[u_testimonial scroll=”1″ css_animation=”left-to-right”][u_testimonial_item name=”Nergis Zaim, PhD in Economics Graduate ‘15″ title=”Consultant/Economist at Vega Economics” avatar=”7450″]“I am extremely proud to be the first Ph.D. graduate from the Economics Graduate Program at Koc University. I am currently working as an Economist/Consultant at Vega Economics, a San Francisco Bay Area based consulting firm. I attribute much of the success in my career to the education and the tools that I gained throughout my graduate program. With the support of my professors, I presented my papers at international events in Europe and USA several times. I also had the privilege to be nominated by my professors to join the Nobel Laureate Meetings in Lindau where I had the opportunity to meet and interact with Nobel Laureates in the field of Economics. This mentorship and interaction allowed me to transfer my skills and economic knowledge internationally. As part of my research, I also played an active role in managing the “Kucuk Turuncu Damla” project that was financed and managed jointly with ING Bank. Through this project, I had been given the opportunity to conduct field experiments in public schools of Istanbul. This project allowed me to apply the academic concepts and strengthen the project management skills that have been crucial to my success in my current job. Furthermore, in addition to the continuous mentoring of my advisors and the professors, the administrative team of GSSSH also actively guided me in my job market placement. I am grateful for an outstanding academic education that taught me the skills that I continue to build on every day.”[/u_testimonial_item][u_testimonial_item name=”Kerem Yıldırım, PhD in Political Science and International Relations Graduate ’17″ title=”Assitant Proffessor at Sabancı University ” avatar=”7449″]“The Ph.D. program at Koç University was a very important step for me in academic terms.
