Bachelor in International Trade

International Trade examines how goods, services, and capital move across borders, covering topics such as global supply chains, trade policy, customs regulations, international finance, and cross-cultural business negotiation. Students typically study economics, marketing, logistics, and business law alongside courses focused specifically on export-import procedures, trade agreements, and foreign market entry strategies. Case studies and simulations are common, giving students practice analyzing real trading relationships between companies and countries. Career paths include roles in import-export management, supply chain and logistics coordination, international sales, customs brokerage, and trade policy analysis, with many graduates working for multinational corporations, freight and logistics firms, or government trade offices. This bachelor's program runs for 4 years and is taught in English at Istanbul Okan University in İstanbul, Turkey. Istanbul's position as a historic trading hub linking Europe and Asia gives students a practical backdrop for studying global commerce. The program suits students interested in business who want an international focus, combining core management training with a specialization in the mechanics and regulation of cross-border trade.
