The Department of International Trade and Logistics plans to strengthen practical and analytical skills through expert guest lectures to enhance graduate students' expertise in the field of international trade. Additionally, this major course will provide customized education to nurture global talents who can excel worldwide.

This major course covers the latest trends in the international trade environment and negotiations, as well as trade agreements such as WTO and FTA, product trade agreements, trade remedy measures, service trade agreements, trade facilitation agreements, and government procurement agreements.

Professor Jeongho Yoo, who is in charge of the course, stated, "As the protectionist nature of international trade is strengthening, the need to respond to TBT, a representative non-tariff barrier, is expanding. I believe this project will be a great opportunity to further enhance students' international capabilities by developing their field sense and analytical skills."
