Students from Department of Economics

As a graduate of Yeditepe economics, I would like to say that it is a nice privilege to study at Yeditepe.

It is even more privileged to study economics. The biggest blessing of graduating from this department was to be able to think analytically, to see details and to analyze people well.Because economics should not be seen only as economics, economics is also a human science. Throughout our faculty life, every sentence starting with assume that was engraved in my head, thanks to those assumptions, I have always had alternative plans in my life, and in fact, no matter how much numerical and statistical data we see, I better understood how much life we learn with real life, that is, after graduation.After graduation, I worked in the fields of accounting and finance. In my SME consultancy company, which I established in 2018, I provide SME, SGK and investment incentive consultancy.

The biggest advantage of Yeditepe University Economics Department is its international education approach in many fields and its expert academic staff.

Hello, I'm Simge Tabak, I work as a Digital Manager at OMD Turkey Media Agency. I graduated from the Department of Economics with many valuable achievements such as the quality of education that enables analytical thinking rather than rote learning, the English language of education, the wide environment it provides, the importance given to research and development, the fact that all teachers always help and listen to their students, provide a vision for the future, and prepare them for business life. From the first day I started with the preparatory class in 2010 until I graduated with beautiful memories, I have always been proud to be a Yeditepe University student and felt lucky. If I were to choose a university again today, I would choose the same school and department again.

At school, I not only made long-lasting friendships but also established strong relationships with my teachers.

Hello, I am Mert Berkant ZENGİN. I graduated from Yeditepe Economics Department in 2015. Since 2014, I have been the owner of Essen Reklam, a company that sells outdoor advertising materials. Although we are a small company in terms of the number of employees, we are among the top 10 companies in our field. We bring more innovative approaches to our field and this makes us one of the most innovative companies in the sector.

The courses I took during my undergraduate studies helped me take more confident steps in company management. The support I received from my professors allowed me to carry out both school and work in parallel for the last two years. Another opportunity Yeditepe provided me was the opportunity to play basketball, which I have been playing professionally since I was 11 years old, and to meet the parquet again with the school team after my injury. Because of my success in the school team, I got the chance to study with a 50% scholarship. The vision of being a person of the world that I received from the school has enabled me to establish both social and professional relationships from different countries.

 Even years later, when I remember Yeditepe, I feel very special and beautiful emotions. It is a very precious and unforgettable memory for me.

I am Yeşim Dağdelen. In 2007, I enrolled in the Department of Economics at Yeditepe University with a full scholarship. I studied the department with great pleasure. The department I studied at Yeditepe offered me more than I imagined. My professors and the courses I took contributed greatly to my self-development and vision.

As soon as I graduated from school, I started working in the audit department at KPMG Turkey. After three years of auditing, I had the opportunity to have a different experience in the Decision Support Department at Türk Telekom and I have been continuing my business life at Türk Telekom for about 6 years.

Yeditepe University has added a lot of beauty to my life socially as well as academically. It gave me very valuable friendships that still continue. I had my dream Erasmus experience at Yeditepe and improved myself both academically and socially in a foreign country.

Thank you Yeditepe for all you have contributed to me.

Hello, I am Tuba. I graduated from Yeditepe University, Department of Economics. I chose this department primarily because I had a very indecisive structure. The fact that there were highly qualified working areas where I could work after graduation made me feel safe.

As a matter of fact, after graduating from school in 2015, I worked at Lanxess Kimya Tic. Ltd.Şti., a Germany-based manufacturer of chemical raw materials, as a Sales Support Specialist (Currently)

Since it was a foreign company, the quality of my school and the level of foreign language education I received at Yeditepe University were the first factors that influenced the job interview.

In addition, the level of education I received improved my analytical intelligence and played an important role in my professional life.

The image of Yeditepe University in professional life enabled me to reach my goal easily in my job search process. 

I am currently working as a Senior Consultant at the independent audit company PwC - PricewaterhouseCoopers. I met this company, which I am happy to be an employee of, as a result of the recommendations of my department lecturers. Thus, I started my career in a leading and global company. I am always proud to be from Yeditepe.
