Pay and demand in Turkey and beyond
The Turkish market. Turkey's banking sector is among the most developed in the region: banks, insurers, fintech and the Big Four audit firms hire graduates steadily. In Istanbul's finance, starting income is above the market average.

How to apply for Economics and Finance in Turkey
Admission to Economics and Finance programs at private Turkish universities runs on your school record: an 11-year certificate is accepted directly, and most universities skip entrance exams. Two prerequisites: a language certificate (TOEFL for English tracks, TÖMER for Turkish) and the denklik equivalence - we process the latter alongside your application. State universities may ask for the YÖS or SAT.
Start 6-9 months before the intake so there is time to compare current terms. We shortlist universities for Economics and Finance; discount or scholarship terms are confirmed in writing by the university or funding body.
