Sami Eyidilli
2017 - Distance Learning MBA without Thesis Graduate
I started MBA in the first year that Izmir University of Economics implemented distance education master's programs. Therefore, I am one of the first e-MBA students of our university to graduate. These investments made years ago in distance education give us a better understanding of its importance in the pandemic period we are in today. When I started my MBA, I was actively involved in business life and was living in Istanbul.
Cemre Aliye Ülgen

Hatice Çamlı
2017 - Interior Architecture and Environmental Design Graduate
Choosing a university and department is a difficult process for every student. I had only one dream in high school, which was being an Interior Architect. I decided to make this dream come true at Izmir University of Economics.. I graduated from IUE Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design in 2017 as a high honor student. I had the opportunity to study by winning a merit scholarship during my undergraduate education. I gained a lot of experience thanks to my university and department.
Elif Emdi
2017 - Child Development Graduate
After completing the child development and education department in high school in 2015, I learned that Izmir University of Economics offered child development program that year and I qualified to enroll in child development program with a full scholarship. In 2017, I graduated from my school as a high honor student, and top student in the program.
Aslı Nur Timur Yordanov
2015 - Architecture Graduate
I received my bachelor’s with a major in Architecture and a minor in Interior Architecture and Environmental Design from the Izmir University of Economics (IUE) in 2015. The most important factors that led me to select IUE was the distinguished professors, the courses being taught in English, and the opportunity to choose Italian as my 2nd foreign language during my degree. Thanks to my minor degree, I was selected to do an internship in Japan where I gained valuable experience and connections with professionals from different cultures and backgrounds. After graduating, I worked in the design, tender and construction phases of the retail and housing projects in FMB Architecture, Construction, and Project Management.
