Customs and Foreign Trade Management

This certificate programme at Technische Hochschule Augsburg is offered part-time alongside professional work and is designed for people who want specialised knowledge of customs and foreign trade. It is delivered within the School of Business and taught in German. The curriculum links trade compliance with the way international supply chains are organised. Graduates are prepared to assess and monitor transactions that fall under customs and foreign trade law. They learn how to take legal requirements into account when designing supply chain processes and how to keep those processes compliant over time. The programme also targets managers who need to raise the effectiveness of compliance and customs work in their company. Applicants who hold the IHK-Fachkraft Außenhandel und Zollabwicklung (IHK specialist in foreign trade and customs processing) can use that qualification as proof of the customs knowledge needed for admission. The partnership with the IHK Akademie Schwaben supports this route, provided the other admission conditions are met.
