Department of International Trade and Business Administration

International trade and business play a significant role in the economic development of countries, in helping businesses expand into international markets, and in securing a sustainable competitive advantage in an increasingly globalised world. Today, businesses operate not only in local markets but also on an international scale; they require a skilled workforce capable of making strategic decisions in the face of changing consumer expectations, digitalisation, global supply chains and international economic developments. In this context, the discipline of international trade and business stands out as one of the key areas contributing to businesses’ ability to operate effectively in a global competitive environment.

The International Trade and Business Management undergraduate programme at Konya Food and Agriculture University aims not only to equip students with theoretical knowledge in the fields of business and trade, but also to develop them into individuals who can apply this knowledge to real-life problems, think analytically, conduct research, question assumptions and generate solutions. Thanks to the university’s specialised structure, students have the opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the needs of the food, agriculture and related sectors and to specialise in these fields.

The Department of International Trade and Business Management aims not only to provide education at the level of national and international academic standards but also to equip its students with the skills to conduct research, analyse data, evaluate the business world and interpret changing global economic conditions. The Department aims to produce graduates equipped with the knowledge and competencies to contribute to enhancing the international competitiveness of businesses operating in various sectors, particularly the food and agriculture sectors.

The International Trade and Business Management undergraduate programme at Konya Food and Agriculture University offers students a comprehensive education through its structure that combines theoretical knowledge with practical application. Taught in English, the programme equips students with expertise in areas such as international trade, business management, marketing, finance, economics, entrepreneurship and data analysis, whilst also providing opportunities for individual development tailored to their interests and career goals through elective modules from various disciplines.

Thanks to the programme’s practical courses, internship opportunities, project work and industry partnerships, students have the chance to gain an in-depth understanding of the business world and put their theoretical knowledge into practice. In line with this, the primary objective of the International Trade and Business Programme is to produce graduates who possess the knowledge, skills and competencies required by the global business world, are committed to ethical values, think innovatively, are highly competitive at an international level and are well-prepared for professional life.
