Alumni Success Stories

Yudum Acar

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. 

Gizem Arabacı

I got into Izmir University of Economics Faculty of Communication, Department of Media and Communication with full scholarship, as my first choice in 2006. Almost everyone around me asked why I did not choose another school in Istanbul, that I would get into that school anyway. I never wanted to leave Izmir and I think the best place to get education in Izmir was Izmir University of Economics. 

Anıl Akıl

started to study at Department of Industrial Systems Engineering in 2008 and graduated in 2012. Izmir University of Economics, with all it has to offer, is a university where a student can improve in different areas and receive the best quality education. I had the best four years of studying there academically and socially. I benefitted from everything the University offered to the best of my ability. I spent a semester at “Baden Württemberg Corporate State University” in Germany in 2011 as part of Erasmus Student Exchange Program.

I have squeezed 2 diplomas, 4 internships, 9 short films, 14 theater plays and hundreds of good memories into my Izmir University of Economics adventure that started in 2012. I graduated from the Department of International Relations and EU with a full scholarship in 2017, and from the Department of Media and Communication (my double major program) in 2018 as a high honor student.

Buse Aydın

I started my undergraduate education at Izmir University of Economics, Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design in 2015.

The biggest advantage of Izmir University of Economics for me was that the courses were taught in English and we had a second foreign language option.

During my education, I gained different experiences and connections thanks to my valuable interior architect-architect professors, which was a great chance.
