Dear students,

Since 1999, the Department of Economics has been training a qualified workforce that will contribute to business life and the national economy. The aim is to raise graduates who possess academic competence, adapt to the digital age, think critically, are solution-oriented, productive, creative, innovative, and create added value on both a national and global scale.

In order to understand the economy at the national and global level, it is necessary to have theoretical knowledge in the field and to be able to use it, to follow national, regional, and global issues, to develop solutions to these issues, and to produce policy proposals. With the contributions of both its full-time faculty members and prominent figures from the economy and business world, the Department of Economics offers a flexible curriculum in line with the requirements of the era, opening the door for you to become a good economist.

Graduates of the department can take on important positions in the public and private sectors in areas such as monetary policy, finance, banking, foreign trade, economics, and management. The availability of relevant positions in almost all sectors offers graduates wide opportunities; they are employed especially in management positions even in different sectors such as media, healthcare, and tourism.

Through extracurricular scientific activities, students have the opportunity to meet with experts from the business world, the public sector, and academia, and to follow current issues. Students stand out in their field qualifications thanks to the wide range of internship opportunities offered, international student exchange programs, “student-oriented” education and academic advising support, as well as the possibility of pursuing double major and minor programs with all departments.
