Bachelor in Economics and Finance

Economics and finance programs study how individuals, firms, and governments make decisions about resources, markets, and money, combining economic theory with the practical tools used in financial analysis. Coursework typically includes microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics and econometrics, corporate finance, and financial markets, often supported by case studies and quantitative exercises that apply theoretical models to real-world data. Students learn to analyze economic trends, evaluate investment decisions, and understand how financial institutions and markets operate. Common career destinations include banking, corporate finance, financial analysis, consulting, and roles in government or international organizations dealing with economic policy, along with graduate study in economics, finance, or business for those who want to specialize further. This bachelor program is delivered in English over 4 years at Bahçeşehir University in İstanbul, Turkey. İstanbul functions as a major financial and commercial center, giving students in this program exposure to active banking and business sectors relevant to their studies. The curriculum generally builds from foundational economic theory toward more applied finance courses as students progress, with quantitative methods playing a consistent role throughout. Coursework in this field commonly involves problem sets, data analysis, and case-based assignments that connect economic concepts to financial decision-making in practice.
