The Master’s degree in Commerce and International Markets focuses on studying the factors involved in a company’s internationalization process, while providing students with a unique balance between theory and practice.

In response to the labor market needs and a market research conducted by the University, we have based the Master’s degree program in International Markets and Commerce on the following curricular pillars:

  • Practical-professional: Allow students the opportunity to encounter and better understand reality to develop their own perspective of the world, while continuously confronting it to ensure continuous improvement and reformulation.
  • Human talent: Create an environment that fosters creative intelligence, which is the ability to respond to specific problems, generate ideas, look at the world without taking anything for granted, while recognizing our ability to change these surroundings.
  • Dispute settlement and conciliation: A Master in International Markets and Commerce not only needs to be an effective communicator, capable of a good listening and anticipating events, but must also be able to understand his/her negotiating counterparts. These are key competencies and skills of the professionals who work in international commerce.
