“The World Trade Institute (WTI) is a centre of excellence of the University of Bern and its Faculty of Law. It was the first, and is the most experienced, institution in the world offering a specialised postgraduate degree in the law and economics of international trade regulation through its flagship Master of International Law and Economics (MILE). It also offers a Summer Academy, provides consultancy services and acts as a host institution of the Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research on Trade Regulation.”

“The LL.M. in International and European Economic and Business Law prepares participants for the challenges of work in an increasingly global legal environment. The program benefits from the excellent infrastructure and beauty of the Dorigny campus directly on the shore of Lake Geneva and offers courses taught in English by respected academics and many practitioners from the international institutions in nearby Geneva. The program is sufficiently specialized to allow students to understand the complexities of international business and leaves them at enough flexibility to choose among multiple courses in the areas of International Economic Law / WTO Law, European Union Law and International Business Law.”

“The “Master of Advanced Studies in International Organisations” is designed for all those who wish to acquire or deepen specialist legal knowledge in the field of international organisations because they are working in this field or are planning to do so. With its emphasis on both, theoretical knowledge as well as practical, case related solutions, the programme will enable participants to qualify for positions in international organisations and provide them with a valuable advantage in the respective labour market.”

“This new LL.M. program, with a prestigious faculty from all over the world, offers a unique opportunity for advanced legal studies in the field of business. Crossing the traditional boundaries between Civil Law and Common Law, among others, this course of study addresses all pertinent areas of private and public law, preparing students for careers in the private sector as well as in government and international organizations. In addition to law, instruction in crucial aspects of ethics, sociology, psychology and anthropology is also provided, together with an introduction to core transnational and international economics for business lawyers.”

“ The Executive M.B.L.-HSG is an 18-month program equipping practitioners with a solid generalist knowledge in European and international business law. Juridification of business makes sound knowledge of this area essential not just for lawyers but for all executives involved in decision making in an increasingly global and regional economic environment. Our primary goal is to provide you with knowledge that you can use in your professional working life. But the program does far more. As a competent generalist you will be in a position to transfer your new skills to other fields and to move confidently into new areas of activity.”
