Gonca Bağlar
2013 - Psychology Graduate
I took my first step to psychology department, field I was dying to study at since middle school, in 2008 at Izmir University of Economics as my third choice. After completing a successful five-year education with full scholarship, I graduated as Honor Student in 2013. On my first day at school, I said to myself, “What am I doing here?” I’ve always though different about private schools, and never thought I would study at one until the last day.
Sena Tokgöz
2014 - Public Relations and Advertising Graduate
Life at university is nothing compared to high school or anything else. When I chose Izmir University of Economics in 2009, I asked myself if I made the right decision. 5 years were ahead of me to see if I made the right decision or not. I’ve always tried my best at Izmir University of Economics and became a successful student. I did not qualify for any scholarships when I first enrolled at school but my hard work paid off and I qualified for 50% merit scholarship. In addition to courses in Public Relations and Advertising, I’ve taken many other electives from variety of fields including Business and Software Engineering.

2006 - Business Administration Graduate
I started my academic life as one of the first students of the university in 2001. Throughout our education life, we have had valuable teachers who have a reputation in their own fields, worked in certain areas of business and taught us to open every door. Izmir University of Economics is a turning point in my life, where I assumed the presidency of the student council in 2005-2006, and in the following years, where I took part in the management of the alumni association for a few years.

I started the Banking and Insurance program in 2004. In addition to the education process, I had the honor of representing this distinguished institution that we are a member of, with the social opportunities provided by my university, the opportunity to do sports and the success we have achieved with our school team. During the education process, I had the opportunity to develop myself in terms of different competencies.
Beyza Arslan
2022 - Department of Aerospace Engineering Graduate
When I started my undergraduate education in Department of Aerospace Engineering at Izmir University of Economics, I didn't realize that I was stepping into an ecosystem that broadens one's vision and develops students both academically and personally, rather than just an engineering program.
