I started my undergraduate study in Tourism Management at Dokuz Eylül University in 2004. But three years have passed by the time I started to make different plans for my future. I can honestly say that taking the OSS exam again and being admitted to Izmir University of Economics has been a turning point in my life even though I have lost all that time. A real milestone…If I haven’t done that I would be engaged in a profession I really did not enjoy. Instead, I am working as a Comptroller at Ministry of Finance.
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.

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.

Since I was young, I have been interested in fashion, design, and sports. In 2020, I graduated with honors from the Department of Industrial Design at Izmir University of Economics. During my university life, in addition to internships related to my major, I volunteered in many different career fields to gain experience, even though I loved my major very much.

I started studying Mechatronics Engineering in 2017 with a 50% scholarship and graduated as the top student in my department in 2023. During this time, I had the opportunity to develop myself to the fullest thanks to the high-quality education I received from our esteemed academics and the opportunity to study two foreign languages provided by my University.
