Department of Public Finance

Hello, I’m Hasan Akgün. I am a third-year student at the Finance Department of Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University. Department of Finance is a 4-year undergraduate program, which is open to interdisciplinary development and offers a combination of courses with Law, Business and Economics courses. The students of our department are studying at Esenboğa Campus which is one of the campuses of our university. The department offers courses on Law, Economics, Business Administration, Political Science and Public Administration as well as Public Finance courses. Our university has a 24-hour-open library on weekdays and weekends, and many social facilities where we can develop culturally. There is no compulsory internship in our department, but if the student wants to do internship, our academic staffs provide the necessary support. After graduating from the department, we have the opportunity to work in the fields of accounting, auditing and administration in public sector, finance departments and private sector. In addition to my desire to pursue a career in public institutions, I chose the Department of Finance at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University because the language of instruction is English and the university is in Ankara. One of the opportunities I have benefited most from within the university is the teaching staff. Their approach to the student is more like a family member than an educator. Another opportunity is the additional courses offered for the Public Personnel Selection Exam. After graduation, I would like to have a master’s degree to be able to work in high level positions in public institutions and at the same time, to improve myself academically. My suggestion to friends who will prefer our university is that they should consider foreign language education while making their choices. They can also provide themselves a cultural diversity here, taking into account the number of international students at our university. In Advance, I wish success to the friends who will prefer the Finance Department of Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University.
