Abstract: Today, developing information technologies and financial systems affect every area of our lives. Financial literacy knowledge, even that ordinary citizens, positively affects some of the financial decisions that they will make regarding their lives. In this context, it is important to determine the financial literacy level of individuals. In this study, the financial literacy level of students studying at Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences (İ.İ.B.F.) was investigated in order to examine the financial literacy status of university students. In addition, how the level of financial literacy was affected by different variables such as the level of being affected by the lessons given on the subject and the students’ opinions about education, was also measured. According to the findings obtained from the study, students’ lessons and gender do not affect the level of financial literacy. Rather, financial literacy levels are affected by students’ self-evaluation of their own financial literacy, the grades they have studied and GPA. Findings obtained from the study generally show that students’ financial literacy level is low.
