What is the difference between international trade and finance? Which major is better if you study economics? More practical? There are accounting, financial management and so on! I hope the seniors will give me more advice.
In fact, although the professional names are different, the undergraduate courses such as international trade, finance and accounting, especially the public courses and basic courses, are not very different, but there will be some core courses after the senior year. For example, the International Trade Association will begin to pay attention to courses such as international economics and international trade practice, while the Finance Association will have courses such as monetary banking, securities investment analysis and portfolio management, and the Accounting Association will focus on corporate finance and advanced accounting. Among these three majors, I personally think that in the undergraduate stage, international trade has the highest requirements for mathematics and economics, while in the postgraduate stage, finance needs more mathematical tools, and accounting is the most employable major.
These three majors face basically the same labor market after graduation. Although there may be more international students entering enterprises and institutions, financial majors entering some financial institutions and accounting majors entering the four major accounting firms, there is no high barrier between them.
There is no difference between these three majors. If they are practical, I recommend accounting. Although I study finance, as far as I know, there are not a few students with the same major who minor in accounting and take the CPA exam, which is also evident.
