Since my early teenage years, I have had a keen interest in understanding poverty and world development. I’d always wanted to study an interdisciplinary subject, which provided real-world learning, and I think, I could not have made a better choice than to study economics. Based on an outstanding high school transcript and great results in the university entrance examinations, many universities accepted me to their undergraduate programs. I decided to accept a full scholarship offer from the Izmir University of Economics.
Ezgi Çakmak Kesimli
2005 - Business Administration Graduate
I am one of the first students and one of the first graduates also. It wasn’t an easy decision; I had to take a risk. But I realized it was the best decision after I graduated. I can see it clearly now after the best quality education I received. I was able to find employment at companies I liked and put everything I learned into practice.

2017 - Software Engineering Graduate
I enrolled in the Department of Software Engineering of Izmir University of Economics with a full scholarship in 2012. Even though the software engineering program was new in universities at that time, I started with enthusiasm with the encouragement of my brother and uncle. Many courses I took from engineering and other departments trained me to be a good engineer. With the second foreign language opportunity offered by the University, I had the opportunity to learn Spanish, which I always wanted to learn. Later, I started the Computer Games Certificate Program in the 3rd grade and had the opportunity to improve myself in this field. In the summer of the year I graduated, I went to Szeged, Hungary to perform an internship in the field of software testing, taking advantage of the Erasmus Program.

2015 - Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering Graduate
I graduated from Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering in 2015. At first I was very concerned about the University, but at the end of my 4 years, I can say that Izmir University of Economics is a university that provides opportunities for its students to develop themselves both academically and socially. The course contents and English education in line with the European standards that I had taken during my study helped me to get accepted to my master's degree abroad. After I graduated, I did my master's degree on "Information of Technology" at Tallinn University of Technology in Estonia.

2016 - Civil Aviation Cabin Services Graduate
I became an Izmir University of Economics student by enrolling in the Civil Aviation Cabin Services Associate Degree Program as a result of my preferences in 2014. I packed my luggage and set off from Gaziantep to Izmir. Of course, I haven't been to Izmir before. I started my university life. We had a very nice class and teachers.
