Political Science and International Relations Department.

Hello Friends. My name is Rana Ayhun. I am a 3rd year student in the Faculty of Political Science and International Relations Department of Economics and Administrative Sciences. Our department was established to train qualified academics, politicians and experts in the field. Political Science In In general we have courses related to political science and international relations.. For example, Introduction to Political Science, Introduction to International Relations, as well as areas outside like Introduction to Economics and Introduction to Sociology. Another example is that this year we are taking the World Political History. Then we have a political philosophy course. Of course, we take them in addition to English. The department is doing a hundred percent English language training. In addition, in the third school year we are offered an opportunity to select an area, for example, Eurasia, the Middle East, the Balkans or Europe and we will also have to take a second foreign language. So when we graduate we will be specialists in the areas we chose as well as have two foreign languages. There is no compulsory internship. But we have an obligatory thesis to complete. But when it comes to writing our thesis, I don't think you will have any problem finding sources. Because, you can benefit from Isham library. When you graduate from the Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we can work at the Interior Ministry or any ministry. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has an open exam. Apart from that you can work in private companies or banks or we can if we want to continue our academics. I met Professor Michelangelo Guida in our department when we came to visit the university. He gave me some information about the department and it impressed me, so I decided to study political science. Actually, my mother had a saying, '' the closest university which is closest to home, is the best the university “. So I visited all of the schools nearby and I decided to chose this place. I really liked all of the teachers here. Because of our small class sizes we have available us one to one time with the teachers where we can talk to them and they are able to take care of any problems. Afterwards, in order to develop ourselves, we write papers and read articles. We can use the resources at the İSHAM library. Our school has alot of foreign students, so we can develop ourselves in the field of foreign language because we can make friends from many different nationalities here. I first developed my english in this university. I can say that because my English was zero when starting the university. Now I can speak freely I can also read and write comfortably. I do not have a problem. Now I started taking Arabic education. I want to improve it. I am thinking about an academic career after graduation. After undergraduate studies, I plan to go abroad for my masters. I recommend that you come to our University to see it. Breathe in the atmosphere of this place, meet our teachers and I hope you will love it as much as I do.
