After I graduated from the Department of Psychology, Izmir University of Economics, which is dear to me, I was accepted to Dokuz Eylül University Clinical Neuroscience Master's program due to my interest in brain and its working principles. My acceptance process of course was not easy like every other success story, as someone who graduated from the Turkish-Mathematics department in a bad high school education, it was beyond my dream to enter a department that accepted students with quantitative score type.
Egemen Akın
2009 - Industrial Systems Engineering Graduate
I started my education at Izmir University of Economics in 2005 as one of the first students at Department of Industrial Systems Engineering (now Department of Industrial Engineering). Of course I had doubts about choosing a new department of a relatively young university, but, when I was convinced that the University offered a high quality education system and teaching staff based on the needs of the region and the country, my worries were replaced by a different excitement. In addition to being raised by internationally recognized academics during my 4 year undergraduate education, it was also rewarding to see our department maturing and improving along with us and being a part of it has always been a point where I felt the advantage.

2013 - Fashion Design Graduate
After a long research, in 2008, Izmir University of Economics became my only choice, considering the opportunities it provided such as "double major, diploma with international validity, medium of instruction being English and compulsory second foreign language education". I have successfully graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design, Department of Fashion Design as an honour student, and from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Department of Psychology in 2013 with full scholarship.
