As of the summer of 2005, I was undecided between choosing a university in Istanbul or Izmir. I decided to choose a university in Izmir because I love the city I live in and thought that universities in Izmir could contribute a lot to my future career. When I started to research universities in Izmir, Izmir University of Economics had come to the fore both in terms of its teaching staff and its vision. In my meetings with IEU students at that time, I heard that everyone was extremely satisfied with the university.

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.

2017 - International Relations and European Union Graduate
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. My major gave me an international perspective and a wide range of cultures. I tried to be as active as possible throughout my university life. During my undergraduate education, I gained various internship experiences.
