Bachelor in Economics

Economics studies how individuals, firms, and governments allocate scarce resources, covering both the theoretical principles that explain economic behavior and the practical tools used to analyze markets and policy. Coursework typically includes microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics, econometrics, international economics, and economic history, building a foundation for understanding topics such as pricing, unemployment, inflation, trade, and economic growth. Students learn to use mathematical and statistical methods to test economic theories against real data, often working with case studies of national economies or specific industries to see how economic principles play out in practice. Graduates typically pursue careers in banking, finance, government economic agencies, international organizations, consulting, and research, with many also continuing to graduate study in economics, finance, or public policy. This bachelor's program is delivered over 4 years at Çankaya University in Ankara, Turkey, with instruction in English, which supports graduates seeking roles in international finance and policy organizations. The curriculum typically builds from introductory micro- and macroeconomic theory toward more advanced coursework in econometrics, monetary economics, and international trade, often including quantitative projects that require students to work with real economic datasets. Seminar discussions and applied assignments help students connect abstract economic models to current events and policy debates. Ankara, as Turkey's administrative and political center, gives students proximity to national economic institutions and policymaking bodies relevant to their studies. By the end of the program, graduates are expected to analyze economic data rigorously, understand the mechanisms behind market and policy outcomes, and communicate economic arguments clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
