It offers students cutting-edge scholarship and provides them with a solid foundation for fresh and innovative thinking about international trade, investment, intellectual property and other related subjects. Its greatest strength is the extremely high caliber of the students that it enrols and the diversity and backgrounds of its faculty.” - Edward Kwakwa (WIPO)
