Erasmus Process

Hello everyone my name is Egle. I came from Lithuania. I came by the Erasmus program to study in Istanbul 29 Mayis University in the Political Department. I am studying diplomacy and international relations. The reason I chose Turkey was that I like this country and I found it in the list that I can choose this university. I also have some friends here that advised me that it’s a very good university and a very good department. I really like the staff here, all of the teachers are really good. I really advise everyone to come to this university. This department in 29 Mayis university is connected with my department in a Vytautas Magnus University in Lithuania. And they are doing a similar exchange and every student can come to study here. My Erasmus department offered me to study in a few universities in Turkey but I wanted to study in Istanbul and this was the best department for me. Because here the master’s program and all of the subjects are almost equal with my subjects at my university. The department helped me a lot, they gave me a tutor. I had one Asian girl who helped me alot. My teachers helped me to find the university’s providing dormitory and all of the meals are included. The dormitory is located in a good place of Istanbul it’s on the Asian side. Everything is very close to the university, faculty and dormitories. In this department of Political Science all of the lessons are in the English language for the master’s program and the quality is very good. I advise for all students who are studying Political Science to come to Turkey and especially to this university because you can find an excellent University with an array of courses. The University is very modern. It’s new so they provide good material for studies. We have the two libraries. The Faculties also very good. When I came to Turkey my biggest concern was the language. Because I heard that here in Turkey it is very hard to find people who can speak English. So I was thinking that I will have many problems but there have been no problems. The Turks are very helpful. Now, almost everyone can speak English at the University, they can help if you have some questions, they will always answer.
