Bachelor in Economics and Finance

Economics and Finance covers the analysis of markets, financial systems, and economic policy, combining microeconomic and macroeconomic theory with applied finance topics such as investment analysis, corporate finance, and financial markets. Students typically build a foundation in mathematics and statistics before studying econometrics, monetary theory, and financial modeling. This bachelor program is offered by Istanbul Esenyurt University in İstanbul, Turkey, delivered in English across 4 years. The curriculum generally combines core economics theory with finance-focused coursework, including corporate finance, banking, and financial risk analysis, often supported by case studies drawing on real market data. Students develop quantitative and analytical skills through coursework in statistics and econometrics, applying these methods to questions in both macroeconomic policy and firm-level financial decision-making. Courses addressing international economics, financial markets, and investment analysis are common, giving students a view of both theoretical economic frameworks and practical finance applications. Later coursework typically allows students to lean toward either the macro and policy side of economics or the applied finance side, while keeping a shared quantitative core across both tracks. Studying in İstanbul places students in one of the region's major financial centers, relevant context for coursework touching on banking, markets, and economic policy. Graduates from economics and finance programs commonly pursue careers in banking, financial analysis, corporate finance, and economic consulting, or continue into graduate study in economics, finance, or related quantitative fields.
