened their knowledge of corporate investigations and took part in an investigation lab, while also enhancing their understanding of corporate and individual liability for corruption and cooperation with regulatory and law enforcement bodies. In addition, students gained a deeper insight into collective action in various sectors, as well as completing a due diligence lab.

Both classes also completed a course on internal investigation, open-source investigation, and crisis management in business enterprises and gained in-depth knowledge about whistleblowing and whistleblower protection.

Both classes will now work on their assignments due in February and will continue their research for their master’s theses, which they are expected to defend later in the year.
