Bensu Sezgin Burcu
2012 - Industrial Engineering Graduate
I got into Department of Industrial Engineering with full scholarship in 2007 and graduated in 2012. Having the opportunity to take a course at the Vaasan Yliopista - University of Vaasa in Finland with Erasmus for a semester has contributed a lot to both my personal development and my resume. The medium of instruction being English at the University and being offered an education quality at international standards helped me adapt to the Erasmus process in a short time.
Canan Can Çelik
2008 - English Translation and Interpreting Graduate
I am a graduate of Department of English Translation and Interpretation (2008). During my student years I was a member of the theater club. The versatile skills that I gained with the contributions of our university and valuable professors offered me the opportunity to gain different experiences in my career. After working as a lecturer at Ege University School of Foreign Languages, I decided to become a civil servant and entered the Ministry of the Interior, General Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs in 2012 as a Translator-Interpreter.
Fulya Akgül Durakçay
2009 - International Relations and European Union Graduate
The undergraduate education I started to study at Izmir University of Economics in 2004 has created a solid foundation for me to start my academic career. Thanks to the presentations and assignments we prepared in classes, as well as the encouragement of active participation by all our professors in the Department of International Relations and the European Union, which I studied very fondly, the fact that analytical thinking and questioning became an indispensable part of our learning was reflected in all areas of my life.
Buse Gökmen
2021 - İşletme Graduate
I started studying Business Administration with a full scholarship in 2016. The reason why I chose this university was because I believed that it would offer me many opportunities. It did as I expected. First of all, I received a high quality English education. I was given the opportunity to learn a second foreign language in addition to English and I started learning Russian. Since there was an opportunity to do a double major, I started to study Law along with Business Administration.
Dilara Barut
2011 - Translation and Interpretation (English) Graduate
Izmir University of Economics was my dream university. Because in 2007 it was one of the rare universities that had translation booths. That's why it was my first choice. I didn't regret my decision at all when I came to the University. You can be sure that it is a university that breaks the perception of most of the people around as "Private university, you pay, and you graduate."
