I graduated from the Occupational Health and Safety Program in 2022. When I first went to the field as a graduate of Izmir University of Economics, I was not a stranger at all. Because throughout my education, I realized that we have learned the professional side of our work and everything, thanks to our professors who also come from the field, who also work as professional managers, and that we graduated fully equipped. I am currently working as Field Occupational Health and Safety Officer at Ateş Wind Power BOSBI Construction Site, one of the largest renewable energy facilities in Turkey, and also in the team of Aydın Aktuğ, my professor from the school.
Gülşah Güler
2017 - Architecture Graduate
In 2013, 19 years since my birth in Germany, I decided to settle in Izmir, Turkey by getting an "Abitur" diploma. Attending a university in Turkey, being useful to my country and people was my biggest dream since I was little. I started to realize this dream with "Izmir University of Economics". The main reasons for me to choose Izmir University of Economics were the successful education staff as well as the medium of education being completely English.

2003 - Business Administration Master Program Graduate
I had the privilege of attending the first graduation ceremony of Izmir University of Economics when I graduated from MBA program in 2003. When I was searching for graduate programs, I came across news about the establishment of our school and decided to attend the introduction meeting and enrolled in MBA program the first semester it started. I believe that receiving training from both estimable teachers in academia and experts from different sectors provided me a different point of view on business world and management.
