Alumni Success Stories

Ömer Kartal

I started my undergraduate study in Tourism Management at Dokuz Eylül University in 2004.  But three years have passed by the time I started to make different plans for my future. I can honestly say that taking the OSS exam again and being admitted to Izmir University of Economics has been a turning point in my life even though I have lost all that time. A real milestone…If I haven’t done that I would be engaged in a profession I really did not enjoy. Instead, I am working as a Comptroller at Ministry of Finance.

When I was about to graduate from the Occupational Health and Safety Program in 2022, I started my internship at Ateş Wind Power facility with the reference of my teacher Aydın Aktuğ.

Oylum Dikmen Güleryüz

I graduated from Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design, Izmir University of Economics as a top student  by completing my thesis in 2009. Between 2009 and 2011, I actively worked as an interior architect in the architectural firm of our family. During this period that I spent in the market; I realized many successful projects thanks to the qualified education I received at my university. 

Büşra Kırmızıoğlu

Immediately after graduating with honors in 2009, I completed my academic education in 2011, which I continued at a postgraduate degree in Istanbul. I gained professional experience for 3 years in different advertising and PR agencies in Istanbul. As a result of my application to the lecturing staff opened by YOK in the Rectorate of Pamukkale University in 2017, I was entitled to work as a Public Relations Specialist in this institution. I have been working as the Director of Press and Public Relations since 2019 at the institution where I am still working. Since the very beginning of my career, the most important fact that I learned during my education at Izmir University of Economics and which sheds light on me is the fact that as long as the information was conveyed to people with a correct communication method, that information provided a benefit beyond the meaning acknowledged by the next generation.
