Program description
Students in the Department of Economics are encouraged to propose solutions for the future by actively using their gathered knowledge based on their understanding, appraisal, and analysis of economic events, as well as their observations of market fluctuations. Our students learn how to analyse national and international economic events, formulate future trading strategies, and put action plans in place in response to the new competitive patterns in the global economy brought about by globalisation. Work experience is obtained through job shadowing, review, and internship in Yaşar Holding enterprises, as well as participation in international symposiums.
Graduates of this department can work as managers, management consultants, analysts, strategists, and partners in public and private enterprises, among other positions in finance, commerce, and industry. Graduates can also work in ministries, relevant government agencies, banks, sector representatives of non-governmental organisations, and companies. Students are also given the entrepreneurial skills necessary to create their own firms.
