Bachelor in Economics

Economics examines how individuals, businesses, and governments allocate scarce resources, covering both theoretical models and their application to real-world markets and policy questions. Coursework typically includes microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics and econometrics, and courses on topics such as international trade, monetary policy, or economic development, building skills in quantitative analysis and economic reasoning. Students learn to interpret data, build and test economic models, and communicate findings in written reports and presentations, often using statistical software as part of coursework. Graduates pursue careers in banking and finance, consulting, government and policy roles, corporate strategy and analysis, or continue to graduate study in economics, finance, or public policy. This 4 year bachelor's program in Economics is offered at MEF University in İstanbul, Turkey, with instruction in English. İstanbul's position as Turkey's main commercial and financial center gives students an active economic environment to relate coursework to, and the English-medium instruction supports engagement with international economics literature and data sources throughout the program.
