Courses in Trade

The Trade area includes master's programmes dedicated to the exchange of goods and services, from retail to wholesale distribution, from foreign trade to new forms of online selling. Italy, with its fabric of small and medium-sized exporting enterprises and its long mercantile tradition, offers a particularly fertile context for training trade professionals able to operate in domestic and international markets.

The programmes address international trade, export management, commercial logistics, customs and trade regulations, retail management, trade marketing, retail sales, e-commerce, commercial negotiation and distribution strategies. Lessons combine theory and practice, with case studies, company visits and projects developed together with exporting companies and distribution operators.

A master's in Trade lets you acquire skills in commercial planning, foreign market analysis, international contract management, payments and guarantees, distribution channel management and the use of digital platforms to sell online. You learn to identify new market opportunities and reduce the risks linked to foreign trade, enhancing the value of Made in Italy.

The professional profiles you can reach are export manager, foreign sales manager, trade marketing manager, retail manager, store manager, import-export specialist, business developer and internationalisation consultant. Opportunities can be found in manufacturing companies, distribution firms, store chains, trading companies, chambers of commerce, export agencies and e-commerce platforms.

The sector is evolving rapidly: the growth of e-commerce, new international trade rules and the search for more sustainable supply chains call for up-to-date professionals able to combine market knowledge, digital skills and intercultural sensitivity.
