In the recent period of rapid globalization, the frequency of economic and financial crises has led to a noticeable increase in research conducted in the applied field of finance—particularly studies focusing on diagnosing and addressing financial problems. Developments in financial markets have heightened the demand for finance professionals who can understand the international dimension of markets, navigate the dynamics of globalization, and who have received their education in English. Accordingly, cultivating students who possess English-language financial terminology and who understand international culture and philosophy is of critical importance for preparing them for the global business environment.

The Master’s Program in International Finance aims to train professionals required in this field by addressing financial theory, policy, concepts, and techniques. Beyond finance and quantitative methods, the program seeks to develop international finance experts who can internalize theoretical frameworks and policy structures, monitor rapid changes in global markets at the economic, sectoral, and firm levels, and make timely and accurate decisions.

The International Finance Master’s Program of the Institute of Finance holds accreditation from the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Institute, one of the most prestigious certification bodies for finance professionals worldwide. Through a curriculum aligned with industry expectations and CFA standards, our students are provided the opportunity to receive instruction from seasoned professionals and to build strong sectoral connections.
