Graduation Year - 2001

 

In my opinion, university is not only about being in the classroom, but also about ‘learning by living’, especially when it comes to postgraduate study for a student from abroad. A key element is breathing the international atmosphere, working with people from different cultures, and learning how to cope with challenges on your own.

 

These ideas drove me to Westminster’s corridors, along with its central location in the capital of the UK and at the financial heart of Europe, its welcoming atmosphere for international students, and its high-quality education well-recognised worldwide.

 

What Westminster offered did not disappoint me in any of these initial desires, but rather they allowed me to further pursue my objectives in my personal and professional life: I am now working at the European Commission Delegation in Turkey, a job that all the graduates of international relations would dream of. It not only gives the pleasure of assisting one’s own country in its historical journey, but also provides personal and financial satisfaction to live a happy life.

 

Certainly, what I gained during my time at Westminster in terms of knowledge, training, experience and self-confidence contributed a lot to my later achievements, not to mention the good time that I had during my stay in London."
