Department of Economics

Hello there, I am Turgut Dilaver, a student in the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences at Erzurum Technical University. The aim of the Department of Economics is to produce the well-equipped individuals required by in our country, who are well-educated and equipped with the necessities of our age and who are able to produce solutions to economic problems and develop policies. Our department is located on the campus of Erzurum Technical University. In general, the courses offered are Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Introduction to Economics, International Economics, Monetary Theory and Policy and foreign language courses. We have computer labs available to students which we can access at any time. In the third year, an internship is undertaken and in the fourth year, a graduation thesis is written. When we graduate from the department, there are many areas where we can work—in public institutions and organizations and in the private sector, for example, in banking, insurance and in finance sectors as well as international companies in specialist and managerial positions. In addition to the department of economics, graduate and academic careers are given in the fields of business, econometrics, labor economics and industrial engineering. I chose this department because it was an area where I could work and be interested. The reason why I chose Erzurum Technical University is that, because it is a new university, it has a young, dynamic teaching staff and it is a well-equipped faculty; it is a technical university which works in cooperation with 8 other universities. We have advisors from whom we can get ideas for planning the future. We have computer labs to improve ourselves and we have libraries that encourage you to study efficiently. I want to pursue an academic career after graduation. I can say that Erzurum Technical University is a university where candidates who want to improve themselves will not regret their choice. Erzurum is a city for those friends who wish to benefit from winter sports. Instead of looking at the map, I suggest that they look into it carefully and then come. I wish every success to all those friends taking the entrance exam.
