I graduated from Izmir University of Economics, Department of Psychology in 2016 as an honor student. I have to admit that when I was going to university for the first time, it made me very anxious to study at my dream program in English. But when I look back right now, I say "I am glad I did it". I owe my academic and social skills to my esteemed professors primarily and to Izmir University of Economics, which allowed them to touch my life.

2009 - Industrial Systems Engineering Graduate
I started my education at Izmir University of Economics in 2005 as one of the first students at Department of Industrial Systems Engineering (now Department of Industrial Engineering). Of course I had doubts about choosing a new department of a relatively young university, but, when I was convinced that the University offered a high quality education system and teaching staff based on the needs of the region and the country, my worries were replaced by a different excitement. In addition to being raised by internationally recognized academics during my 4 year undergraduate education, it was also rewarding to see our department maturing and improving along with us and being a part of it has always been a point where I felt the advantage.

I am one of the first graduates of Izmir University of Economics, Department of International Relations and European Union. Graduates of the Department of International Relations and European Union may be expected to be foreign service officer professionally, just as a law graduate is a lawyer or a cook graduate is a cook.

It was one of the best decisions I made to start Izmir University of Economics - Department of International Relations and EU, my first choice, in 2012 with a 100% scholarship.

2013 - Business Administration for Executives Graduate
I was born in 1976 in Eskişehir. I came to Izmir because I got into the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Dokuz Eylul University at the age of 18, and after graduation, I decided to continue my life in Izmir. Izmir, with its people and nature, is a city where I feel comfortable, where we live in peace with my family, and I hope it always stays like this.
