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.

2017 - Electrical-Electronics Engineering Graduate
I started my education at Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering in Izmir University of Economics in 2012. In my first year, I finished the preparatory program in half a semester and participated in a volunteer internship program in OMSK, Russia, where I taught English to young children. I performed one-month internships in summer in laboratories.
Gonca Bağlar
2013 - Psychology Graduate
I took my first step to psychology department, field I was dying to study at since middle school, in 2008 at Izmir University of Economics as my third choice. After completing a successful five-year education with full scholarship, I graduated as Honor Student in 2013. On my first day at school, I said to myself, “What am I doing here?” I’ve always though different about private schools, and never thought I would study at one until the last day.
Volkan Koç
2005 - Business Administration Graduate
The journey I started as one of the first students of Izmir University of Economics in 2001 has been one of the most meaningful turning points of my life. After 4 full years, I became one of the first graduates of the Faculty of Business Administration in 2005. The education I received, the experiences I gained and the contributions of my esteemed professors have been the most important force that carried me to success in different sectors.
Ömer Kartal
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.
