METU Economics

Faculty of Economic and Administrative Sciences

METU Economics examines how economic systems function through mathematical models and theory, and is one of the most well-established departments in the Faculty of Economic and Administrative Sciences. Courses such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, and international economics form the foundation of the curriculum.

The department requires a strong foundation in mathematics and statistics — METU Economics is known as one of the most analytical/mathematical economics programs in the country. Alongside theoretical models, performing econometric analysis on real datasets is an important part of the curriculum.

Graduates can work in banking and finance, at public institutions (such as the Central Bank, the Treasury, or the Ministry of Development), international organizations (such as the World Bank or IMF), consulting firms, or in academia.

Anyone choosing this department should enjoy mathematics and statistics, be curious about economic/social issues, and be open to analytical thinking.
