WTO Internship...Help urgently needed.

Hi guys,
I'm interested in international trade and I'm working towards a career as international trade analyst (specializing in Middle East and or China). I want to apply for WTO (World Trade Organization) internship. This internship is open only students and the requirements states that I should have finished at least one year of Master's degree. The problem is in the UK, the Masters programme lasts for only one year. Also by the time I'm done I would no longer be considered a student and would not be qualified to apply.

As a result, I defered my Master till next and currently doing a language course in France. Do you think I should take my chances and apply or I should just forget about it. Any advice on how to enhance my chances of getting an offer from WTO would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks guys

Either contact them direct to explain the circumstances or apply and see how it goes.

No, that is wrong.
They say that you should have finished at least one year of a postgraduate degree course.
