The distinctiveness of the programme lies in its coherent provision of postgraduate level study in the area of International Trade Law. Students on this programme will develop a specialised and detailed knowledge of the law concerning international trade.

Further, the development of research skills in public international law is central to the design of the programme, in particular the module concerning Research Methods.
