Salih Sak – Republic of Turkey Ministry of Interior, District Governor/Local Authority

 

To be honest, I would have chosen the Department of Political Science and International Relations in Cankaya University if I had the possibility to make a decision for higher education once again. The primary reason of being so glad about the university and the department is, no doubt, the well-equipped academic staff, and more importantly their devotion to prepare students for their careers after graduation. I see these few lines as an opportunity to thank my instructors who have deemed my Bachelor’s education, of which I’m still reaping the benefits, enjoyable and of remarkable quality.

 

Gökçen Kan Usta – Republic of Turkey Ministry of Treasury and Finance, Revenue Administration, Revenue Specialist

I studied in my department quite willingly and loved my courses, department and lecturers very much. I think that a very good education is provided. I have developed myself very well in the department. The department contributed to me very much both in the sense of courses and life.

 

Ahmet Sakınç , Ernst & Young, Senior, Indirect Tax

Being graduated from the Department of Political Science and International Relations in Cankaya University is a privilege. I realized it better as I started to work. Perhaps political science did not benefit me technically but because it provided me with a high level of confidence, it created unbelievable difference in my social relations and perception. Everyone who have embarked on their business life one day will see how important these differences and social relations are. The main reason why I became as confident is the invaluable instructors that have educated me.

 

Arif Tümok, Translation Services, Chief Executive

I researched my department a lot before I started university. I reached many sources regarding our education system, language and qualifications of our instructors. The university has the staff and system that is incontrovertibly of good quality. I would like to thank all my professors who have contributed to my education.

 

Ecem Şener, Foreign Trade Specialist

Our department isn’t one to be studied lightly. It requires hard work and determination. If you enjoy reading books and doing research, this department is the right choice for you.
