Bachelor in Economics and Finance

Economics and Finance covers the study of how markets, institutions, and financial systems allocate resources, alongside the tools used to analyze investment, risk, and economic policy. Students study microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, corporate finance, and financial markets, building quantitative and analytical skills used to evaluate economic trends and financial decisions. Coursework typically progresses from foundational economic theory to more applied topics such as portfolio management, banking, and monetary policy. This bachelor's program is offered at Istanbul Aydın University in İstanbul, Turkey, and is taught in English over 4 years. The curriculum combines theoretical coursework in economics with applied finance topics, and many programs of this kind incorporate statistical and data analysis tools used to model markets and evaluate financial instruments. Students also study international economics and finance, reflecting the interconnected nature of modern financial markets, and typically complete coursework in accounting and business fundamentals that support careers in financial analysis and management. Graduates pursue careers in banking, financial services, corporate finance departments, government economic agencies, and consulting firms, working in roles such as financial analyst, economic researcher, and banking associate. Some continue into graduate study in economics, finance, or business administration. İstanbul's standing as a major financial and commercial center, home to numerous banks and financial institutions, gives students in this program direct access to a substantial finance industry for internships and career entry after graduation.
