International trade, whose importance is increasing day by day, is among the key elements of economic development. National economies are rapidly integrating into the global economy thanks to new technologies, the reduction of barriers to international trade and investment, and advancements in communication and information technologies. The competitive environment brought about by globalization makes international markets as important as domestic markets for businesses under today’s economic and market conditions. Moreover, in the process of accession to and harmonization with the European Union, it has become essential for businesses to have knowledge of this process in order to be able to operate in international arenas.

International markets present a highly dynamic structure, ranging from market structures and consumer behaviors to economic stability and geographical conditions. For this reason, companies that are obliged to participate in international markets not only seek new markets for their existing products but also need to develop goods and services that fit the cultural, economic, and social characteristics of target consumers, as well as design and implement marketing programs in line with these differences.

The aim of the program is to address the link between international trade and marketing and the diverse cultural, economic, political, and social needs with scientific clarity, by adopting an interdisciplinary approach required by the field and training professionals capable of making sense of such sociocultural, technological, economic, and political differences. In this way, the program is expected to contribute to the education of professionals—such as managers, foreign trade specialists, and marketing executives—who can interpret international differences, apply their knowledge in the field of marketing, play a guiding role in transforming intercultural and intersocietal differences into commercial gains, and make use of new communication technologies with an awareness of their significance for international marketing and trade. Furthermore, it is also intended to support the development of young scholars who wish to utilize this knowledge in the academic field.

Courses are generally conducted in classrooms, row-seating classrooms, and lecture halls located within the relevant faculties, allowing students to experience and become familiar with different learning environments.

In order to ensure the quality of higher education programs:

The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is responsible for the planning, organization, administration, and supervision of education, training, and other activities carried out in higher education institutions.

Within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK, “University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports” concerning higher education institutions are prepared and published annually. These reports, which include both quantitative and qualitative assessments of higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

Each year, YÖK also publishes the “Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report,” which contains academic, administrative, and financial data regarding foundation higher education institutions. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of such institutions, are also shared with the public by YÖK.

The quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is ensured in accordance with the “Procedures and Principles for Ensuring the Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs”:

1. Development and Approval of Curricula
1.1. YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the establishment of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.
1.2. The curricula of undergraduate programs and the intended learning outcomes of each program are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in line with the fundamental principles set by YÖK.
1.3. The curricula of National Core Education Programs are implemented by higher education institutions upon approval by YÖK, following their adoption by the relevant Council of Deans.

2. Assessment and Evaluation
The assessment and evaluation of the learning outcomes of each undergraduate program are carried out in accordance with the education, training, and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions, in line with the fundamental principles established by YÖK.

3. Certification
Students enrolled in undergraduate programs are awarded a bachelor’s degree diploma upon successfully completing the required course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions.

4. Self-Assessment and External Evaluation
Within the framework of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions upload their “Internal Evaluation Reports” for the previous year to the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK publicly shares the “Institutional Feedback Report” it prepares regarding the external evaluation of higher education institutions. In addition, accreditation decisions issued by accreditation agencies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also demonstrate that program qualifications have achieved quality assurance. In line with YÖKAK regulations, regular review activities are carried out with respect to the defined qualifications.
