Alumni Success Stories

Selen Şener

The Footwear Design and Manufacturing Program, which I chose willingly in 2017 and got into with a 100% scholarship, was one of the best decisions I made for my future. Thanks to the university's facilities, the workshops, fashion shows, "Students Consulting Experts" events, entrepreneurship courses and fairs helped us strengthen our bond with the industry, analyze the market and manage customer relations. 

Murat Can Karagöz

I spent 4 months in Florida, USA with the WAT program, after completing the foreign language courses I had to complete for the Department of International Trade and Finance, which I attended very fondly and willingly in 2012. When I started my education in the department, I pursued the opportunities to study abroad and in the 3rd grade I studied at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (SWPS University) in Warsaw, Poland for a semester.

Mete Ömerali

I’ve always wanted to become a Computer Engineer. Even in a middle school yearbook, my friends wrote about seeing me as Computer Engineer in the future. My personal interests and the importance of technologies in our lives made me become a student at Department of Computer Engineering at Izmir University of Economics in 2004. After I graduated, I started to work with Embryonix, a great advantage offered by the University. My first job experience started in my senior year and continued the following year.

Simin Ercan

I stepped into Izmir University of Economics in 2002 for the first time. I dropped out of school in 2004 due to unexpected sad events. I returned to school in 2009 at the insistence of my family. During this time, I got married and became a mother. Everyone except me believed I could graduate, but I was caught between motherhood and being a student. Then I decided what I really wanted. I was very happy to be a part of Izmir University of Economics.
