Overview

Çankırı Karatekin University Department of Finance and Banking was established by the faculty board decision dated 23.07.2013. The Department of Finance and Banking accepted its first undergraduate students in the 2015-2016 academic year and its first master`s degree students in the 2019-2020 academic year. Our department still continues its education at undergraduate and graduate levels.

There are four separate departments in our department: Banking, Securities and Stock Exchange, Risk Management and Insurance, and International Capital Markets. A total of 5 academic staff work in our department, including 1 Professor, 2 Associate Professors and 2 Assistant Professors.

Our students graduate with sufficient qualifications to meet the personnel needs of organizations within the financial system, thanks to the finance courses they have taken throughout their education and practical knowledge about professions such as banking and insurance. For this reason, students who successfully graduate from the Finance and Banking department can start their careers by working in public and private banks, insurance companies or agencies, as well as institutions and organizations such as the Ministry of Finance, the Undersecretariat of Treasury, the Court of Accounts, BRSA, CMB, factoring and leasing companies, consultancy companies and other public institutions. and they can be employed in the finance departments of private sector enterprises.

Our graduates can generally find jobs in titles such as operations/sales officer, insurance agency technical personnel, insurance broker, financial coordinator, financial reporting specialist, budget and financial planning specialist, financial analyst, auditor, portfolio manager, account specialist.

In addition, our students can have an independent profession as an Independent Accountant and Certified Public Accountant, or they can also practice the teaching profession by receiving pedagogical formation training.

Also, our department has switched to the 7+1 model education system, which is implemented as a concrete step of university-industry cooperation, for our students who will enroll from the 2024-2025 academic year.

With this model, we aim to raise all our students as individuals ready for business life at the graduation stage and to introduce them to the business world.

In our 7+1 Education Model, our students will receive 7 semesters of formal education and 1 semester (14 weeks) of full-time practical training in businesses. In this way, our students will have the opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge they receive in business life and will be equipped to successfully take part in the business world after graduation. This process will help our students take the first steps in their careers more safely and successfully.
