Bachelor in Economics

Economics is the study of how individuals, businesses, and governments allocate scarce resources, covering microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, and economic policy. Students typically build a foundation in economic theory and mathematics before applying these tools to questions of markets, trade, labor, public finance, and economic growth, often through coursework that combines theoretical models with statistical and data analysis methods. Many programs also cover international economics and the policy tools governments use to influence economic outcomes. Graduates pursue careers in banking and finance, consulting, government and public policy, international organizations, market research, and further graduate study in economics, finance, or public policy. This bachelor program is taught in English over 4 years at Kadir Has University in İstanbul, Turkey. English-medium instruction supports engagement with international economic literature and data sources central to the discipline, while İstanbul offers a major commercial and financial hub as a practical backdrop for studying markets and economic policy. A typical economics curriculum progresses from introductory micro- and macroeconomic theory toward more specialized and quantitative coursework, with increasing emphasis on statistical and econometric methods as students advance. Over the four years, students generally develop strong analytical and quantitative reasoning skills alongside a broad understanding of how economic systems function, preparing them for roles that require interpreting data and understanding the forces shaping business, finance, and public policy decisions.
