History

Concurrent with its initial years of operation, the faculty experienced a growing interest from students in selecting its academic programs. Annually, an increasing number of students, particularly those from technical and engineering backgrounds, were drawn to sit for the entrance examinations for these fields—majors that had previously attracted less attention from this cohort.

This trend persisted, culminating in recent years where, for instance, admission into the MBA program has become more competitive than many technical and engineering majors in the Master's degree entrance exam, with a significantly higher number of applicants. This shift demonstrates the positive reception of the faculty's educational initiatives among the student body and reflects a broadening interest in management and economic disciplines.

This heightened appeal can likely be attributed to the faculty's dedicated adherence to the pedagogical standards and curricular content prevalent in leading global educational institutions for these fields, both in its teaching methodology and academic material.

The faculty is internationally recognized, and its graduates are highly sought after by leading global universities for postgraduate studies. Notably, our alumni have gained admission to world-renowned institutions such as the University of Chicago Department of Economics, the London School of Economics, Harvard University, and MIT — all consistently ranked among the top economics schools worldwide. Many have distinguished themselves as outstanding students in these programs, reflecting the quality of education they received here.

This international recognition underscores the high standard of academic training offered at the faculty. In addition, there is growing demand for our graduates within domestic organizations. In recent years, it has become common for students to receive attractive job offers from the labor market even before completing their degrees.
