Banking (Turkish) - Thesis Program

Purpose of the Program

In our country, banking is a rapidly growing sector and a pioneer in integration with international markets. For this reason, in recent years, it has been observed that banks throughout the country have been increasingly expanding their services to individuals, companies and especially the real sector, small and medium-sized enterprises, and diversifying their credit and financial product portfolios with the introduction of the mortgage system. While this development has increased the demand for qualified labor on the one hand, it has also revealed the need for those currently working in the sector to continuously develop their professional skills.

Professionals currently working in the banking sector attach great importance to their personal development in order to contribute to their professional experience and to adapt more quickly to new developments in the sector. On the other hand, new candidates looking for a career opportunity in the banking sector aim to create a professional infrastructure in this field where competition is intense. Our Banking Program offers significant opportunities to candidates and new graduates who work in the sector and want to develop their work experience with an academic career.

The aim of our Banking Master's Program is to provide basic professional knowledge in the field of banking to candidates who work in the banking sector or want to work in the sector, to develop their professional experience in risk management, fund management and portfolio management, and to provide skills in customer relationship management.
