Bachelor in International Trade and Finance

This bachelor's program in International Trade and Finance is offered by Işık University, a private university in İstanbul, Turkey, and runs over a duration of 4 years, taught in English. International Trade and Finance focuses on the movement of goods, services, and capital across borders, combining economics, finance, and business coursework. Students study trade theory, foreign exchange markets, international banking, trade finance instruments, and trade policy, along with the logistics and regulatory frameworks that shape cross-border commerce. Coursework often includes customs procedures, supply chain management, and risk analysis for international transactions, giving students a practical view of how trade agreements and tariffs affect businesses. Case studies on multinational companies and emerging markets help connect theory to current trade patterns. Graduates work in banking, import-export firms, logistics companies, financial institutions, multinational corporations, and government trade agencies, or continue into graduate study in finance or international business. At Işık University, students in this program follow the standard structure of a 4-year undergraduate degree, combining foundational coursework in the first years with more specialized study later in the program, and typically complete a capstone or graduation project before finishing the degree. Being based in İstanbul gives students access to the city's academic institutions, industry, and professional networks alongside their coursework, which can support internships and early career connections in the local job market.
