International Finance

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

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

Aiming to educate graduates with a perspective aligned with the dynamics of the globalizing business world, our Faculty stands out for the importance it attaches to interdisciplinary education. With our broad and distinguished academic staff, we offer our students a large number of diverse elective courses, enabling them to gain competencies suited to the wide variety of situations they may encounter in professional life.

The curriculum of our department has been designed to educate successful graduates with the contributions of the Bahçeşehir University Financial Research and Application Center (BFRC) and our CO-OP Center. Thanks to the applied courses they take at the Bahçeşehir University Financial Research and Application Center, the branded courses opened through our CO-OP Center and the internship opportunities provided, our students graduate as young adults who have developed practical skills in addition to theoretical knowledge.
