I went to the university with love and desire to learn, especially thanks to the support of my teacher Gazihan Alankuş and the projects we worked on together. Also, the courses helped me understand what is at the heart of software development and what I will face in my career path. During my education, we also had the opportunity to make projects together by receiving scholarships within the scope of Tübitak project. This experience taught me how to work as a team. In our graduation project, we got involved with virtual reality and virtual reality glasses were required to present the project. The University supported us; these expenses were covered by the University. I would like to express my gratitude for all of that.
Barlas Ronay
2014 - Financial Economics Master’s Program Graduate
Upon completing elementary and middle school in Switzerland, I continued my high school and university education in Izmir, and I graduated from Department of Economics (English program), Ege University in 2010. Since I was raised with two cultures, I enrolled in Izmir University of Economics in 2012, which I thought was suitable for my world view and would be able to contribute to my career plans, would benefit me not only in Turkey but also in the international arena.

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.

The Footwear Design and Manufacturing Program, which I chose willingly in 2017 and got into with a 100% scholarship, was one of the best decisions I made for my future.
