Dlaczego warto studiować w Merito Poznań
Why study it:

International Trade at WSB Merito University in Poznań is a bachelor's programme taught in English, with full-time classes in a hybrid format. It suits school-leavers who want to work with global markets and feel at home using a foreign language in business.

Programme: global economy and cultures

You start from the foundations of the world economy: international economics, development economics, international finance and statistics, together with the history and policies of trade. Courses on world regions and cultures show how markets differ from one another, while business law and ethics frame everyday decisions.

On the practical side you learn to negotiate across borders, manage risk in trade and organise international logistics. Marketing strategies for foreign markets and intercultural business communication complete the picture and prepare you for teams that span several countries.

Specialisation: two specialisations

The programme offers two specialisations: E-Commerce in International Markets and International Business.

Placements: projects and a diploma defence

Group projects built around real business problems, market simulations and case studies make up much of the teaching. An internship in a company is part of the plan, and you can also apply for placements offered by the university's employer partners. To graduate, you defend a team diploma project before a committee.

Languages: business English and a second language

Business English is part of the plan, alongside a second foreign language, German or Spanish.

After graduation: where graduates work

Graduates can find a place as:

  • a specialist in international trade at a company operating on global markets
  • an international logistics expert who optimises the flow of goods through global supply chains
  • a negotiator who closes key agreements with partners from different countries
  • a foreign trade adviser in a public institution, helping firms build economic ties abroad
  • an e-commerce professional who manages online sales and studies customers from different regions
