Department of International Trade and Finance

Hello guys, I am Professor Begüm Şahin. I am the Head of International Trade and Finance Department of Ostim Technical University, Faculty of Economic and Administrative Sciences. The Department of International Trade and Finance is a 4-year department that combines international marketing, international business, economics, foreign exchange management, foreign trade, logistics and many other disciplines. In our department, courses are given on topics that are very important today, such as business, economics, finance, law, entrepreneurship and e-commerce, and digital marketing. Our students benefit from our library, computer labs, smart boards in our classrooms and many other opportunities. Our students come together with the business world, and industry from the first year with the workplace education course. When they complete the 4th grade, we have experienced graduates. Our students can participate in student exchange with the Erasmus program and have the chance to study in different countries. They can also take an active role in international projects we conduct. Academicians in our department have the chance to attend many national and international conferences. In the same way, our students both support these conferences and can take part in all activities organized by our university. At the same time, we include our students in projects undertaken by many institutions such as TÜBİTAK (Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey). Our students have the chance to have a job in companies that focus primarily on international trade and engage in export, import and foreign trade. Apart from this, they have the chance to have a job in many different sectors such as manufacturing industry, logistics, finance and banking. World dynamics are changing rapidly. We want our students to become global citizens with developing technology in a globalizing world. Therefore, their awareness of foreign languages and all global problems must be high. Different cultures and communication with different cultures are really important elements for our department. Ostim Technical University is an industrial university. We have an ecosystem intertwined with industry, manufacturing companies and SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises). At the same time, entrepreneurship is very important for Ostim Technical University. We are trying to train our students in the spirit of entrepreneurship from the first year. Our international students ensure that different cultures come together at our university. In our department, we provide education with 100% English language. This provides a great opportunity for our graduates to expand abroad. I wish success to all students who are preparing for the university exam. Ostim Technical University is waiting for you for a good future.
