Bachelor in Economics and Finance

Tuition fees are 99,000 TRY per year.

Economics and finance combines the study of economic theory and analysis with the principles of financial markets, investment, and corporate finance. Coursework typically includes microeconomics, macroeconomics, financial accounting, corporate finance, financial markets and institutions, econometrics, and quantitative methods, giving students both a theoretical grounding in economics and applied skills in financial analysis. Students learn to interpret economic data, evaluate investment decisions, and analyze the behavior of financial markets and institutions, often using statistical and quantitative tools. The discipline prepares students for work at the intersection of economic policy and financial decision-making, relevant to both private-sector finance and public economic institutions. Graduates pursue careers in banking, investment and asset management, corporate finance, consulting, and government or international economic institutions, or continue to graduate study. This program is offered by Istanbul Technical University in İstanbul, Turkey, and is taught in English over a duration of 4 years.
