After graduating from Dokuz Eylul University Computer Programming department in 2014, I started the Department of Software Engineering at Izmir University of Economics with DGS transfer exam. With the preparatory education I received in the first year, I completed the program in 5 years. Prior to the last semester, I had an internship experience as a software developer in a software company at IYTE TeknoPark. Two months after my graduation, I started working as a PEGA Decisioning Architect at Bentego and as an Outsource consultant at Vodafone. In my professional life I have not put my personal development on the back burner; I increased my competencies and certificates. I have completed my 2nd year as of this month.

I started Justice Program of Vocational School affiliated to the Faculty of Law in Izmir University of Economics in 2015. My reason to prefer Izmir University of Economics was the fact that it was recommended by many people and being of one of the best ranking universities in Izmir and even in Turkey. The opportunities, seminars, education it provided for me enabled me to find a suitable career opportunity in the short term.

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?
Elene Murvanidze
2015 - Economics Graduate
Since my early teenage years, I have had a keen interest in understanding poverty and world development. I’d always wanted to study an interdisciplinary subject, which provided real-world learning, and I think, I could not have made a better choice than to study economics. Based on an outstanding high school transcript and great results in the university entrance examinations, many universities accepted me to their undergraduate programs. I decided to accept a full scholarship offer from the Izmir University of Economics.

2008 - Business Administration Graduate
I crossed paths with Izmir University of Economics on an autumn day in 2004. It was the place where I had the best four years of my life; and established fine friendships in addition to achieving academic competencies. I graduated from Department of Business Administration in 2008 and was accepted to a master’s program at University of Hertfordshire, London the same year with references from my instructors in order to further my education and have experience.
Ömer Kartal
2012 - International Trade and Finance Graduate
I started my undergraduate study in Tourism Management at Dokuz Eylül University in 2004. But three years have passed by the time I started to make different plans for my future. I can honestly say that taking the OSS exam again and being admitted to Izmir University of Economics has been a turning point in my life even though I have lost all that time. A real milestone…If I haven’t done that I would be engaged in a profession I really did not enjoy. Instead, I am working as a Comptroller at Ministry of Finance.
