International Trade Management
The Specialised Master's in International Trade Management (MACI) responds to a genuine need of the national economy for international business managers capable of analysing economic and political situations, managing risk, adapting to cultures and designing financial and contractual arrangements suited to the characteristics of markets. In addition to providing a solid knowledge of the major foreign markets and the techniques of international trade, this programme refines managerial and commercial conduct in an intercultural context. The MACI stands out through a dual ISCAE/USTL1 degree and welcomes European, North African and other international students.
