Chairman's Message

The recent changes and developments taking place in information technology and international trade over the past decade have dramatically accelerated the pace of globalization. The world is becoming more homogeneous. Distinctions between national markets are fading and for some products will disappear altogether.  Participation in global business has begun to shift from a mere 'option' to an imperative. A change in business orientation is, therefore, urgently needed on the part of businesses in order to remain competitive in global markets. To survive, marketers and business people need to understand those global markets that are open to companies and competitors.

International trade program gives the students a solid background in the disciplines of marketing, economics, finance, management, service management, quantitative analysis, and communication technology in addition to specialization courses in international business.Since some of the specialization courses such as export-import management, international transportation and logistics, and international trade project are simultaneously carried out in the field and at the university, students have the opportunity to work within a company environment tying together both academic knowledge and practical skills.
