Simin Ercan
2012 - International Relations and European Union Graduate
I stepped into Izmir University of Economics in 2002 for the first time. I dropped out of school in 2004 due to unexpected sad events. I returned to school in 2009 at the insistence of my family. During this time, I got married and became a mother. Everyone except me believed I could graduate, but I was caught between motherhood and being a student. Then I decided what I really wanted. I was very happy to be a part of Izmir University of Economics.
Caner Gündoğdu
2007 - Economics Graduate
The scholarship opportunities and the high-level academic staff, all of whom had previously worked at prestigious international universities, were influential in my decision to choose the Department of Economics at Izmir University of Economics, where I enrolled in 2002 with a full scholarship.
Tuğçe Özgürbüz
2015 - Psychology Graduate
I got into the Department of Psychology, which I had dreamed of since childhood and worked hard for it, in 2010. For me, it was important to get a quality education, both theoretical and practical, to improve myself in the best way and improve my foreign language skills. I understood better what a right decision I made in terms of vision and education quality after I graduated in 2015.
Candaş Ener Erdener
2007 - International Trade and Finance Graduate
I started at Department of International Trade and Finance with 100% scholarship in 2003 and graduated in 2007 with High Honors. The most important thing the University helped me with was to equip me with presentation skills by improving my analytical skills. When I graduated, I prepared for inspectorship exams of the banks in the light of theoretical information I learned, and passed the first exam I took. I started my career as Assistant Inspector at Turkish Economy Bank.
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.
