I graduated from Izmir University of Economics Vocational School Tourism and Hotel Management Program. I have been working as a Corporate Sales Specialist at Rise Group company since December 2019. Izmir University of Economics has contributed a lot to me. I can very well observe the values my school gave me in work life. In addition to the theoretical background I acquired during my education, I had a proactive working life with practical knowledge. The most important reason for me to take a fast step in my career was Izmir University of Economics Vocational School.

Fulya Akgül Durakçay
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.
Hazar Çetin
2010 - Visual Communication Design Graduate
Observing that the sector does not provide me with the personal development and conditions I want in Istanbul after I graduated, I decided to progress in a different sector that produces digital displays – project designing and content production. I had the opportunity to work closely with media purchasing and internal communication departments of different corporate companies in the Digital Signage sector, which allows me to improve myself on display technologies.
