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.

2005 - Business Administration Graduate
I am one of the first students and one of the first graduates also. It wasn’t an easy decision; I had to take a risk. But I realized it was the best decision after I graduated. I can see it clearly now after the best quality education I received. I was able to find employment at companies I liked and put everything I learned into practice.

2011 - Media and Communication Graduate
I got into Izmir University of Economics Faculty of Communication, Department of Media and Communication with full scholarship, as my first choice in 2006. Almost everyone around me asked why I did not choose another school in Istanbul, that I would get into that school anyway. I never wanted to leave Izmir and I think the best place to get education in Izmir was Izmir University of Economics.

2017 - Software Engineering Graduate
I enrolled in the Department of Software Engineering of Izmir University of Economics with a full scholarship in 2012. Even though the software engineering program was new in universities at that time, I started with enthusiasm with the encouragement of my brother and uncle. Many courses I took from engineering and other departments trained me to be a good engineer. With the second foreign language opportunity offered by the University, I had the opportunity to learn Spanish, which I always wanted to learn. Later, I started the Computer Games Certificate Program in the 3rd grade and had the opportunity to improve myself in this field. In the summer of the year I graduated, I went to Szeged, Hungary to perform an internship in the field of software testing, taking advantage of the Erasmus Program.
