Global Trade Management (Сlassiс)

The M.A. in Global Trade Management curriculum at Worms University of Applied Sciences is designed to equip students with specialized skills and practical experience in international trade, fostering a deep understanding of global business environments.

• Semester 1: The Core Elements of Global Trade
  Students develop fundamental knowledge in global trade, with modules such as "Strategies of Internationalization," "Foreign Trade Operations," and "International Economics." Courses in “Business Psychology,” “Leadership and Intercultural Management,” and “Project and Change Management” emphasize managerial skills, preparing students for future leadership roles.
• Semester 2: Advanced Business and Global Trade Skills
  Building on foundational knowledge, students tackle “E-Commerce” and “Global Market Research and Data Analytics” and select three elective modules from topics like Advanced International Controlling, International Supply Chain Management, and Analytics and Digital Consulting. The "Foreign Trade Consulting" module provides hands-on insights into current international trade issues.
• Semester 3: Placement Semester
  Students engage in a practical internship, applying their academic knowledge in real-world settings in Germany or abroad. This internship provides valuable professional experience and networking opportunities for a future career in global trade. It is possible to shorten the standard period of study from 4 semesters to 3 semesters by excluding the placement semester. These have to be proven by one of the following options: a) Bachelor's degree of at least 210 ECTS or b) relevant working experience of at least one year after the successful completion of the Bachelor's degree and prior to the commencement of the Master's degree program.
• Semester 4 (or 3): Master’s Thesis
  The program culminates with a Master’s Thesis, ideally conducted within a company, where students apply their expertise to address real-world challenges in international trade.
