Turuhan Alkır
2017 - International Relations and European Union Graduate
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 graduated from the Department of Translation and Interpretation as a High Honor student, where I studied with a merit scholarship. I also had the chance to graduate from two departments at the same time by doing a double major in Department of International Relations and EU.
Ayşegül Palamutcu
2015 - Department of Media and Communications Graduate
“The class newspaper we published in elementary school and the small plays I wrote and staged were my first steps toward an interest in the world of communication. This curiosity gradually turned into a passion and led me to the Department of Media and Communication at Izmir University of Economics. Thanks to the strong academic staff and modern studio facilities, my university years became one of the most valuable periods that shaped my career.
Baran Ölekli
2012 - Public Relations and Advertising Graduate
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.
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.
