Alumni Success Stories

Ekrem Sözdinler

It was one of the best decisions I made to start Izmir University of Economics - Department of International Relations and EU, my first choice, in 2012 with a 100% scholarship. My major gave me an international perspective and a wide range of cultures. I tried to be as active as possible throughout my university life. During my undergraduate education, I gained various internship experiences.

I graduated from Supply Chain Management Associate Degree Program in 2015. Later, I graduated from Anadolu University Open and Distance Education by completing the Business Administration undergraduate degree. Following that, I worked as an operation documentation officer at Omega Global Logistics, which serves as a forwarder, in order to use the theoretical and practical training I received at Izmir University of Economics.

The scholarship opportunities and the high-level academic staff, all of whom had previously worked at prestigious international universities, were influential in my decision to choose the Department of Economics at Izmir University of Economics, where I enrolled in 2002 with a full scholarship. 

Baran Ölekli

When I entered Izmir University of Economics in 2007, where the medium of instruction is English, my English level was not at the beginner level. Thanks to the English Preparatory Program at Izmir University of Economics School of Foreign Languages, I successfully completed the English preparatory class in 1 year. In 2011, we visited leading advertising agencies and Corporate Communications units of corporate companies in Istanbul, which is the center of the media, communication and advertising sectors, within the scope of the industry trip in the 3rd grade. I had the opportunity to meet professionals in Istanbul and sent my resume for internship application.
