Ph. D. in Economics (in English)
Why Economics Ph.D. at Ibn Haldun University?
The scope of modern economic theory covers a wide range, including analyzing the economic behavior of individuals, firms, countries, and international institutions. With the fast developments in the information technology sector beginning in the 1990s, the economic behavior of all agents has become a phenomenon that needs to be analyzed at the global level. Despite a resurrection of the impact of nationalist views on the economic behavior of countries, globalization is still an important ongoing issue. Thus, the analysis of the developments in the goods, labor, and financial markets, as well as the interaction among them, from a scientific point of view, is essential for developing policies at the country or global level.
The Ph.D. program at Ibn Haldun University invites students from different educational backgrounds. It aims to build skills that will help them understand and analyze economic issues and bring policy solutions to them. During the coursework period, students can choose from a wide range of elective courses according to their areas of interest besides the compulsory economics courses. The dissertation period following the coursework will allow them to apply their knowledge to contemporary issues in the field of economics from a theoretical and practical point of view. English is the language of Ph.D. education in economics, giving students prestigious job opportunities in Turkey and across the globe.
