Trade Management Asia
Asia’s recent economic transformation has created a strong and growing interdependency of businesses in Europe, the United States and Asia for production, import/procurement and export/sales. Companies (both domestic and international) currently increasingly need people who can manage and drive international business across these continents. Consequently, today’s professionals are required to work with people from a multitude of cultures, most likely Chinese, Indian, Japanese and Korean. At the moment the demand for young professionals who understand Western and Asian cultures and speak European and Asian languages is growing steeply, as they can bridge the gap between East and West, facilitating growth, both in European and in Asian companies.
We will provide you with the theoretical tools, practical experience and confidence to help set you off on an exciting career in commerce and trade, working with or in the Asian country of your choice.
Our approach will allow you to increase your understanding of the link between business practice and theory throughout the four-year programme. You will discover that one of the most enjoyable parts of the course is working together in small, project-based teams with students from all over the world. Upon successfully completing this programme, you will graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.
