International Finance And Banking

In the globalizing business world, the weight of multinational companies is increasing rapidly. The management of local companies and international companies and the problems they face differ in many ways. These differences increase the need for managers with international expertise. The rapid development of technology, the increase in information networks and the openness of financial markets to foreign investors and companies have increased the international interaction and integration of financial markets.

The International Finance program educates competent and well-equipped graduates who can benefit from technological opportunities and have a global perspective. Our graduates have career opportunities in the finance departments of both local and international companies or financial institutions, as well as they are equipped to start their own businesses.

Our Faculty, which aims to raise graduates with a perspective compatible with the dynamics of globalizing business life, stands out with the importance it attaches to interdisciplinary education.
