The finance sector, which is one of the areas most affected by globalization, has been undergoing significant transformation in line with developments in information technologies. These changes diversify the functioning of financial markets, institutions, and financial instruments.
Financial crises experienced worldwide have reshaped both financial and real sectors, while also intensifying global competition. These developments increase the need for well-qualified professionals who can analyze financial markets, understand international competition, and adapt to rapidly changing economic conditions.
Rather than employing individuals trained outside the field, financial institutions increasingly prefer graduates specialized in banking and finance. In this context, the Banking and Finance Department aims to educate individuals who respect ethical values, possess strong professional knowledge, and meet the workforce needs of the financial sector.
The program consists of 8 semesters. Students gain theoretical knowledge in banking and finance along with courses in accounting, economics, management, and marketing.
Additionally, students complete a 30-day compulsory internship to strengthen their practical skills.
Students may also benefit from double major and minor opportunities. Furthermore, they can study abroad through Erasmus agreements with partner universities.
Students receive continuous academic guidance and career planning support.
Theoretical education is supported by internship and application-based learning.
Erasmus mobility, double major, and minor programs expand students’ academic horizons.
