In addition to the general and intensive courses and the clinical workshops, students take a choice of two term-long, weekly optional courses drawn from a list of more than 30 classes relating to international dispute settlement or in neighboring fields. These classes are drawn from the regular curricula of the Graduate Institute and Law School. An even broader course offer, including classes in international relations, political science, economics and history is available to the students, on condition of prior approval by the Program Director.
