I am one of the first students and one of the first graduates also. It wasn’t an easy decision; I had to take a risk. But I realized it was the best decision after I graduated. I can see it clearly now after the best quality education I received. I was able to find employment at companies I liked and put everything I learned into practice.

After graduation, I started to work as an Export Supervisor in Fjord Marin, a company with foreign partners, between 2010-2012. I worked at Opet Fuchs, first as a CFO assistant and then as a Budget-Reporting Specialist between 2012-2013. Afterwards, I worked as a Finance Specialist at CMS Jant Sanayi between 2013-2015. Thanks to be a graduate of Izmir University of Economics, the vision, foreign language, education and all the opportunities the University provided me with, I have become a very sophisticated professional in all these business experiences.
Gizem Arabacı
2011 - Media and Communication Graduate
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.
