I graduated from Izmir University of Economics Justice Program in 2015. In addition to the experience my university has brought me, I think many trainings and conferences I have received contributed to my personal development and business life. I started my business life in Izmir Metropolitan Municipality in the tender unit about 7 months after graduation and I am very happy to work here. I am grateful to my professors for their friendliness, kindness and trust in us who always supported us in terms of improving ourselves and changing our view of life and gave the best education in their field. I love them all. Looking back, I say I'm glad I studied at Izmir University of Economics and received my alumni card, which I proudly carry.

Aslı Nur Timur Yordanov
2015 - Architecture Graduate
I received my bachelor’s with a major in Architecture and a minor in Interior Architecture and Environmental Design from the Izmir University of Economics (IUE) in 2015. The most important factors that led me to select IUE was the distinguished professors, the courses being taught in English, and the opportunity to choose Italian as my 2nd foreign language during my degree. Thanks to my minor degree, I was selected to do an internship in Japan where I gained valuable experience and connections with professionals from different cultures and backgrounds. After graduating, I worked in the design, tender and construction phases of the retail and housing projects in FMB Architecture, Construction, and Project Management.

2011 - Media and Communication Graduate
I got into Izmir University of Economics Faculty of Communication, Department of Media and Communication with full scholarship, as my first choice in 2006. Almost everyone around me asked why I did not choose another school in Istanbul, that I would get into that school anyway. I never wanted to leave Izmir and I think the best place to get education in Izmir was Izmir University of Economics.
