As Izmir University of Economics Alumni Relations Office, we continue alumni information update activities to strengthen our communication with you, our esteemed alumni. By expanding the scope of what we regularly do every year, we decided to conduct a survey this year to have more information about you and to learn about your expectations about the University.
The information requested by you in the survey will be used to support our graduates for career planning, to monitor graduate success, and to create an alumni network. In addition, they will be maintained by the Alumni Relations Office to support education, teaching and research studies and research on social, cultural, and academic activities of the University.
Volkan Eröztekin
2015 - Economics Graduate
I got into Department of Economics, Izmir University of Economics with a full scholarship in 2010. The main reasons why I chose our university, which I had the opportunity to get to know better during Career Days, are having a qualified academic staff, providing a second foreign language opportunity and having extensive social opportunities. After a year of preparatory study and improving my level of English, which was at the most basic level, I started doing a double major in Mathematics in the second year of my undergraduate education.
Onur Güzey
2006 - Business Administration Graduate
I started my academic life as one of the first students of the university in 2001. Throughout our education life, we have had valuable teachers who have a reputation in their own fields, worked in certain areas of business and taught us to open every door. Izmir University of Economics is a turning point in my life, where I assumed the presidency of the student council in 2005-2006, and in the following years, where I took part in the management of the alumni association for a few years.
Murat Esen
2008 - Banking and Insurance Graduate
I started the Banking and Insurance program in 2004. In addition to the education process, I had the honor of representing this distinguished institution that we are a member of, with the social opportunities provided by my university, the opportunity to do sports and the success we have achieved with our school team. During the education process, I had the opportunity to develop myself in terms of different competencies.
İlayda Ürel
2014 - Visual Communication Design Graduate
Choosing a university and department creates a great responsibility for every student. Although I had ideas in mind before taking the university exam, I took the time to get to know the universities and departments. I was able to get into many of the public universities and programs that I had in mind, and I never planned to study at a private / foundation university. However, as I researched further, I decided that I should examine universities not only by name, department, city but also in terms of the opportunities they offer, and that my choice would only be correct in this way. And thanks to this mind frame, I met Izmir University of Economics. During the open house, the student mentors were giving a tour around campus for prospective students who came to see and learn about Izmir University of Economics.
Gizem Erboz
2014 - Logistics Management Graduate
I started Department of Logistics Management , Izmir University of Economics in 2009 with full scholarship. I graduated in 2014 as a top student in the department. During my university years, I studied at the Budapest Metropolitan University for a semester with the Erasmus program, which is an opportunity my school provided me. In fact, my journey to Budapest, which has a big place in my life, started this way.
