Ozlem Tan – Psychology (bachelor)
”I had the opportunity to take courses from departments such as architecture, sociology and international relations. I gained very different perspectives on myself, both with the variety of courses and the colorful life on campus… In my second year at BİLGİ, I applied for the Erasmus+ program and had the opportunity to go to Germany for the next year and study there. For me, this is the best part of BİLGİ, the opportunities never end.”
Zeynep Koçoğlu – Marketing (bachelor)
”…I started to improve myself and think about what I could do after graduation, which is when the TALENT Office came into play. I felt like they were with me in every aspect, from preparing my CV to interview preparation, and with this self-confidence, I found my internship at the end of my first year and started working… In short, BİLGİ does everything to make us ready for the future life by giving us responsibilities and tasks before we graduate.
