The Bachelor's Program in International Economics may not be suitable for certain groups of students, and these groups should consider carefully before opting for the program. Firstly, this program places great emphasis on quantitative skills such as mathematics and statistics. Thus, for students who do not enjoy working with mathematical analysis and numerical data, or who are weak in these areas, the program can be challenging. Since economic theories and models are often supported by mathematical expressions, students without sufficient prior knowledge or interest in these subjects may find it difficult to meet the requirements of the program.
Second, the International Economics program focuses on macroeconomic issues such as global economic systems, policies and international trade. For students who prefer to focus on the micro level, i.e. the economic decisions of individuals or small businesses, the content of the program may not be satisfactory. Since the program is generally based on global markets and international economic structures, it may not meet the expectations of students interested in local economic conditions or small business economics.
Third, the pace and intensity of the International Economics program may not be suitable for students who may struggle with time management, especially given the courses that require research projects and practical work. A heavy academic load, group projects and frequent assignments require the ability to manage time effectively due to the nature of the program. Therefore, the program may be stressful and challenging for students who may not be able to keep up with the intense pace of study or who may lose motivation under academic pressure.
Finally, while the International Economics program provides students with theoretical and applied knowledge of economics, it may not offer the opportunity to apply this knowledge directly and quickly to the business world. For students who are looking for practical work experience or who want to get into business life immediately rather than theoretical studies, this program may be insufficient to provide the practical and fast transitions they expect. This situation should be taken into consideration especially for students who prefer programs that provide more applied education for business life.
For these reasons, the International Economics Undergraduate Program may not be suitable for every student's interests and expectations. It is important for students to carefully evaluate this program and its alternatives in line with their abilities, interests and career goals.
