I got into Department of Industrial Engineering with full scholarship in 2007 and graduated in 2012. Having the opportunity to take a course at the Vaasan Yliopista - University of Vaasa in Finland with Erasmus for a semester has contributed a lot to both my personal development and my resume. The medium of instruction being English at the University and being offered an education quality at international standards helped me adapt to the Erasmus process in a short time. Thanks to the summer internships required by our department, it was a great opportunity to get to know the business life and to step into engineering in the first years of the University. After my graduation, I worked as an engineer at Japan Tobacco International and Fokker GKN companies. Now, I work as a Production Controller at Amcor Specialty Cartons, which is also a global company, and I support the Finance Department on cost analysis part-time.

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.
Dilara Barut
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."
Erdem Kalaycı
2012 - Software Engineering Graduate
This profession group is unlike any other profession group. Once you love it, once you have a taste of problem solving, you can always ask for more. These are my current thoughts, of course. It is a very classic story about this profession, in daily life you are often asked "this computer needs formatting, can you help?". Everything started this way for me as well. I spent all my summer holidays before university working at my cousins' computer shop. I had one goal, majoring about the computer!
