I graduated from Izmir University of Economics, Department of Economics in 2009. After graduation, I had four-year experience and expertise at different departments, like Logistics and Sales at Arkas Holding where I performed my internship before. In 2014, I began working as a logistics specialist in Petkim Petrochemical Holding, Turkey's only petrochemical plant. As of 2019, I continue to work as Logistics manager at SOCAR Turkey after a large integration process. I had projects and studies on the use of different transportation models and cost optimization in many areas of logistics, and we continue to develop new ones together with our teammates. I share my experience by mentoring students from IUE. I am proud to be from IUE.

2019 - Architecture Master's Program with Thesis (English) Graduate
Your dreams are as close to you as you chase them.
I had the opportunity to write a thesis on a research topic that interested me deeply by starting the Master's program in the Department of Architecture at Izmir University of Economics. I always believed in myself thanks to my esteemed advisor, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Aslı Ceylan ÖNER, who supported me with her unconditional interest during the thesis work I have prepared with great pleasure. What could be more exciting for me?
Fethi Saruhan
2018 - Business Administration Graduate
After graduating from high school with the first place in 2013, despite the many good options for me, my only choice was the Department of Business Administration at Izmir University of Economics with 100% scholarship. I can see how correct my decision was now, which seemed risky at first. I took my first step into entrepreneurship with the TUBITAK projects I developed during my high school years. I was introduced to the professional side of entrepreneurship with the entrepreneurship events organized by the Embryonix Incubation Center during my first year at the University.
İlayda Ürel
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.
