Bachelor in Economics and Finance

Economics and Finance combines the study of how economies function with the analysis of financial markets, instruments, and decision-making. Students typically build a foundation in microeconomics and macroeconomics before moving into more specialized coursework covering financial markets, corporate finance, and quantitative analysis methods used to evaluate economic and financial data. Statistics and mathematics courses are usually included to support the analytical demands of the field. Graduates commonly pursue careers in banking, financial analysis, corporate finance, investment services, or economic research, and the degree also serves as a foundation for further graduate study in economics or finance. This bachelor's program at Istanbul Nişantaşı University in İstanbul, Turkey is delivered in English over 4 years.
