Flexible Learning, Real-World Trade Law: My Experience at WTI

As a full-time professional based in Asia, I needed a strong foundation in international trade law but required flexibility. WTI’s format made that possible. I attended classes in person whenever I could and joined online when work or travel required it—the online experience worked seamlessly, and recordings ensured I never fell behind.

The program is thoughtfully designed, covering the key areas of trade law in sufficient depth to support both professional and academic ambitions, while offering well-chosen interdisciplinary options.

What truly sets WTI apart is its practical focus. Lecturers—often combining academic and practitioner perspectives—bring the law to life with concrete examples and real-world insights. They consistently bridge the gap between what WTO agreements say and how trade law operates in practice. For anyone seeking a rigorous yet applied understanding of international trade law, this program delivers.

I cannot count the times lecturers said something like ’Okay, this is what the WTO agreement says, but in practice you should know that…’.
