The MIR program really set the stage for my career move. The blend of practical, real-world scenarios in the curriculum, coupled with the opportunity to learn alongside a highly diverse student body, was invaluable. The faculty, as well, served as mentors, guiding me through the nuances of diplomacy. This combination enriched my knowledge and skill set, paving the way for me to take on a leadership position in the culturally diverse and complex environment of an international education NGO.

Being part of the MIR programme has been a life-changing experience for me. I never thought there would come a time in life that could challenge my beliefs, perspectives and worldview. It wasn't just the studying part but the teachers and the lifelong friendships that I made in my journey at Bogazici University.

MIR program immensely helped me in my career to analyze Europea and Middle Eastern markets through historical, political, and economic perspectives. 

I benefited from MIR in various ways, but if I were to highlight one aspect, I would say it intellectually challenged the way I thought about the world's dynamics and led me to question well-established dogmas. 

I believe MIR program provided the correct framework to enable me to move productively and effectively on principle elements of foreign policy. I also believe it helped to improve my knowledge of the complex disciplines required for a full understanding of politics, the global world and foreign affairs in professional environments worldwide.
