Program overview
Trade Economics, simply put, teaches you how to do business in domestic and international markets. You'll learn basic economic theories like supply-demand relationships and price mechanisms, but the core is applying these theories to real-world trade. Courses include International Trade Practice, International Finance, Marketing, Business Negotiation, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, and Cross-border E-commerce. Many Chinese universities leverage local free trade zones, ports, or foreign trade enterprises to arrange field trips or internships—for example, visiting Yiwu Small Commodity Market, Shanghai Yangshan Deep-Water Port, or cross-border e-commerce parks to see how real trade operates. This major suits students interested in business, enjoy interacting with people, and are passionate about cross-cultural communication. If you're decent at math and willing to learn negotiation skills and contract terms, you'll find it quite manageable.
