I graduated from the Department of Translation and Interpretation as a High Honor student, where I studied with a merit scholarship. I also had the chance to graduate from two departments at the same time by doing a double major in Department of International Relations and EU. The education I received at the University, my second foreign language, which increased with the French education I received at Manchester University of Salford, the internship I performed at the Ministry of European Union and many international projects I took part in played an important role in shaping my career plans. I had the opportunity to find a job shortly after graduation. I had work experience first at Logo Software company and then at Japan Tobacco International (JTI). Currently, I have been working at Apple for more than 7 years as a Senior Consultant for Ireland. Considering the opportunities, I think it is a good decision to be a student of Izmir University of Economics.
Kayahan Dede
2010 - Industrial Design Graduate
I graduated from Design Management Option, Department of Industrial Design, Faculty of Fine Arts and Design, Izmir University of Economics in 2010. Thanks to the design management option available only at my university in our country, learning not only the creativity side of the design but also the business world side of it made me very competitive in the labor market. So much so that I can think as a business administrator, a marketer and a public relations specialist and communicate with them in a technical sense, thanks to the interdisciplinary lessons we have studied and friends from different departments I met in these courses.
