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.
Cansu Adaş
2013 - Mathematics Graduate
In every period of my education life, the lesson I was most interested in and the most successful was mathematics. Therefore, in 2008, it was inevitable that my preference form would consist of mathematics departments of universities. And why Izmir University of Economics? The well-equipped academic staff who have contributed greatly to science with their articles and books published in Turkey and abroad, scholarship opportunities, student life in a wonderful city like Izmir, and the medium of instruction being English, as well as the second foreign language education they provide played an important role in my choice of the Mathematics Department of Izmir University of Economics.
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.

I graduated from 'Tourism and Hotel Management' as an Honor Student and Top Student in the Department in 2006. The experience I gained in the Anemon Hotels group, where I worked while I was studying, opened the doors of The Marmara Hotel in Istanbul - Taksim as soon as I graduated. After working there for a year, I left my job to work in a chain hotel in the Alps of Switzerland.
