I started Department of Logistics Management , Izmir University of Economics in 2009 with full scholarship. I graduated in 2014 as a top student in the department. During my university years, I studied at the Budapest Metropolitan University for a semester with the Erasmus program, which is an opportunity my school provided me. In fact, my journey to Budapest, which has a big place in my life, started this way.

2012 - Visual Communication Design Graduate
In 2012, I graduated from Izmir University of Economics-Department of Visual Communication Design with full scholarship and as the top student of the department. Thanks to courses such as applied workshops, we had the chance to visit many advertising agencies and production companies in Istanbul. In this way, the process of finding a job after graduation by establishing a business network became much more efficient. I started working as a field assistant and brand manager at Pozitif Music with the Rock'n Coke festival in 2011. I continued to work here as a freelance until 2015. As of 2012, I started to work as an art director in international advertising agencies (such as 4129Grey, Güzel Sanatlar Saatchi & Saatchi). I was promoted to Senior Art Director in a short time in the advertising industry, which I started as Junior Art Director.
Sena Tokgöz
2014 - Public Relations and Advertising Graduate
Life at university is nothing compared to high school or anything else. When I chose Izmir University of Economics in 2009, I asked myself if I made the right decision. 5 years were ahead of me to see if I made the right decision or not. I’ve always tried my best at Izmir University of Economics and became a successful student. I did not qualify for any scholarships when I first enrolled at school but my hard work paid off and I qualified for 50% merit scholarship. In addition to courses in Public Relations and Advertising, I’ve taken many other electives from variety of fields including Business and Software Engineering.

2017 - Distance Learning MBA without Thesis Graduate
I started MBA in the first year that Izmir University of Economics implemented distance education master's programs. Therefore, I am one of the first e-MBA students of our university to graduate. These investments made years ago in distance education give us a better understanding of its importance in the pandemic period we are in today. When I started my MBA, I was actively involved in business life and was living in Istanbul.

2003 - Business Administration Master Program Graduate
I had the privilege of attending the first graduation ceremony of Izmir University of Economics when I graduated from MBA program in 2003. When I was searching for graduate programs, I came across news about the establishment of our school and decided to attend the introduction meeting and enrolled in MBA program the first semester it started. I believe that receiving training from both estimable teachers in academia and experts from different sectors provided me a different point of view on business world and management.
