Overview

In a world redefined by geopolitical disruption, digital acceleration and sustainability mandates, the ability to operate across borders — combining market intelligence, trade finance, compliance, logistics and ESG strategy — has become a core executive competence. 

The Master in International Trade and Business Master at ESIC Business & Marketing School is built for professionals who want to drive the full arc of international trade: from market selection and entry strategy to trade finance, supply chain optimisation, compliance and sustainable value chain management. Everything is real, applied and globally connected.

Objectives

• The MITB trains professionals capable of analysing, deciding and acting in complex international environments — integrating quantitative and qualitative evidence, regulatory frameworks and sustainability criteria. Aligned with MECES Level 3, the programme ensures knowledge integration, judgement under uncertainty, specialised communication and learning autonomy.
• Upon graduation, students will be able to:
• Analyse international trade flows, competitive advantages and trade policy instruments to support strategic decisions.
• Build trade intelligence dashboards from official databases, including UN Comtrade, WTO Statistics, Eurostat and OECD TiVA.
• Prioritise international markets and design evidence-based market entry and go-to-market strategies.
• Structure trade finance operations and design mitigation plans for counterparty, country and foreign exchange risks.
• Manage the full import-export compliance cycle, including tariff classification, rules of origin, customs valuation, AEO programmes and counterparty screening.
