International Student

Hello my name is Aqsa KHALID, I am coming from Pakistan, I came here to Baskent university in 2014. Firstly I had to finish my Turkish language course and then started my department. Now I am in my third semester of my master’s degree in social work, I came to Turkey cause I got the Turkish government scholarship, when you apply to the Turkish scholarship, they show you a list of universities that have the course that you want to apply for. I saw that Baskent university is offering master of social work and that is something related to my interest because my undergraduate study was in psychology in Pakistan. So the clinical social work was the best course that I could apply for and that’s why I selected Baskent University. Luckily, they accepted me into that program. I thought it would be hard to learn Turkish and communicate in it and study in it, now I can say it was just hard in the start after it things got much easier. I am really happy that I choose Baskent university, the teachers and the staff they are very helpful and facilitating, I have got a lot of help from my teachers throughout my past three semesters, having the freedom to choose my courses, getting advice about what to choose and what not to. The teachers give us full attention because we are few in number, so we get the knowledge that we seek and that we need. Regarding education, I feel more free here than in Pakistan. I got the chance to do Erasmus in Germany and I gained much more confidence than I had before. I can say that I am really satisfied with the university administration. I feel that I got much better with the guidance of my teachers, and the support they gave me. The international department in Baskent university has helped us in every step from the start till now, if I have any question or a problem I can just go to them knowing for sure that I will get the help. Whenever I go to them they welcome us with a smiling face and willing to help. I recommend other international students to join Baskent university and get the chance to have the high quality education we are getting here.
