When I started my education at Department of International Trade and Finance, which was my first choice, in 2005 I understood a new life was ahead of me. After spending a year abroad, I thought everything would be different, and everything turned out the way I wanted.
Baran Ölekli
2012 - Public Relations and Advertising Graduate
When I entered Izmir University of Economics in 2007, where the medium of instruction is English, my English level was not at the beginner level. Thanks to the English Preparatory Program at Izmir University of Economics School of Foreign Languages, I successfully completed the English preparatory class in 1 year. In 2011, we visited leading advertising agencies and Corporate Communications units of corporate companies in Istanbul, which is the center of the media, communication and advertising sectors, within the scope of the industry trip in the 3rd grade. I had the opportunity to meet professionals in Istanbul and sent my resume for internship application.

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.

Hazar Çetin
2010 - Visual Communication Design Graduate
Observing that the sector does not provide me with the personal development and conditions I want in Istanbul after I graduated, I decided to progress in a different sector that produces digital displays – project designing and content production. I had the opportunity to work closely with media purchasing and internal communication departments of different corporate companies in the Digital Signage sector, which allows me to improve myself on display technologies.
