And about ten thousand international students of different countries, colors, or languages come to join the 6,000 Chinese students on campus every year. The International Business School of BLCU now operates the M.A. degree program in International Economics and Trade in which the sole instruction language will be English.
The program is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of the evolution of, and practices within, the global economy. It is based on a foundation of theory underpinning international economics and focuses on flows in trade including financial services between nations, corporations, and markets and their impact on growth, trade and development. The course intends to develop in students an ability to understand the economic factors, the policies, and the available evidence concerning the patterns of trade across the world. The course intends to train students to understand these issues so that they can provide informative and rational advice.
