Bachelor in Economics

Economics studies how individuals, firms, and governments allocate scarce resources, covering microeconomics, macroeconomics, and the tools used to analyze markets, trade, and policy. Core coursework typically includes principles of micro and macroeconomics, statistics and econometrics, mathematical economics, international economics, monetary theory, and public economics, with electives available in development, labor, or financial economics. Students learn to build and interpret economic models, work with statistical software, and analyze real-world data on prices, employment, trade, and growth. Many programs include applied projects or a thesis that uses economic reasoning to examine a current policy or market question. Graduates find roles in banking and finance, government agencies, consulting, corporate strategy and analysis, and international organizations, as well as pursuing graduate study in economics, finance, or public policy. This program is a 4 year bachelor's degree at Bahçeşehir University in İstanbul, Turkey, taught entirely in English, which supports direct use of English-language economic research, data sources, and international coursework standards. İstanbul functions as Turkey's principal financial and commercial center, giving economics students access to banks, corporate headquarters, and financial institutions for internships and applied learning. Across the four years, students typically progress from foundational theory and quantitative methods toward more specialized coursework and independent analytical work, building the technical and analytical skills expected for entry-level economics and finance positions or further academic study.
