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.

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.

2011 - Translation and Interpretation (English) Graduate
Izmir University of Economics was my dream university. Because in 2007 it was one of the rare universities that had translation booths. That's why it was my first choice. I didn't regret my decision at all when I came to the University. You can be sure that it is a university that breaks the perception of most of the people around as "Private university, you pay, and you graduate."

2014 - Financial Economics Master’s Program Graduate
Upon completing elementary and middle school in Switzerland, I continued my high school and university education in Izmir, and I graduated from Department of Economics (English program), Ege University in 2010. Since I was raised with two cultures, I enrolled in Izmir University of Economics in 2012, which I thought was suitable for my world view and would be able to contribute to my career plans, would benefit me not only in Turkey but also in the international arena.

2014 - Visual Communication Design Graduate
Choosing a university and department creates a great responsibility for every student. Although I had ideas in mind before taking the university exam, I took the time to get to know the universities and departments. I was able to get into many of the public universities and programs that I had in mind, and I never planned to study at a private / foundation university. However, as I researched further, I decided that I should examine universities not only by name, department, city but also in terms of the opportunities they offer, and that my choice would only be correct in this way. And thanks to this mind frame, I met Izmir University of Economics. During the open house, the student mentors were giving a tour around campus for prospective students who came to see and learn about Izmir University of Economics.
