The role of law in international trade affairs is more complex than ever due to the blurring of the public and the private. In our post-graduate programme, LL.M.

This course on WTO Laws aims to address the role of public law in International Trade.
This course on the World Trade Organization's legal system aims to discuss fundamental legal principles and procedures involved from two perspectives, “Trade in Goods” and “Trade in Services”.
