Master’s Programs in Economics (English) – With Thesis / Non-Thesis

Our master’s programs provide students with an in-depth theoretical foundation in key areas such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, mathematical methods, and international economics, while also enhancing their skills in scientific research and academic writing.

The Master’s with Thesis program is designed for students who wish to conduct academic research in economics, work as experts in the public or private sector, or pursue further studies at the doctoral level.

The Non-Thesis Master’s program, which is completed with a final project, is tailored for candidates who aim to specialize in the business world and direct their careers toward professional practice rather than academia.
