Department of International Trade

Hello students, I am Şule Nur BAHTİYAR. I am a 4th-year student in the International Trade Department at Balıkesir University, Burhaniye Faculty of Applied Sciences. Our department aims to educate young individuals who want to excel in the field of international trade and receive quality education. We study economics and business administration courses. Additionally, we take courses on quantitative analysis, international trade, and service sector-related subjects. We have computer labs where we receive training on the programs necessary for our business life in the field of international trade. Our department does not have a mandatory internship program. However, students who are interested can participate in internship programs in private companies and institutions by submitting their resumes. Graduates from our department can find employment in various departments of companies engaged in international trade. They can also work as customs consultants or international trade specialists if they pass the exams conducted by institutions. I have always loved trade since childhood, and I believe that the general system is also built on trade. Therefore, when I took the university entrance exam, this was my goal, and I chose my department accordingly. When I learned that I passed the university entrance exam, I started researching universities. First and foremost, Burhaniye is a beautiful district. Students can live here comfortably and safely. Our university is also very student-centered and focused on solving students' problems. We can easily contact and communicate with our professors and even the dean when we have any problems. That's why I chose Balıkesir University. We benefit from the knowledge of our professors, and we have a library that has been developed and renewed together. We frequently use it. After graduation, I want to develop myself in my field and establish my own company, and I want to work in a field closely related to my department. My recommendation for candidates considering our university is to maintain a good relationship with mathematics, and to make it a habit to closely follow the stock market and current affairs. I wish the best of luck to students who will take the university entrance exam. We are waiting for you at Balıkesir University, Burhaniye Faculty of Applied Sciences, International Trade Department.
