Master's students from around the world for equal opportunities in globalization
International Trade, but Sustainable
By funding a one-year Master's program at the WTI, you can give students from emerging economies the opportunity to study in an international, interdisciplinary environment and benefit from the WTI's long-standing expertise in global economic governance.
Making Global Trade Work for Everyone
Global trade is one of the major achievements of our time. Yet its benefits are not shared equally across regions. In emerging economies in particular, globalisation can exacerbate economic inequality.
Bridging these gaps requires well-trained leaders who can harness the opportunities of global trade for the benefit of their countries and help build more sustainable economies.
Hosting research fellows from all corners of the world has been an eye-opening and mutually rewarding experience and has led to many sustainable research partnerships across borders.

Research and Education at the Intersection of Law, Economics, and Political Science
The World Trade Institute (WTI) at the University of Bern is a leading international interdisciplinary institution that conducts research and offers educational programs starting at the master’s level.
The institute focuses on international trade regulations and international investment, placing it at the intersection of law, economics, and political science.
The WTI has a large international network of partners, which enables the targeted collection and analysis of data to identify key challenges facing international trade and the global economy and to develop solutions.
