Bachelor in Economics

This bachelor's program in Economics examines how individuals, firms, and governments allocate scarce resources, covering microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, and economic policy. Students develop analytical and quantitative skills through coursework in economic theory, statistics, and mathematical modeling, learning to analyze markets, trade, and public policy issues. The curriculum typically builds from introductory economic principles toward more advanced study of topics such as international economics, monetary policy, and applied econometrics. Graduates pursue careers in banking, finance, consulting, government and policy roles, and further graduate study in economics, business, or public policy. The program spans 4 years and is taught in English, aligning with the language commonly used in international economic research and finance. It is offered at İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey, the country's capital and a center for economic policymaking institutions. Studying economics in Ankara gives students proximity to government ministries and policy bodies engaged in national economic decision-making. Over the four years, coursework generally progresses from foundational microeconomics and macroeconomics toward more specialized and quantitative subjects, including econometrics and elective areas of applied economics, often supported by data analysis coursework. The program aims to give graduates a rigorous grounding in economic theory combined with the quantitative tools needed for careers in finance, policy analysis, and related fields, as well as preparation for further graduate study.
