A Message from Head of Department

History of exchange, transaction and trade is as old as history of humankind and they have gained an international interest with the borders that divide countries from each other started to emerge. Today, the importance of international trade has increased tremendously in terms of economics, politics and society. Long distance transferring of goods in vast amounts is the most important feature of international trade. International Trade is closely related not only to the dimensions of the production and GDP of the countries but also to the disciplines of macroeconomics, international economics, international management, international marketing and international finance.

When International Trade is mentioned, the first subjects that come to mind are import, export, customs, insurance and the rapid change in banking technologies and regulations.

International Trade is the crossing of the borders between countries and regions for exchanging goods, service, and capital transaction between businesses, individuals and corporations. International Trade has grown extraordinarily by means of industrialization, globalization, international corporations, transportation opportunities, increase in welfare of countries, widespread employment of subcontractor and underwriter companies. First outcome of these advances is the use of English as the medium of communication in international trade. 

After one-year English preparatory education, students continue their education with four-year modern undergraduate programme. This new department aims at preparing our students to business life and enabling them to work as executives and managers with internationally experienced academic staff and practical courses.

The medium of the instruction of the programme is English. Therefore, English preparatory school is compulsory.
