I graduated from Izmir University of Economics, Department of Psychology in 2014. After working with individuals with intellectual disability for 1 year at the Disabled Care Center in Kemalpaşa, Izmir, I completed my military service as a psychologist second lieutenant in Hakkari/Çukurca for 1 year.

2008 - Business Administration Graduate
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.

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.
Emre Bilgin
2010 - Business Administration Graduate
When I think back about my life since the day I took the first step at Izmir University of Economics as a student, I always remember the importance of that first step. When I started my education in the Department of Business Administration in 2005, I knew that there was a lot I wanted to do with my interest and enthusiasm, but when I look back now, I did not imagine this much. I think that I spent my undergraduate years as actively as possible, as I decided to spend a period of my education in France with the Erasmus Student Exchange program in the preparatory class.

2021 - Genetics and Bioengineering Graduate
I graduated from the Department of Genetics and Bioengineering in 2021. Throughout my university life, my primary goal was to discover which field I wanted to work in. During this process, I undertook many internships and participated in various programs and conferences to explore different areas. Each experience further shaped my interests. In particular, a valuable speaker I listened to at a conference significantly influenced my career path.
