The MILE curriculum is interdisciplinary, combining law, economics and political science. Participants will study the global economy, international macroeconomics and applied economics, trade facilitation, competition law, investment law, dispute settlement, trade remedies and much more. The WTI attaches great importance to its teaching methods. Courses consist of lectures and case studies, offering students opportunities for classroom discussions, group workshops, and individual research.

The MILE begins with a foundational semester during which students are given a solid basis in international economic law, international economics and global political economy. The second semester consists of lectures and seminars that deliver an in-depth analysis of relevant topics in international trade, investment and economics.
