Banking and Insurance Program
Department Introduction
Banks and insurance companies
are the most important financial institutions of modern free market economies.
These institutions not only offer a wide range of services in their respective
fields but also fulfil a social function by providing the financing needed by
companies.
The department consists of two
fields: banking and insurance. Banks are basically institutions that collect
deposits and provide loans. In addition, they also perform tasks such as making
money transfers, issuing letters of guarantee, opening letters of credit and
providing foreign trade financing, performing foreign exchange transactions;
and managing portfolios. Today, banks have begun to perform transactions such
as options, swaps and future transactions. Banks are also divided into
different types, such as trade, investment and development banks, according to
the work they do. We know that international banking also plays a very
important role in the globalization process. A banker is a professional who has
knowledge and expertise about these transactions.
Insurance companies provide insurance to their customers in many different
areas: in our daily lives, we know that there are many types of insurance such
as health, life, traffic, earthquake, agriculture, natural disaster, accident,
etc. Insurance companies operate within an international hierarchical structure
through reinsurance practices, giving them an international dimension. An
insurance professional is an individual who possesses knowledge and expertise
regarding all insurance processes and services. The department's curriculum
includes common courses required for both banking and insurance. Specialization
in only one of the two areas will be achieved through elective courses
determined starting from the third year.
