Bachelor in Economics

Tuition fees are 8,750 EUR per year.

The Economics program introduces students to the theories and analytical tools used to study how individuals, firms, markets, and governments allocate scarce resources. Core coursework typically includes microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics, econometrics, and mathematical methods, building toward applied topics such as international economics, monetary and fiscal policy, labor economics, and development economics. Students learn to interpret economic data, build and test models, and apply economic reasoning to questions of trade, employment, inflation, and public policy. Many programs also introduce students to economic history and comparative economic systems, helping them understand how different countries organize production, trade, and welfare policy. Analytical and quantitative skills developed in the degree are widely applicable, and graduates commonly pursue careers in banking, financial analysis, government agencies, international organizations, consulting, and further postgraduate study in economics, finance, or public policy. The program runs as a 4 year bachelor degree taught in English at Girne American University in Girne, Northern Cyprus. English-medium instruction gives students access to the international literature and data sources used throughout economic research and policy analysis. Studying in Girne places students within a small, international academic community on the island, which supports close contact with instructors during quantitative coursework. Over four years, students typically move from foundational courses in mathematics and introductory economics toward electives that allow them to specialize in areas such as international trade, banking, or development economics, often supported by research projects and coursework that apply economic theory to current policy questions.
