It is offered at the World Trade Institute in cooperation with the Faculty of Law of the University of Bern, as part of their Continuing Legal Education (“Weiterbildungsprogramm in Rechtswissenschaft”).

The WTI attaches great importance to its teaching methods. Courses consist of lectures and case studies, offering students opportunities for classroom discussions, group workshops, and individual research.
  • The MILE begins with a foundational semester during which students are given a solid basis in international economic law, international economics and global political economy. The second semester consists of lectures and seminars that deliver an in-depth analysis of relevant topics in international trade, investment and economics. In addition to the courses offered during the autumn and spring semesters, students are able to take, as part of their programme, WTI Winter and Summer Academy courses
