Do you have a special interest in countries like China or Japan? Do you also have an innate aptitude for commerce? If so, you will feel completely at home on the Trade Management Asia programme. Trade Management Asia is an English-language programme that will teach you all the ins and outs of doing business with Asian countries, enabling you to build an internationally-oriented career and a good knowledge of languages. Countries like China are developing at breakneck speed, giving rise to a high demand for skilled managers and entrepreneurs in this booming Asian market. On successful completion of the Trade Management Asia programme, you will have the degree of Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) and the world will be your oyster!
In the heart of the Asian market
Trade Management Asia is a full-time programme, taught in English and with a practice-oriented approach. You will spend a semester studying at an Asian university and also take a six-month placement in the Far East. This means that you can gain practical experience at the heart of the current market relationships. Exciting import and export projects play an important role. Within the programme you will acquire extensive knowledge of Asian languages and cultures. You will therefore be fully equipped for a fascinating management position in commerce or, of course, for successfully running your own business.
Your future career
On completion of your studies, you could work for companies that do business with Asia or for an Asian company. All kinds of commercial management functions are possible. Of course, another possibility is to start your own import or export business.
Your future business card
Possible job titles include:
- - Area manager
- - Import and export manager
- - Business unit manager
- - Business development manager
After your Bachelor´s degree
In co-operation with the University of Amsterdam, the School of Economics and Management offers you the possibility of moving on to the three-semester Master´s degree in Business Studies.
Contents
First and second year
The first semester is designed to give a general orientation. You will familiarise yourself with important processes in an enterprise - both with the market and with the financial situation of a business. Subjects include Marketing, Management & Organisation, Financial Management, Asian Trade and Communication, Presentation & Reporting. In addition to the knowledge you acquire, you will also hone your skills.
Over the next three semesters, your courses will go into more detail concerning the theory and practice of international marketing and trade, with a focus on Asia. You will study Asia-oriented Import and Export Policy, International Trading Contracts, and Formal and Informal Relations in an area with an Asian language and culture. You will also focus on Financial Management and Entrepreneurship. Immediately after the first semester, you will select an Asian language to study as well as English. You can choose from Mandarin and Japanese.
Third and fourth year
In the final two years you can add more personal content to your education. You will follow an international programme and take a minor at an Asian university where English is the main language. In the first semester of the fourth year, you will do a placement, and in the second semester you will work on the project `My own company and importing´. You will then complete your studies with a final paper.
A detailed course table can be found on: http://www.international.hva.nl/programmes/trade-management-asia/the-programme.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
More informationRequirements
To be admitted to the Trade Management Asia study programme, you need to have completed secondary education on a level equivalent to Dutch HAVO, VWO or MBO level 4. In some cases, depending on your profile, there are additional requirements. All students must also attend a personal interview with the intake officer. Trade Management Asia calls for well-developed arithmetical skills and economic insight. You must have these qualities in order to successfully complete the course.

You should have completed secondary education at university entrance level with a least a pass in mathematics and preferably in business studies or accounting. For example GCSEs with two or more A-levels, International Baccalaureate, Abitur or Fachhochschulreife, Baccalauréat or another diploma equivalent to the Dutch HAVO, VWO or MBO level 4 diploma.
All diplomas will be screened by the School of Economics and Management.

Students with a Dutch MBO Level 4, HAVO or VWO diploma and a score in English lower than 7 are also advised to take an IELTS test. This will determine whether their level of English is good enough to study in English. The minimum overall score required is 6.0 on academic level (IELTS) or 550 paper-based/ 213 computer-based and 80 internet-based (TOEFL). The test should not be more than 2 years old.
