Our department, which started accepting students for the first time in the 2011-2012 academic year, was established to meet the need for trained personnel in financial matters in both the public and private sectors. In line with its contemporary mission and vision, the Finance Department aims to train bureaucrats, academics, and entrepreneurs who will achieve significant successes in their fields. With its experienced and scientifically proven academic staff, the department is taking important steps toward becoming a successful department that produces respected finance professionals in accordance with universal university culture, academic discipline, and quality understanding.

The main objective of the Finance Department is to provide its students with the necessary scientific and professional skills to take on responsibilities as middle and senior-level managers and auditors in the public sector. In this context, our department consists of four main fields: Financial Law, Financial Economics, Finance Theory, and Budget and Financial Planning. To achieve its goals, our department implements a detailed program that allows for a comprehensive understanding of public economics, public finance, public budgeting, and tax law in all its dimensions. Courses in economics, law, business, mathematics, statistics, and computer usage are also included in the curriculum. The interdisciplinary nature of our undergraduate program is one of the key factors that gives our graduates an advantage in career exams.
