Ömer Kartal
2012 - International Trade and Finance Graduate
I started my undergraduate study in Tourism Management at Dokuz Eylül University in 2004. But three years have passed by the time I started to make different plans for my future. I can honestly say that taking the OSS exam again and being admitted to Izmir University of Economics has been a turning point in my life even though I have lost all that time. A real milestone…If I haven’t done that I would be engaged in a profession I really did not enjoy. Instead, I am working as a Comptroller at Ministry of Finance.
Metin Olataş
2015 - Psychology Graduate
I enrolled in the Department of Psychology with a full scholarship in 2011. In the summer semester of my 2nd year, I performed an internship abroad for 3 months at the youth center named JUVIVO9 in Vienna with the ERASMUS Internship mobility. After returning from Vienna, I started to do a double major in International Relations and European Union.
Mehmet Emin Kaya

I got enrolled in Izmir University of Economics, Department of Media and Communication in 2007 with a full scholarship. I graduated in 2012. I performed internship in institutions such as Doğuş Media Group (NTV), İhlas Media Group (TGRT), Doğan Media Group (Posta Newspaper) until I graduated.
Selen Şener
2019 - Footwear Design and Manufacturing Graduate
The Footwear Design and Manufacturing Program, which I chose willingly in 2017 and got into with a 100% scholarship, was one of the best decisions I made for my future. Thanks to the university's facilities, the workshops, fashion shows, "Students Consulting Experts" events, entrepreneurship courses and fairs helped us strengthen our bond with the industry, analyze the market and manage customer relations.
