As a very successful junior tennis player in Serbia, I had an opportunity to take full scholarship from many international universities to continue my academic and athlete career. Most of the offers were coming from the United States of America, except one, from Izmir University of Economics. At the time I had genuine interest in Turkey and I thought I had nothing to lose if I tried something different. I am very happy about that decision. My journey at IEU started in 2014 when I enrolled in the department of Computer Engineering. With such strong infrastructure, a variety of courses, and qualified academic staff, I had all the resources I could imagine.

2009 - Economics Graduate
I started university in 2005 at Department of Economics at Izmir University of Economics as my first choice, and graduated successfully in 2009. Courses I took were matching the character of my profession since I was interested in economics at an earlier age because of our family business as jeweler. During my leisure times I worked part-time at our family business “Bülent Maro Mücevherat”. I needed to get ready for work life as a second generation representative.
