International Trade and Logistics Department Student Association

As the International Trade and Logistics Department, we organize various events to contribute to our students' professional and social development alongside their academic education. Through meetings with industry professionals, seminars, community service projects, and social events, we support our students in preparing for both the business world and society.

Our department's events include banking and finance seminars, community service and empowerment projects, and introductory events at the beginning of each semester. With all these activities, we aim to help our students reinforce their academic knowledge with practical experience, get acquainted with the sector early on, and build a strong professional network.
