For Alumnis
Erdal Erdoğdu
2011 - Public Relations and Advertising Graduate
“How many public relations and advertising departments are there so that they take their students around the leading agencies of our country under the name of Media Trip, introduce the sector to them or host the leading names of the sector in their classes every week. These were good opportunities for us, and I believe I made good use of this opportunity for myself. Because I first met my first boss on a media trip in 2010.”

2017 - International Trade and Finance Graduate
I spent 4 months in Florida, USA with the WAT program, after completing the foreign language courses I had to complete for the Department of International Trade and Finance, which I attended very fondly and willingly in 2012. When I started my education in the department, I pursued the opportunities to study abroad and in the 3rd grade I studied at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (SWPS University) in Warsaw, Poland for a semester.
Burcu Başaran
2017 - Software Engineering Graduate
I enrolled in the Department of Software Engineering of Izmir University of Economics with a full scholarship in 2012. Even though the software engineering program was new in universities at that time, I started with enthusiasm with the encouragement of my brother and uncle. Many courses I took from engineering and other departments trained me to be a good engineer. With the second foreign language opportunity offered by the University, I had the opportunity to learn Spanish, which I always wanted to learn. Later, I started the Computer Games Certificate Program in the 3rd grade and had the opportunity to improve myself in this field. In the summer of the year I graduated, I went to Szeged, Hungary to perform an internship in the field of software testing, taking advantage of the Erasmus Program.
