As one of the first graduates of Department of Accounting and Auditing, I can say that our department has a wide scale. It is possible to take part in any of finance, economics, accounting, auditing etc. fields with the knowledge the University has provided us. My career planning started by performing a voluntary internship in the Financial Affairs Directorate at Izmir University of Economics before I finished school, and then working at PwC Independent Auditing and SMMM A.Ş. company and deciding which areas I wanted to focus on. Since I wanted to specialize in finance/economics, my job preferences were in this direction. I worked as a Finance Specialist in Medical Park Hospitals group for 2 years. Currently, I am working as a Finance and Treasury Manager in Medicana Hospitals group.
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.

2018 - Political Science and International Relations Graduate
I graduated from the Department of Political Science and International Relations in 2018 and I wanted to improve myself with the advantages of this field. I started to work at Magmaweld-Oerlikon company in 2018 by taking Foreign Trade and E-commerce trainings thanks to my international relations, money / market courses. Thanks to a year and a half of foreign trade experience and the nice people I have met, the knowledge I have gained has helped me gain experience in terms of management.

Buse Aydın
2020 - Interior Architecture and Environmental Design Graduate
I started my undergraduate education at Izmir University of Economics, Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design in 2015.
The biggest advantage of Izmir University of Economics for me was that the courses were taught in English and we had a second foreign language option.
During my education, I gained different experiences and connections thanks to my valuable interior architect-architect professors, which was a great chance.
Ecem Mizmizlioğlu
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.
