International trade

International trade is our priority! If you want to add value to your linguistic expertise, join our professional training program, which leads to careers in import-export, purchasing, international logistics, international marketing and financial management.

Inalco's International trade sector has been in existence since 1970, and its originality lies in closely combining a dual curriculum in economics and international business techniques on the one hand, and Oriental language and culture on the other.
The program offers a Bachelor's degree, a "Diplôme Professionnel Commerce International et Langue Orientale" and a Professional Master's degree. Since 2010, the MASTER 2 Management and International Trade has been open to sandwich courses with the support of CFA FORMASUP, and since 2021, the Master 1 has also been open to apprenticeships, enabling our students to complete their entire Master's degree in a sandwich course.
Why choose our program? Because it's the only one to combine a high degree of competence in international business with linguistic and economic expertise in markets reputed to be difficult to access, while developing rare language skills.

Pedagogical team

Tenured lecturers from the International Commerce sector participate in the course.
The teaching team is reinforced by tenured lecturers from other Inalco sectors and departments (International Relations, Chinese, Hindi, Russian, etc.) and other lecturers from within and outside the COMUE Université Sorbonne Paris Cité.

The team is completed by professional lecturers recruited for their pedagogical and professional skills in the fields covered by the diploma. They are company directors, sales executives, trainers, consultants, etc. and have solid field experience, which they pass on to the students. Occasional guest speakers reinforce the team through testimonials, roundtables, exchange sessions with the professional world organized with partner organizations (notably the Conseillers du Commerce Extérieur de la France).

Additional information

The calendar for the Master Management and International Business differs from the Inalco calendar: teaching and exams finish at the end of March/beginning of April to enable students to go on work placements.
Our downloadable information brochure presents the study schedule, the skills of our graduates, testimonials, the work-study system set up for the Master 2 level, the apprenticeship tax system, and the entire teaching team and our partners.
