UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
This program is designed to provide a solid understanding of banking and financial studies and to develop advanced
communication skills in English and French which are necessary for banking and finance. The first year is a foundation course
in both banking/finance and languages. Starting in the second year, courses become more specialized, allowing in-depth study
of banking and finance topics with a focus on real-world applications.
Banking and Finance Component
The banking and finance component of the program is carried out in English and French as a second foreign language.
It seeks to develop competence in financial markets and organizations.
This is complemented by the use of computer assisted applications related to
banking and finance. Additionally, two one-month training periods are incorporated into the
summer programs aiming to familiarize students with the working environment in financial institutions
and other business organizations.
Language Component
The language courses develop general oral and written language
skills as well as more specialized skills such as translating, report writing, negotiating,
analyzing and synthesizing within the wider context of business. In the language work most of the
practical sessions may be function-based and devoted to a given skill (oral work, translation into Turkish).
Other language work is topic-based and focuses more on business communications involving case studies that
culminate in oral presentations and business reports.
