Ali Mat
2007 - International Trade and Finance Graduate
I started in 2002 and graduated in 2007. I had tremendous knowledge and experience in addition to long lasting friendships. I learned the best from the best teachers and being still in touch with them today makes my university step forward in my work life. I started my professional life in 2010 at DİMES, a leading fruit juice and Milk Company in Turkey, as Distribution Manager and Chain Stores Manager.

Egemen Akın
2009 - Industrial Systems Engineering Graduate
I started my education at Izmir University of Economics in 2005 as one of the first students at Department of Industrial Systems Engineering (now Department of Industrial Engineering). Of course I had doubts about choosing a new department of a relatively young university, but, when I was convinced that the University offered a high quality education system and teaching staff based on the needs of the region and the country, my worries were replaced by a different excitement. In addition to being raised by internationally recognized academics during my 4 year undergraduate education, it was also rewarding to see our department maturing and improving along with us and being a part of it has always been a point where I felt the advantage.
Barlas Ronay
2014 - Financial Economics Master’s Program Graduate
Upon completing elementary and middle school in Switzerland, I continued my high school and university education in Izmir, and I graduated from Department of Economics (English program), Ege University in 2010. Since I was raised with two cultures, I enrolled in Izmir University of Economics in 2012, which I thought was suitable for my world view and would be able to contribute to my career plans, would benefit me not only in Turkey but also in the international arena.
