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.
Bensu Sezgin Burcu
2012 - Industrial Engineering Graduate
I got into Department of Industrial Engineering with full scholarship in 2007 and graduated in 2012. Having the opportunity to take a course at the Vaasan Yliopista - University of Vaasa in Finland with Erasmus for a semester has contributed a lot to both my personal development and my resume. The medium of instruction being English at the University and being offered an education quality at international standards helped me adapt to the Erasmus process in a short time.
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.

The four years I spent at Izmir University of Economics have been one of the turning points in my career. In 2017, I graduated from the Department of English Translation and Interpreting and taught academic English for a few years to improve my language skills. Afterwards, I worked for a China-based company for a different experience and developed my international business skills.
