The effects of increasing global production and trade, coupled with economic, social, and political developments, have led to the internationalization of capital, labor, knowledge, goods, and services. These developments and changes have also led to an increased need for personnel to be assigned/employed at both the international and national levels. The Department of International Trade and Business was established to train graduates who understand and resolve international business processes and the complexities that arise during these processes, and who can apply the knowledge and skills acquired in various functional areas to international businesses.

 

The Department of International Trade and Business has two departments: the Department of International Trade and Business and the Department of International Trade Policy.

 

This department is subject to the 240 ECTS credit first-stage degree system in higher education in the field of International Trade and Business. Successful completion of the program and fulfillment of the program requirements leads to a Bachelor's degree in International Trade and Business.
