Bachelor in Economics

Economics examines how individuals, firms, and governments allocate scarce resources, covering both microeconomic decision-making and macroeconomic forces such as inflation, growth, and trade. Coursework typically includes microeconomic and macroeconomic theory, statistics, econometrics, and international economics, often supported by mathematics courses that build quantitative analysis skills. This 4 year bachelor program is delivered in English at Istanbul 29 Mayıs University in İstanbul, Turkey. Istanbul's role as a major commercial and financial center gives students direct exposure to a large, active economy spanning trade, finance, and industry. Students learn to build and interpret economic models, analyze data, and evaluate policy proposals, skills that apply broadly across business and public sector roles. Graduates commonly move into banking, finance, consulting, government economic agencies, and research institutions, while others continue into graduate study in economics, business, or public policy. The discipline rewards strong quantitative reasoning alongside the ability to communicate findings clearly to non-specialists. Studying economics in English within Istanbul allows international students to combine rigorous theoretical training with observation of a dynamic, internationally connected economy. Across the four years, the program typically progresses from foundational theory and statistics toward applied and elective coursework in areas such as international trade or financial economics, preparing graduates for analytical roles across both private industry and public policy institutions.
