The primary objective of the program is to provide students with effective and efficient graduate-level education covering the fundamental functions of international trade and enabling them to specialize in specific areas of international trade. The Master’s Program in International Trade is primarily geared toward preparing students for professional life. This program enables students to gain a strong theoretical background in international marketing, international economics, and international business, with a special emphasis on the process and impact of globalization.
In this program, students will examine topics such as how the world is connected through trade and how it affects businesses as producers and exporters.
