March to the Top
With the announcement of the 2024 YKS placement results, the anxious wait for millions of young people has come to an end. Izmir University of Economics repeated its success this year as well, making its mark as one of the universities most favored by young people. Standing out with its technological infrastructure, strong academic staff, and international connections, IUE has met the expectations of young people and demonstrated its distinctiveness.
RIGHTFUL PRIDE
Rector Prof. Dr. Yusuf Hakan Abacıoğlu emphasized that hundreds of young people from all over Turkey, not just Izmir or the Aegean Reagion, chose IUE. Stating that as in recent years, they achieved nearly a 100% preference rate this year as well, Prof. Dr. Abacıoğlu said, “When we look at foundation universities across Turkey, we see that the preference rates are 96.39% in associate degree programs and 83.88% in undergraduate programs. The general occupancy rate is 89.35%. As a university, we are far above the general average. Of course, we are experiencing the rightful pride and happiness of this. We are working towards specific strategic goals, developing our physical conditions, academic staff, and all the opportunities we provide to the students. What matters is that our efforts are noticed and embraced by young people. The results show that we are successful in this. We will continue our march to the top with determination, with the goal of becoming one of the best universities in Europe as well as in Turkey.”
THE YOUTH IS OUR MOST VALUABLE LEGACY
Prof. Dr. Abacıoğlu continued as follows: “The youth is the most valuable legacy we will leave to the future. Therefore, we care deeply about young people and know that it is our fundamental duty to train them in the best way possible. We have become stronger with the new students who have joined us, and we have expanded our family. We say ‘Welcome to the Izmir University of Economics Community’ to our students and congratulate them all from the bottom of our hearts. We also congratulate their families. I have great confidence in young people, and I believe in them. They should trust us too. Together, we will achieve great successes.”
