Bachelor in Economics

Economics studies how individuals, firms, and governments allocate scarce resources, and how markets, prices, and policies shape economic outcomes. Typical coursework includes microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, international trade, monetary and fiscal policy, and development economics, alongside statistics and mathematical methods used for economic modeling. Students learn to analyze market behavior, evaluate the effects of government policy, and interpret economic data using statistical and quantitative techniques, often through case studies of national and international economic issues. Coursework typically builds from foundational theory toward applied analysis of real economic problems, including trade, labor markets, and financial systems. Graduates pursue careers as economic analysts, policy researchers, financial consultants, and roles in banking, government agencies, and international organizations, and many continue into graduate study in economics, finance, or public policy. This 4 year bachelor's program is offered by Yıldız Technical University in İstanbul, Turkey, with instruction in English, giving students the vocabulary used in international economic research and policy discussion. İstanbul's role as Turkey's commercial and financial center offers a practical setting for studying markets, trade, and finance. Over the four years, students typically progress from foundational microeconomics and macroeconomics courses to specialized electives in trade, finance, or development, often supported by an independent research project. The program is designed to develop the analytical and quantitative skills needed for careers in economic analysis, policy, or further academic study.
