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.

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.

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.
