BSc in International Economics and Trade

Course Overview

The International Economics and Trade programme at NUIST combines traditional economics, trade theory and modern digital-economy courses — such as e-commerce, digital finance, and data-driven trade — giving students skills relevant for global markets. The programme’s English-taught format and international-student support make studying accessible to students worldwide. Over many years, the department has grown its teaching staff, built partnerships with industries and government, and extended research and exchange opportunities. Graduates leave with a formal bachelor degree, international-level training, and a range of skills suited to trade, business analysis, finance, and global commerce roles. Many alumni pursue further studies or enter international companies, making the degree valuable both in China and abroad.
