Candaş Ener Erdener

I started at Department of International Trade and Finance with 100% scholarship in 2003 and graduated in 2007 with High Honors. The most important thing the University helped me with was to equip me with presentation skills by improving my analytical skills. When I graduated, I prepared for inspectorship exams of the banks in the light of theoretical information I learned, and passed the first exam I took. I started my career as Assistant Inspector at Turkish Economy Bank.

I crossed paths with Izmir University of Economics on an autumn day in 2004. It was the place where I had the best four years of my life; and established fine friendships in addition to achieving academic competencies. I graduated from Department of Business Administration in 2008 and was accepted to a master’s program at University of Hertfordshire, London the same year with references from my instructors in order to further my education and have experience.
