I completed International Trade and Finance and Business Administration (double major) undergraduate programs of Izmir University of Economics. Following my undergraduate education, I started the Finance Master program at Lund University, Sweden. As I was very satisfied with Lund University's graduate program, I started my doctorate in Business Finance at Lund University. After the doctorate, I received an offer from Utrecht University in the Netherlands, and I moved to the Netherlands. Since then, I have been working as an Assistant Professor of Finance at the Utrecht School of Economics. IUE not only provides high quality education thanks to its strong academic staff, but also contributes to the personal development of students by offering many social opportunities. I think that this strong and versatile education I received at IUE contributed greatly to my current career.

The main reasons why I chose our university, which I had the opportunity to get to know better during Career Days, are having a qualified academic staff, providing a second foreign language opportunity and having extensive social opportunities. After a year of preparatory study and improving my level of English, which was at the most basic level, I started doing a double major in Mathematics in the second year of my undergraduate education.
