Büşra Kırmızıoğlu
2009 - Public Relations and Advertising Graduate
Immediately after graduating with honors in 2009, I completed my academic education in 2011, which I continued at a postgraduate degree in Istanbul. I gained professional experience for 3 years in different advertising and PR agencies in Istanbul. As a result of my application to the lecturing staff opened by YOK in the Rectorate of Pamukkale University in 2017, I was entitled to work as a Public Relations Specialist in this institution. I have been working as the Director of Press and Public Relations since 2019 at the institution where I am still working. Since the very beginning of my career, the most important fact that I learned during my education at Izmir University of Economics and which sheds light on me is the fact that as long as the information was conveyed to people with a correct communication method, that information provided a benefit beyond the meaning acknowledged by the next generation.
Nehir Tuna
2014 - Psychology Graduate
I graduated from the Department of Psychology at Izmir University of Economics (with Merit Scholarship) with a high honor degree in 2014. I completed my internship at Ege University, Faculty of Medicine, Division of Psychiatry, General Psychiatry and Mood Disorders Units. I worked as a volunteer assistant in the Brain Biophysics, Sports and Exercise Physiology Research Laboratories at Dokuz Eylul University, Faculty of Medicine, Division of Biophysics.
Volkan Koç
2005 - Business Administration Graduate
The journey I started as one of the first students of Izmir University of Economics in 2001 has been one of the most meaningful turning points of my life. After 4 full years, I became one of the first graduates of the Faculty of Business Administration in 2005. The education I received, the experiences I gained and the contributions of my esteemed professors have been the most important force that carried me to success in different sectors.
Ahmet Özgül
2016 - Occupational Health and Safety Graduate
Candaş Ener Erdener
2007 - International Trade and Finance Graduate
I started at Department of International Trade and Finance with 100% scholarship in 2003 and graduated in 2007 with High Honors. The most important thing the University helped me with was to equip me with presentation skills by improving my analytical skills. When I graduated, I prepared for inspectorship exams of the banks in the light of theoretical information I learned, and passed the first exam I took. I started my career as Assistant Inspector at Turkish Economy Bank.
