Some majors are three years, such as master of law. At present, the postgraduate training in most key universities is two and a half years. If you choose to defend earlier, two years should be enough.

I checked the information of official website for you, and the master of foreign trade and economic cooperation has been trained for 2 years.

The major of international trade has 10 research directions, including international trade theory and policy, China's foreign trade research, China's economic research, international trade and environment, political economy, international trade practice, foreign direct investment and transnational operation, business promotion, world market situation, international transportation and logistics.

The main goal of the first five directions is to make students have a strong theoretical foundation and professional skills. Through study, students will gain the ability to apply theory to solve practical problems in economic life. The students trained in these five directions are especially suitable for positions that require rational judgment, strong data analysis and opinion evaluation ability and strategic vision in government, enterprises and consulting institutions. These five directions can lay a solid professional foundation for students who are interested in pursuing doctoral degrees. The latter five directions mainly cultivate compound talents with the ability to engage in foreign-related business activities. For students with professional backgrounds such as international finance, law, management, accounting, English, international relations and engineering technology, these five directions can provide students with opportunities to optimize their professional combination and broaden their professional skills, thus enhancing their adaptability to the ever-changing employment environment.

Courses are divided into compulsory courses (including 3 public degree courses, 3 basic degree courses, 2-3 directional compulsory courses and lectures and seminars) and elective courses (including 1 professional courses, 3 directional courses and 2 free elective courses).

Before writing a master's thesis, all students must submit a thesis application report, which will be approved by two experts anonymously. The paper application report shall not exceed 6000 words, otherwise it will be returned for revision. If the paper application report submitted for the first time is not passed, students can submit it again, and those who fail twice will be disqualified from applying for a master's degree. The deadline for the first submission of the thesis application report is 4: 00pm on June 1 10 of the second academic year, and the deadline for the second submission of the thesis application report is 4: 00pm on February 25th, 65438.
