Message from the Department Head

In today’s interconnected world, understanding economic behavior is more critical than ever not just for economists, but for professionals across all sectors. The increasing complexity of global challenges and their far-reaching effects underscore the need for individuals who can think critically about both economic and societal phenomena. At Özyeğin University, our Economics Department is committed to equipping students with the tools to navigate and shape this dynamic landscape.

Our program is designed not only to train students in the rigorous analysis of economic systems but also to equip them to respond to the evolving needs of industries. We aim to graduate economists who can think strategically, adapt to global trends, develop innovative business ideas, and contribute to sound policy-making. With a curriculum grounded in both theory and practice, we prepare our students to become key decision-makers and problem-solvers in a wide array of fields.

Economics, at its core, is about choices and through our program, students gain a deeper understanding of how these choices impact individuals, firms, and entire economies. Armed with strong analytical and quantitative skills, our graduates are well-prepared for careers in business, finance, public policy, and beyond.
