Year 2007 summer and the last days of the university preference period. Frankly, I remember that I came to Izmir with the suggestions of my two older sisters who were very successful in their careers and school life and who lived in Izmir during the years when I approached private school with a very biased way. They were the first to recommend Izmir University of Economics to me. When I came to the university for the first time, we encountered its orange emblem and brick walls.

2005 - Business Administration Graduate
The knowledge and experience I gained at Izmir University of Economics, where I met in 2001 as "one of the first students", continues to guide me correctly in every step I take towards professional development. In 2005, I completed the Business Administration, International Relations and European Union departments of our University concurrently and graduated as one of the first Double Major Program graduates.

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.

I graduated from the Occupational Health and Safety Program in 2022. When I first went to the field as a graduate of Izmir University of Economics, I was not a stranger at all.
Gülşah Güler
2017 - Architecture Graduate
In 2013, 19 years since my birth in Germany, I decided to settle in Izmir, Turkey by getting an "Abitur" diploma. Attending a university in Turkey, being useful to my country and people was my biggest dream since I was little. I started to realize this dream with "Izmir University of Economics". The main reasons for me to choose Izmir University of Economics were the successful education staff as well as the medium of education being completely English.
