Bachelor in International Trade and Logistics

International Trade and Logistics examines how goods, services, and capital move across borders, combining principles of economics, supply chain management, and business administration. Coursework typically covers topics such as global trade policy, customs procedures, freight and transportation systems, warehousing, procurement, and international marketing. Students also study how firms coordinate sourcing, production, and distribution across multiple countries, and how trade agreements and tariffs shape commercial decisions. Quantitative subjects like statistics and operations research are usually paired with courses in international business law and finance to give graduates a rounded view of cross-border commerce. This 4-year bachelor's program is offered by Social Sciences University of Ankara in Ankara, Turkey, with instruction delivered in English. Students engage with case studies drawn from shipping, retail, and manufacturing industries, learning to analyze supply chain networks and evaluate the costs and risks of moving goods internationally. Group projects and simulations are common ways to practice negotiating contracts, planning logistics routes, and managing inventory across different markets. Graduates of this discipline pursue careers in freight forwarding, customs brokerage, supply chain analysis, procurement, and international sales. Some continue into logistics management roles within multinational corporations, while others work with export-import firms, ports, or government trade agencies. The program's location in Ankara places students within reach of Turkey's administrative and commercial networks, offering additional context for understanding trade relationships between Turkey, Europe, and neighboring regions.
