Bachelor in International Trade and Logistics

International Trade and Logistics focuses on how goods, services, and information move across borders and through supply chains, combining economics, business, and operations management. Typical coursework includes international economics, trade law and customs regulations, supply chain management, transportation and warehousing, and international finance, often supplemented by courses in a foreign language relevant to trade partners. Students learn to analyze shipping routes, inventory systems, and trade documentation, and many programs include simulations or case studies modeling how companies coordinate the movement of goods from manufacturer to end customer. Because global trade depends on regulatory compliance as well as efficiency, the curriculum usually addresses customs procedures, tariffs, and international trade agreements alongside more operational logistics topics such as freight forwarding and inventory control. Graduates typically find roles in logistics and supply chain companies, freight forwarding firms, import-export departments of manufacturers, and customs brokerage, with some moving into international business development or procurement roles. This bachelor's program is offered by Maltepe University in İstanbul, Turkey, and is taught in English over 4 years. İstanbul is a major port and trade hub, connecting Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, which gives students a practical vantage point for studying international trade flows and logistics operations. An English-taught program in this field allows students to build vocabulary and analytical frameworks used across the global logistics industry while studying in a city where trade and shipping are visibly part of the local economy. Applicants should review the specific elective offerings and any language or internship requirements set by the faculty before applying.
