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.
Hazar Çetin
2010 - Visual Communication Design Graduate
Observing that the sector does not provide me with the personal development and conditions I want in Istanbul after I graduated, I decided to progress in a different sector that produces digital displays – project designing and content production. I had the opportunity to work closely with media purchasing and internal communication departments of different corporate companies in the Digital Signage sector, which allows me to improve myself on display technologies.

2020 - International Trade and Finance Graduate
I started at Izmir University of Economics in 2015 in the Department of International Trade and Finance. Thanks to this program, which provides 100% English education, I gained not only theoretical knowledge, but also a global perspective, critical thinking and analytical competencies. In 2020, I graduated as a high honor student.
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.
Berke Bilsev
2023 - Mechatronics Engineering Graduate
I started studying Mechatronics Engineering in 2017 with a 50% scholarship and graduated as the top student in my department in 2023. During this time, I had the opportunity to develop myself to the fullest thanks to the high-quality education I received from our esteemed academics and the opportunity to study two foreign languages provided by my University.
