Today, the understanding of "knowledge is power" has been replaced by the understanding of "using knowledge is power". In this direction, Izmir University of Economics has adopted an education approach that not only equips its students with knowledge, but also allows the acquired knowledge to be used in real life.

2012 - International Trade and Finance Graduate
I started my undergraduate study in Tourism Management at Dokuz Eylül University in 2004. But three years have passed by the time I started to make different plans for my future. I can honestly say that taking the OSS exam again and being admitted to Izmir University of Economics has been a turning point in my life even though I have lost all that time. A real milestone…If I haven’t done that I would be engaged in a profession I really did not enjoy. Instead, I am working as a Comptroller at Ministry of Finance.

2012 - Fashion Design Graduate
It seems that my story started with the tape measure that my teacher hung around my neck while going to primary school. My friends at school representing While my classmates were selected as engineers, doctors or teachers for a school play I cried for being selected a tailor. Even if I was angry with my teacher for this choice that day, the first step of the profession I was going to do years later was taken in those years.

2020 - Interior Architecture and Environmental Design Graduate
After graduating from high school as a top student in 2015, I chose the Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design at Izmir University of Economics for my undergraduate education. During my undergraduate study, I performed internships in various companies and worked part-time. I graduated in 2020. I gained work experience in the field of interior architecture and furniture. As of 2021, I am pursuing my master's degree with thesis in the field of Design Studies at Izmir University of Economics. The most important reason why I chose this field is that I could focus on the subject I wanted to research with a multidisciplinary approach. Thanks to the courses I took during my master's education, I made an attempt that I had dreamed of for a long time.
