Bachelor in Economics

Economics studies how individuals, firms, and societies allocate scarce resources, covering the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Coursework typically includes microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics and statistics, mathematics for economics, economic history, and applied fields such as labor economics, international trade, and public economics. Students develop analytical and quantitative skills used to interpret data, model economic behavior, and evaluate the effects of policy decisions on markets, employment, and growth. Programs generally combine theoretical coursework with empirical methods, training students to work with economic data and statistical software to test hypotheses and analyze trends. Graduates pursue careers in banking and financial services, economic research and consulting, government agencies and central banks, international organizations, corporate strategy and planning, and further graduate study in economics or related quantitative fields. This 4 year bachelor program is offered at Istanbul Beykent University in İstanbul, Turkey, and is taught in English, supporting students who will work with English-language economic literature, data, and international institutions over the course of their careers. İstanbul, as Turkey's largest commercial and financial center, provides a practical setting for studying market dynamics, trade, and economic policy. Across the four years, students typically progress from foundational mathematics and introductory economics courses toward intermediate and advanced theory alongside applied econometrics, often completing coursework that lets them apply economic analysis to real-world data and policy questions by the final year of study.
