Master's students from around the world for equal opportunities in globalization
International Trade, but Sustainable
Support a one-year master’s program at the WTI for students from emerging economies, which offers them the opportunity to study in an international and interdisciplinary environment and allows them to benefit from the WTI’s many years of experience in global economic governance.
Making Fair Use of the Opportunities Offered by Global Trade
Global trade is a major achievement of our time. However, not all regions benefit equally from global developments. In emerging economies in particular, globalization can lead to increased inequality among the population.
To bridge these gaps, we need well-educated leaders who can strategically leverage the benefits of global trade for their countries and thereby build a sustainable economy.
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.
