Simin Ercan
2012 - International Relations and European Union Graduate
I stepped into Izmir University of Economics in 2002 for the first time. I dropped out of school in 2004 due to unexpected sad events. I returned to school in 2009 at the insistence of my family. During this time, I got married and became a mother. Everyone except me believed I could graduate, but I was caught between motherhood and being a student. Then I decided what I really wanted. I was very happy to be a part of Izmir University of Economics.

2018 - Computeer Engineering Graduate
Combining my close interest in technology and its derivatives since my childhood and the international profile curriculum of Izmir University of Economics, I saw the Computer Engineering department as the perfect fit for me and I graduated in 2018. Within the month of my graduation, I came to Istanbul and participated in a consultancy program organized by the global-scale SAP company and finished the program with the first place.

2005 - International Relations and European Union Graduate
I am one of the first graduates of Izmir University of Economics, Department of International Relations and European Union. Graduates of the Department of International Relations and European Union may be expected to be foreign service officer professionally, just as a law graduate is a lawyer or a cook graduate is a cook.
Erdal Erdoğdu
2011 - Public Relations and Advertising Graduate
“How many public relations and advertising departments are there so that they take their students around the leading agencies of our country under the name of Media Trip, introduce the sector to them or host the leading names of the sector in their classes every week. These were good opportunities for us, and I believe I made good use of this opportunity for myself. Because I first met my first boss on a media trip in 2010.”
Candaş Ener Erdener
2007 - International Trade and Finance Graduate
I started at Department of International Trade and Finance with 100% scholarship in 2003 and graduated in 2007 with High Honors. The most important thing the University helped me with was to equip me with presentation skills by improving my analytical skills. When I graduated, I prepared for inspectorship exams of the banks in the light of theoretical information I learned, and passed the first exam I took. I started my career as Assistant Inspector at Turkish Economy Bank.
