The profession

The import/ export trade manager, specialised in the French-German market and fluent in three languages (German, French, English), supports the enterprise's activities abroad. He or she conquers foreign markets, improves import/export relations, encourages the opening of new branches abroad and is in continuous exchange with the foreign trade partners.

Our students will naturally tend to work in relation with German speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Eastern Europe) but they can easily adapt to an European or world wide context.
