Bachelor in Economics

Economics is the study of how individuals, businesses, and governments allocate scarce resources, covering both microeconomic topics such as consumer behavior, market structures, and firm decision-making, and macroeconomic subjects like inflation, unemployment, fiscal policy, and economic growth. Coursework typically includes mathematics and statistics for economic analysis, econometrics, monetary theory, international economics, and public finance. Students learn to build models, interpret data, and evaluate policy choices using analytical and quantitative tools. This 4-year bachelor's program is offered by Social Sciences University of Ankara in Ankara, Turkey, with instruction in English. Classes typically progress from foundational theory toward applied analysis of labor markets, banking systems, and trade relationships, with attention to both developed and emerging economies. Students often work with real datasets and case studies to practice forecasting, cost-benefit analysis, and policy evaluation. Graduates from this discipline go on to work in banking, financial analysis, government agencies, research institutions, and international organizations, as well as in consulting and corporate strategy roles. A background in economics also supports further graduate study in fields such as finance, public policy, or business administration. Being based in Ankara, the country's administrative center, gives students proximity to policymaking bodies, central banking institutions, and research centers relevant to economic study.
