Bachelor in Economics

Economics studies how individuals, businesses, and governments allocate scarce resources, covering both microeconomic decision-making and macroeconomic questions about growth, inflation, and employment. Coursework typically includes microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, statistics, mathematics for economics, and applied topics such as international trade, public economics, or development economics. Students learn to build and interpret economic models and to use quantitative methods to analyze data and evaluate policy questions. Career paths include roles in banking, finance, government economic agencies, policy research, consulting, and international organizations, and the analytical and quantitative skills developed also support further graduate study in economics, finance, or public policy. This bachelor's program in Economics is offered at Yaşar University in İzmir, Turkey, and runs for 4 years. Instruction is delivered in English, matching the discipline's predominantly English-language academic literature and preparing graduates for international finance and policy careers. İzmir, as one of Turkey's major economic centers, provides context relevant to coursework touching on trade, industry, and regional economic development. Throughout the 4-year program, students typically move from introductory micro- and macroeconomics and mathematics courses toward more advanced econometrics and applied economics electives, with quantitative research skills and independent projects becoming more prominent in the later years. This progression reflects the standard structure of undergraduate economics education delivered in English.
