I graduated from Izmir University of Economics Psychology program in 2022. Thanks to the advanced level of English skills that the school gave me, I started to realize my dream of doing a master's degree abroad, which has always been my dream. I have collected the poems in English and Turkish that I wrote while studying on the one hand and thanks to my improving English on the other hand, in a book called "Histerik Kahkaha (Hysterical Laughter)". Thanks to the scientific infrastructure of the school, I would like to crown this program, which I studied with pleasure, with a doctorate in the future.

2006 - Economics Graduate
Today, the understanding of "knowledge is power" has been replaced by the understanding of "using knowledge is power". In this direction, Izmir University of Economics has adopted an education approach that not only equips its students with knowledge, but also allows the acquired knowledge to be used in real life.

2015 - Interior Architecture and Environmental Design Graduate
I entered this program, which was my first choice, as a full scholarship holder. I successfully passed the preparatory exam in 2011 and started my freshman year when I was only 17. I started to work as a freelance interior designer since 2012. In the third year of my undergraduate education, I decided to spend a semester at the University of Sheffield Hallam in England with the Erasmus agreement IUE is included in. After studying a semester here, I completed the 3rd grade at IUE. That summer, I performed my internship as an interior designer at an architectural firm in Sheffield and took part in large-scale hospital projects. At the same time, by continuing my freelance works, I completed many interior architecture projects in Russia, China, America and England.
