Burcu Başaran
2017 - Software Engineering Graduate
I enrolled in the Department of Software Engineering of Izmir University of Economics with a full scholarship in 2012. Even though the software engineering program was new in universities at that time, I started with enthusiasm with the encouragement of my brother and uncle. Many courses I took from engineering and other departments trained me to be a good engineer. With the second foreign language opportunity offered by the University, I had the opportunity to learn Spanish, which I always wanted to learn. Later, I started the Computer Games Certificate Program in the 3rd grade and had the opportunity to improve myself in this field. In the summer of the year I graduated, I went to Szeged, Hungary to perform an internship in the field of software testing, taking advantage of the Erasmus Program.

2009 - International Trade and Finance Graduate
My university life, which started at Izmir University of Economics in 2004, ended with my graduation in 2009. After completing my military service, I gained 1 year of commercial experience in the family business retail sector. To put into practice what university education has given me, I started to work as an import and export manager for 3 years in a company called Dirmak Makina in Izmir. At the end of 2013, I decided to move to Sweden to start a family. After 1 year of intensive Swedish language training, at the beginning of 2015, I started to work as an import export manager at Sydsvensk Form Reklam AB company, of which I am a 50% partner today.
