In addition to the general and intensive courses, students must take two optional courses and participate in an international moot court competition, such as the Vis Arbitration Moot, the Frankfurt Investment Arbitration Moot, the Philip C. Jessup Moot, the ICC International Mediation Competition or the ELSA Moot on WTO Law. A limited number of students are also offered to take a professionals’ seminar on advocacy in arbitration hosted by the Foundation for International Arbitration Advocacy.

Optional courses are drawn from a select list of about 30 classes offered in the Graduate Institute and Law School curricula. Courses not on listed may be chosen with prior approval from the Program Directors. This also applies to courses in the field of international relations, political sciences, economics or history. In general, each optional course runs for two hours per week during one semester.
