" GeT MA has fully met my

expectations. During my stay in

Germany and Turkey, I have
experienced new perspectives
and, thereby, I could further
expand my understanding of
history and modernization. The
teaching aimed at promoting
independent thinking and
argumentation and the great
professors encouraged me to
broaden my worldview."
