Hello, I am Sümeyye ATAKUL. I am a 2nd year student of Izmir Bakırçay University Menemen Vocational School Irrigation Technology Program. Our irrigation technology program is built on the 3 + 1 education model. It teaches 3 semesters of theoretical and 1 semester of applied education.

At the same time, in the 4th semester, applied training is carried out within the scope of vocational training course in the enterprise.After graduating from the irrigation technology program, State Hydraulic Works, Agricultural Research Institutes, related departments of municipalities, as well as Provincial and District Agricultural Directorates are offered job opportunities.The reason for choosing the irrigation technology program was that I both researched the department and realized that I saw myself intertwined with nature and agriculture and wanted to continue my family's work. I chose Izmir Bakırçay University because of its central location, ease of transportation, strong academic staff and social activities. While studying the irrigation technology program, I benefit from the knowledge and experience of the academic staff, our laboratories and the activities of our communities.After graduating from the irrigation technology program, I want to continue in this profession within the scope of both my family and my own profession, or I want to advance in my field in public institutions.Before choosing the irrigation technology program, I recommend you to research, not just look at the name, the difficulties of the profession, but also the beautiful aspects. I recommend the candidates who will choose Izmir Bakırçay University to benefit from the knowledge and experience of the academic staff to the fullest and to benefit from the social and sports activities organized by our university to the fullest.
