Burcu Çeliksap
2012 - Visual Communication Design Graduate
In 2012, I graduated from Izmir University of Economics-Department of Visual Communication Design with full scholarship and as the top student of the department. Thanks to courses such as applied workshops, we had the chance to visit many advertising agencies and production companies in Istanbul. In this way, the process of finding a job after graduation by establishing a business network became much more efficient. I started working as a field assistant and brand manager at Pozitif Music with the Rock'n Coke festival in 2011. I continued to work here as a freelance until 2015. As of 2012, I started to work as an art director in international advertising agencies (such as 4129Grey, Güzel Sanatlar Saatchi & Saatchi). I was promoted to Senior Art Director in a short time in the advertising industry, which I started as Junior Art Director.

Afterwards, I worked for a China-based company for a different experience and developed my international business skills.

2018 - Business Administration Master Program Graduate
I graduated from MBA in 2018. After I completed my education in Germany, where I was born, I received my undergraduate education in the Netherlands. I studied Business Administration - Marketing in the Netherlands and during that time I had the opportunity to perform internships at many businesses. Due to my interest in the automotive industry, I have worked in Volkswagen, Audi and TRW / ZF Marketing departments. After graduating from the undergraduate program, I researched the master's programs, learned that medium of education was English at Izmir University of Economics and attended the introductory meeting.
Gülbalca Çakıroğlu
2012 - Psychology Graduate
After I graduated from the Department of Psychology, Izmir University of Economics, which is dear to me, I was accepted to Dokuz Eylül University Clinical Neuroscience Master's program due to my interest in brain and its working principles. My acceptance process of course was not easy like every other success story, as someone who graduated from the Turkish-Mathematics department in a bad high school education, it was beyond my dream to enter a department that accepted students with quantitative score type.
