Alumni Success Stories

Turuhan Alkır

I have squeezed 2 diplomas, 4 internships, 9 short films, 14 theater plays and hundreds of good memories into my Izmir University of Economics adventure that started in 2012. I graduated from the Department of International Relations and EU with a full scholarship in 2017, and from the Department of Media and Communication (my double major program) in 2018 as a high honor student.

I started working as an industrial designer at Günsel Automobile firm of Near East University in 2018. First I was in the interior design team of the B9 vehicle. In the following period, I became the interior team leader and had the opportunity to work on dashboard, center console, interior color and pattern. Later, I took over the project management of an SUV concept vehicle called J9 and we had the opportunity to introduce this concept at launching. I am currently working as an industrial design team leader.

I got into Izmir University of Economics Faculty of Communication, Department of Media and Communication with full scholarship, as my first choice in 2006. Almost everyone around me asked why I did not choose another school in Istanbul, that I would get into that school anyway. I never wanted to leave Izmir and I think the best place to get education in Izmir was Izmir University of Economics.

In every period of my education life, the lesson I was most interested in and the most successful was mathematics. Therefore, in 2008, it was inevitable that my preference form would consist of mathematics departments of universities. And why Izmir University of Economics? The well-equipped academic staff who have contributed greatly to science with their articles and books published in Turkey and abroad, scholarship opportunities, student life in a wonderful city like Izmir, and the medium of instruction being English, as well as the second foreign language education they provide played an important role in my choice of the Mathematics Department of Izmir University of Economics.
