I started my undergraduate education at Izmir University of Economics, Department of Business Administration in 2005. I took my first step into the profession of Independent Accountant and Financial Advisor, which was my career goal in high school. The education I received at my university has made a great contribution to my life both academically and socially. Especially thanks to the foreign language education I received during my university years, I started to work as an Accounting Officer in the German based Netzsch company in 2013. I got my Public Accountant license in 2014. Currently I continue my professional life as the Chief Financial Officer at Netzsch Makine San. ve Tic. Ltd. Şti.

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.

After graduating from the Department of Sociology of Izmir University of Economics as "High Honor Student" in 2016, I got a full scholarship from the Federal Republic of Germany.

2016 - Psychology Graduate
I graduated from Izmir University of Economics, Department of Psychology in 2016 as an honor student. I have to admit that when I was going to university for the first time, it made me very anxious to study at my dream program in English. But when I look back right now, I say "I am glad I did it". I owe my academic and social skills to my esteemed professors primarily and to Izmir University of Economics, which allowed them to touch my life.
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.
