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.

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.

2020 - Interior Architecture and Environmental Design Graduate
After graduating from high school as a top student in 2015, I chose the Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design at Izmir University of Economics for my undergraduate education. During my undergraduate study, I performed internships in various companies and worked part-time. I graduated in 2020. I gained work experience in the field of interior architecture and furniture. As of 2021, I am pursuing my master's degree with thesis in the field of Design Studies at Izmir University of Economics. The most important reason why I chose this field is that I could focus on the subject I wanted to research with a multidisciplinary approach. Thanks to the courses I took during my master's education, I made an attempt that I had dreamed of for a long time.
