Bachelor in Economics

Economics examines how societies allocate scarce resources among competing uses, studying the behavior of individuals, firms, and governments as they make production, consumption, and investment decisions. Students build a foundation in microeconomics and macroeconomics before progressing to statistics, econometrics, and applied subjects such as international economics, monetary policy, and public finance. The curriculum typically combines theoretical modeling with the analysis of real economic data, and many programs introduce students to statistical software used for empirical economic research. Coursework in economic history and development economics is common, giving students context for understanding how economies grow and change over time. Graduates of economics programs pursue careers in banking, financial analysis, corporate strategy, government economic policy, and market research, while others continue into graduate study in economics, finance, or related quantitative fields. The strong analytical and quantitative skills built through the degree are valued across a wide range of business and public sector roles beyond economics itself. This program is delivered in English at Izmir Katip Çelebi University, located in İzmir, Turkey, and runs for 4 years. İzmir is one of Turkey's largest commercial centers, and studying economics there gives students exposure to an active regional economy alongside coursework delivered within the university's social science departments.
