Tuition fees for Bachelor in Economics are 2,067 USD per year.

Economics examines how individuals, firms, and governments allocate scarce resources, and how markets, prices, and policies shape the production, consumption, and distribution of goods and services. Coursework typically includes microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics, econometrics, economic history, and international economics, along with quantitative methods for analyzing data and modeling economic behavior. Students learn to interpret economic indicators, evaluate policy proposals, and apply analytical frameworks to questions in trade, labor markets, finance, development, and public policy. The discipline develops quantitative and analytical reasoning skills that are transferable across many sectors. Graduates pursue careers in banking and finance, consulting, government agencies, international organizations, corporate strategy and analysis roles, and further graduate study. This program is offered by Istanbul Technical University in İstanbul, Turkey, and is taught in English over a duration of 4 years. Istanbul Technical University, though historically known for engineering, also offers programs in economics and management fields, allowing students to combine quantitative training with a technically oriented academic environment. English-medium instruction prepares graduates to work with international data sources, research literature, and multinational employers where English is the standard language of business and economic analysis. The İstanbul location places students in Turkey's largest commercial and financial center, home to banks, corporations, and government institutions that offer opportunities for internships and employment. Over the 4-year curriculum, students generally progress from foundational mathematics and introductory economics toward more specialized coursework in econometrics and applied economic analysis.
