Specialization introduction

Major introduction

A practical program that teaches you how to conduct cross-border trade using internet platforms, blending business and technology.

Program overview

Cross-border e-commerce, simply put, teaches you how to sell products abroad through the internet. You'll learn how to set up shops, select products, run marketing campaigns, and manage international logistics and payments on platforms like Amazon, AliExpress, and TikTok Shop. Core courses include Cross-border E-commerce Practice, International Trade, Online Marketing, Supply Chain Management, and E-commerce Law. This program is perfect for students who are interested in both business and the internet, enjoy interacting with people from different cultures, and have a flexible mindset. Chinese universities have a natural advantage here: China is one of the largest cross-border e-commerce markets in the world, and many schools collaborate with companies like Alibaba, JD.com, and Pinduoduo, giving you direct access to real-world cases and internship opportunities. For example, universities in Hangzhou, being close to Alibaba, often have corporate mentors sharing practical experience in their courses.

Major prospects

现在全球跨境电商还在快速增长,尤其是东南亚、拉美这些新兴市场。中国作为“世界工厂”,有大量优质商品需要卖到海外,同时也有不少中国品牌(像小米、Shein)在出海。国际学生如果懂自己国家的市场和文化,会很有优势——比如你可以帮中国公司开拓你家乡的市场,或者把中国的好产品介绍给同胞。值得关注的方向包括:独立站(自己建网站卖货)、社交电商(用TikTok、Instagram引流)、以及AI工具在选品和客服中的应用。这个领域变化快,但机会也多,适合喜欢挑战的人。

Career prospects

毕业后可以去跨境电商公司(比如赛维时代、安克创新)、外贸企业、国际物流公司(如菜鸟、顺丰国际)、电商平台(亚马逊、速卖通)等。常见岗位有:跨境电商运营(负责店铺日常打理、优化listing)、海外市场推广(做Facebook广告、网红营销)、供应链管理(协调采购、仓储、发货)、数据分析(分析销售数据、用户行为)。刚入行薪资大概在6000-10000元人民币/月(一线城市),有1-2年经验后能到1.5万-2万。国际学生如果中文流利,还可以做跨文化沟通或海外市场拓展,薪资会更高。
