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.

2012 - Public Relations and Advertising Graduate
When I entered Izmir University of Economics in 2007, where the medium of instruction is English, my English level was not at the beginner level. Thanks to the English Preparatory Program at Izmir University of Economics School of Foreign Languages, I successfully completed the English preparatory class in 1 year. In 2011, we visited leading advertising agencies and Corporate Communications units of corporate companies in Istanbul, which is the center of the media, communication and advertising sectors, within the scope of the industry trip in the 3rd grade. I had the opportunity to meet professionals in Istanbul and sent my resume for internship application.
