GRADUATE SCHOOL

The field of economics requires experts who can deeply analyze not only economic processes but also social structures and decision-making mechanisms within the dynamics of the information age. In this new era, where the speed of information production and dissemination has reached dizzying heights, it is of great importance to cultivate individuals who possess academic competence in economics, are capable of research-based thinking, and can engage in scientific production.

The Istanbul Ticaret University Economics Doctoral Program, developed in this direction, aims to train academics and experts equipped with advanced theoretical knowledge and critical and analytical thinking skills who can make original contributions to economic research. The program takes a holistic approach to classical and modern economic theories, econometric analysis methods, and current economic issues.

Graduates of the Economics Doctoral Program will be equipped to pursue academic or expertise-based career paths at universities, research institutions, public organizations, and international organizations, as well as to take on effective roles in the strategic analysis and policy development units of the private sector. They will also gain the infrastructure and competence to contribute to scientific production processes with technology and data-driven approaches.

Within this framework, the doctoral program, structured with an interdisciplinary approach, aims to enable original thesis studies that can contribute to academic literature while also equipping students with academic skills such as scientific thinking, research design, and publication production.

Conducted within the Graduate School of Economics at Istanbul Ticaret University’s Faculty of Business Administration, the doctoral program carries the responsibility of training qualified scientists needed by Turkey and the world.
