I started in 2002 and graduated in 2007. I had tremendous knowledge and experience in addition to long lasting friendships. I learned the best from the best teachers and being still in touch with them today makes my university step forward in my work life. I started my professional life in 2010 at DİMES, a leading fruit juice and Milk Company in Turkey, as Distribution Manager and Chain Stores Manager. In 2013, I transferred to TÜRK HENKEL Kimya San. Ve Tic. AŞ, a leading name in fast moving consumer goods, Key Account Manager. I consistently feel the quality of education I received in both my personal and work life.

2009 - International Trade and Finance Graduate
My university life, which started at Izmir University of Economics in 2004, ended with my graduation in 2009. After completing my military service, I gained 1 year of commercial experience in the family business retail sector. To put into practice what university education has given me, I started to work as an import and export manager for 3 years in a company called Dirmak Makina in Izmir. At the end of 2013, I decided to move to Sweden to start a family. After 1 year of intensive Swedish language training, at the beginning of 2015, I started to work as an import export manager at Sydsvensk Form Reklam AB company, of which I am a 50% partner today.

Gülbalca Çakıroğlu
2012 - Psychology Graduate
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.
İlayda Ürel
2014 - Visual Communication Design Graduate
Choosing a university and department creates a great responsibility for every student. Although I had ideas in mind before taking the university exam, I took the time to get to know the universities and departments. I was able to get into many of the public universities and programs that I had in mind, and I never planned to study at a private / foundation university. However, as I researched further, I decided that I should examine universities not only by name, department, city but also in terms of the opportunities they offer, and that my choice would only be correct in this way. And thanks to this mind frame, I met Izmir University of Economics. During the open house, the student mentors were giving a tour around campus for prospective students who came to see and learn about Izmir University of Economics.

In the following period, I became the interior team leader and had the opportunity to work on dashboard, center console, interior color and pattern. Later, I took over the project management of an SUV concept vehicle called J9 and we had the opportunity to introduce this concept at launching. I am currently working as an industrial design team leader.
