Bachelor in International Commerce

International Commerce, offered by Sogang University's Division of International Studies in Mapo-gu, South Korea, centers on the movement of goods, services, and capital across borders. Students study international trade theory, trade law, global supply chains, cross-border finance, and the regulatory frameworks that govern commerce between countries. The curriculum typically blends economics, business, and law, preparing students to evaluate market entry strategies, negotiate contracts, and manage logistics for companies operating internationally. Because trade activity depends on both quantitative analysis and cultural or legal understanding, students build skills in data interpretation alongside knowledge of trade agreements and customs regulations. The bachelor's degree takes four years to complete, with new students admitted in March or September each year. All coursework is taught in English, which makes the program approachable for international students who want to study commerce in South Korea without prior Korean-language study. Graduates typically move into roles such as trade specialists, import-export managers, supply chain analysts, or international sales and business development positions. Others join multinational corporations, shipping and logistics firms, or government trade agencies, while some pursue further study in international business or trade law. Studying international commerce from South Korea also places students close to one of the world's more trade-dependent economies, giving them a practical frame of reference for topics such as free trade agreements, export competitiveness, and regional economic integration covered throughout the program.
