The Department of Economics offers a curriculum structured to cover both theoretical and applied aspects of the field.

Economics is often described as the study of how individuals, groups, societies make or should make choices when resources are scarce. The concepts and tools of economic analysis are increasingly used in a variety of fields such as management science or political science, government, law, or international relations.

In the Department of Economics, we aim to educate individuals who can understand the various economic phenomena in the economy, and use economic data and information to comment and analyze these phenomena. One of the primary aims of our education is to provide our students with necessary problem-solving skills so that they can develop solutions to economic problems of the individuals and the society by using their knowledge of economics.

The objectives of the department are to supply an overall and comprehensive outlook on economic issues, to develop analytical skills to understand macroeconomic and microeconomic issues, to provide mathematical and statistical methods in analysing economic phenomena, to improve research skills for analysing economic and social phenomena.

Our undergraduate program provides students with a rich and rigorous foundation in all fields of economics. Equipping students with systematic and independent thinking skills is our primary goal. The courses we offer aim to strike a good balance between providing both an analytical perspective through rigorous courses in economic theory and quantitative skills geared towards policy applications.

The aim of our program is to establish a research and education center with high standards by following innovative economic theory and providing developments in the literature to our students. The Department of Economics values international communication with the world’s leading universities. Our target is to give our graduates the ability of understanding and analyzing the contemporary subjects and problems of the Turkish and world economy with the appropriate methods.

The economics program offers its students both a technical and practical education based on numerical methods. As with leading universities around the world, the program is in English. Students are offered the opportunity to specialize in international economics, econometrics, management, finance and economics. In addition, they will gain experience with internship applications during their undergraduate education.

Thanks to the flexibility in course selection and course variety, our students will not only be able to enrich their course program by taking courses in fields other than Economics, but also will be able to complete the 4-year 240 ECTS Bachelor education in 3 years.
