Master Langues Etrangeres Appliquees — Techniques du commerce international

The tuition fee is 292 USD per year.

Techniques du commerce international, offered within the Master Langues Etrangères Appliquées at Université de Lille in Roubaix, focuses on the operational side of international trade. As a discipline, it covers the practical mechanics of moving goods and services across borders: customs procedures, international contracts and incoterms, trade finance and payment methods, logistics and supply chain coordination, and the regulatory frameworks that govern cross-border commerce. Combined with the applied foreign languages structure of the program, students build this trade expertise alongside advanced proficiency in at least two foreign languages, since international trade roles routinely require communication across language barriers. Graduates typically work as import-export managers, international logistics coordinators, or customs and trade compliance specialists within companies that buy, sell, or ship goods internationally. Others take on roles in supply chain management or procurement, where understanding international trade regulations and documentation is essential to keeping goods moving smoothly across borders. The combination of technical trade knowledge and language skills also supports roles at freight forwarders, trading companies, and international divisions of larger firms that need staff able to manage both the paperwork and the cross-cultural communication involved in global commerce. This is a two-year master's program, and while it develops skills in several foreign languages, the degree itself is taught in French, requiring solid French proficiency. It is based in Roubaix, part of Université de Lille's campus network in the north of France. The academic year begins in September, and yearly tuition is 250 EUR, consistent with the standard public tuition rate for master's programs in France.
