Master's Program in Economics
About Department
Economics is defined as the science that studies the ways in which individuals, firms and societies, confronted with unlimited aims and desires, allocate their scarce resources to fulfill these competing ends. In that sense, economics covers a wide range of topics, ranging from utility and profit maximization of individuals and firms, to markets and domestic and international issues and problems. The M.A. Program in Economics is for students who would like to further their understanding of economics and/or specialize in certain areas of economic analysis. It is tailored for students with different educational backgrounds and professional objectives. Students can specialize in public finance, monetary economics and international finance and trade by taking the various courses offered by the department.
Vision and Mission
Our target group consists of students who are interested in developments in the Turkish and global economies and are comfortable with mathematics and quantitative methods.
The primary aim of the programme is to equip students who wish to pursue a career in the private sector, bureaucracy, banking and finance with the necessary skills. Advanced economics theory and econometrics courses form the cornerstones of the programme.
In order to enable students enrolled in the programme to specialise at a more advanced level, elective courses in international economics, finance, game theory, international economic policy, economic development and the history of economic thought are also included in the programme.
