In line with the importance of the foreign trade sector in GDP today, our graduates have a wide variety of job opportunities both in private and in public sectors. In addition, since foreign trade graduates are given the right to become a customs broker assistant by taking the exam without completing a related undergraduate program, our curriculum has been prepared for the customs counselling exam held by the Ministry of Commerce with the compulsory and elective courses it contains. If they wish, our graduates who wish to continue their academic life can take the Higher Education Exam (DGS) and switch to the relevant bachelor’s departments.
