After spending 5 very happy years at our school, I graduated from the Department of Business Administration in June 2019. I performed internship at Vakıfbank in third grade, and with my interest in the finance sector, I started my career with ING's Future Managers Training Program in July 2019. After a 3-month training period, I started to work as a commercial portfolio manager. My school's contributions to me in this way are countless, and still continue. You can clearly see what a good university contributes to you in your business life and social relations. Finally, my university will always remain unforgettable for me ..

2009 - International Relations and European Union Graduate
The undergraduate education I started to study at Izmir University of Economics in 2004 has created a solid foundation for me to start my academic career. Thanks to the presentations and assignments we prepared in classes, as well as the encouragement of active participation by all our professors in the Department of International Relations and the European Union, which I studied very fondly, the fact that analytical thinking and questioning became an indispensable part of our learning was reflected in all areas of my life.

Simin Ercan
2012 - International Relations and European Union Graduate
I stepped into Izmir University of Economics in 2002 for the first time. I dropped out of school in 2004 due to unexpected sad events. I returned to school in 2009 at the insistence of my family. During this time, I got married and became a mother. Everyone except me believed I could graduate, but I was caught between motherhood and being a student. Then I decided what I really wanted. I was very happy to be a part of Izmir University of Economics.
