3. Department of International Trade and Finance

ACADEMIC STAFF
Our faculty accepts students to the departments of Business Administration, Economics, International Trade and Finance and Islamic Economics and Finance. All faculty members teaching in these departments have international academic experience and have made significant scientific publications and activities in their fields. We have a management team that will bring these two together in a significant way and create synergy, and will complement the academic staff consisting of young, dynamic and experienced peers. It has a project-oriented vision for the future of the country, leaning on traditions.
OUR DIFFERENCE
All faculty members in our faculty offer a wide range of courses according to the interests of the students. In addition to university elective courses, approximately half of the 8-semester program consists of elective courses as departmental electives and general electives. The most important advantage for students is that they can have a deep specialization if they take all courses from their own departments, and they also have the opportunity to do a minor or double major if they take courses from departments they are interested in or from outside the faculty.
There are both Turkish and English programs in the Islamic Economics and Finance department. There is a minimum of 30% English in the International Trade and Finance department, and 100% English in the Business and Economics department. Students who want to improve their foreign language skills can increase this rate as they wish, and those who wish can even receive optional preparatory education with the scholarship they win. In this context, English Preparatory class is mandatory for departments that provide 30% and 100% English education. In addition, within the scope of the goal of teaching 3 languages to every student at our university, all our students are given free English, Arabic and Ottoman courses.
