Program Outline

The Professional Certificate in International Trade aims to provide you with a practical understanding of current international trade and investment issues, the political dynamics of the negotiating environment and the opportunities and challenges presented to businesses by the globalised economy.

Whether you’re studying corporate finance, marketing strategies or applied economics, today’s globalised environment requires you to understand how your work will be impacted by bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, international trade disputes and non-economic societal influences on international markets. This program is designed to give you an extra competitive edge by providing you with an interactive case-study based background in how business and government interact in trade negotiations, leveraging commercial opportunities arising out of “third wave” trade agreements, and practical legal and commercial aspects of export marketing. 

This unique program is headed by the former WTO Deputy Director-General and staffed by Australian and overseas experts in global commercial matters. 

The Professional Certificate in International Trade consists of three courses:

  • TRADE 5000: only offered in Semester 1
  • TRADE 5001: only offered in Semester 2
  • TRADE 5002: offered in both Semester 1 and 2

TRADE 5000 AND TRADE 5001 must be complete before students can enrol into TRADE 5002. The minimum study period is therefore one year, taken part-time. For more information see the Study Plan.

Program Structure

Core courses: International Trade: Negotiations & Agreements*, International Trade: Strategies & Opportunities*, Project in International Trade**.*These courses articulate into two unspecified electives (6 units) of advanced standing in the Master of Commerce, Master of Applied Economics and Master of Applied Economics (International) programs.

**To recieve the named award "Professional Certificate in International Trade" students must successfully undertake this course in BOTH semesters of study.
