In this direction, Izmir University of Economics has adopted an education approach that not only equips its students with knowledge, but also allows the acquired knowledge to be used in real life.

İdil Aktıhanoğlu
2011 - Fashion Design Graduate
Even though I was in Science-Mathematics department in high school and planned to become an engineer, I realized that I could not do a job I did not like my whole life. I had a change of mind in my senior year in high school , and I chose Department of Fashion Design of Izmir University of Economics. I did not have any idea about fashion design before, I consulted famous designers. I proved them right at the end of 4 years with the contributions of my school. There were many opportunities that my school provided me with during the school period.
