While trying to decide on the field where I can use my skills in the best way after the university exam, I saw the newspaper advertisement of Izmir University of Economics, Department of Software Engineering. I was very excited by the idea of developing my interest, which started when I first saw the black and white computer screen at the age of seven, by getting the right education. Our work, which we started with Kabaq.io in New York in 2015, continues today with our team of 25 people in Izmir Bilimpark Technopark, within the Glimpse Group, which is listed as VRAR on Nasdaq.
Ezgi Çakmak Kesimli
2005 - Business Administration Graduate
I am one of the first students and one of the first graduates also. It wasn’t an easy decision; I had to take a risk. But I realized it was the best decision after I graduated. I can see it clearly now after the best quality education I received. I was able to find employment at companies I liked and put everything I learned into practice.
Utku Gürboğa
2009 - Mathematics Graduate
As of the summer of 2005, I was undecided between choosing a university in Istanbul or Izmir. I decided to choose a university in Izmir because I love the city I live in and thought that universities in Izmir could contribute a lot to my future career. When I started to research universities in Izmir, Izmir University of Economics had come to the fore both in terms of its teaching staff and its vision. In my meetings with IEU students at that time, I heard that everyone was extremely satisfied with the university.
