Alumni Success Stories

Buse Aydın

I started my undergraduate education at Izmir University of Economics, Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design in 2015.

The biggest advantage of Izmir University of Economics for me was that the courses were taught in English and we had a second foreign language option.

During my education, I gained different experiences and connections thanks to my valuable interior architect-architect professors, which was a great chance.

Burcu Başaran

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.

I am one of the first students and one of the first graduates also. It wasn’t an easy decision; I had to take a risk. But I realized it was the best decision after I graduated. I can see it clearly now after the best quality education I received. I was able to find employment at companies I liked and put everything I learned into practice.

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.

Kazım İnal

I became an Izmir University of Economics student by enrolling in the Civil Aviation Cabin Services Associate Degree Program as a result of my preferences in 2014. I packed my luggage and set off from Gaziantep to Izmir. Of course, I haven't been to Izmir before. I started my university life. We had a very nice class and teachers.
