Overview
This course builds on foundational knowledge from International Trade Law I, offering an advanced exploration of South Africa's position in the global trading system. Students examine international legal frameworks governing trade — including SPS and TBT measures, trade remedies, agriculture, services, intellectual property, and digital trade — through a developmental and inequality-focused lens. The course also addresses African regionalism and informal cross-border trade, providing a nuanced understanding of formal and informal regulatory dynamics. By integrating theory, policy analysis, and real-world case studies, students develop the analytical tools needed to navigate complex global trade challenges. A quality-assured certificate from the University of the Witwatersrand is issued on successful completion.

    Course reviews

    • MAP was a great introduction to the commercial side of the business for a health professional like myself. I am now able to identify and leverage synergies between my department and others in the organisation. Because of the diversity and calibre of its students, WBS has helped me increase my network and I have recommended MAP to a number of my colleagues. It was an investment worth more than the rand value of the course – and motivated me to do my MBA!

    • Doing NMP with WBS has provided me with the basic and highly valuable skills as I prepare myself for a leadership role within my organisation. The programme had practical examples which I could relate to my real situation at work.
