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.

2008 - Business Administration Graduate
I crossed paths with Izmir University of Economics on an autumn day in 2004. It was the place where I had the best four years of my life; and established fine friendships in addition to achieving academic competencies. I graduated from Department of Business Administration in 2008 and was accepted to a master’s program at University of Hertfordshire, London the same year with references from my instructors in order to further my education and have experience.

Ezgi Çakmak Kesimli
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.
