COUNTRY OF ORIGIN Turkey
I majored in chemical engineering and I was always determined to work in biological sciences from an engineering point of view. I therefore wanted to be involved in a research field where I could work as an engineer while focusing on the life sciences. My aim is to contribute to the life sciences by studying cell biology and material science using a systematical approach. Biomedical engineering gives me the chance to work in this interdisciplinary way. In one year, I have learned a tremendous amount. Now I can see problems and processes from two different perspectives. I first heard of the University of Twente at an International Study Fair while I was a Bachelor’s student in Ankara. I was told about the opportunity to apply for an internship at the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology in the field of chemical engineering. I finished my internship in the summer of 2010 and it was a very happy three months for me. I had to return to Ankara to finish my Bachelor’s, but I decided to come back to Twente for my Master’s.

I would recommend the University of Twente to anyone. In terms of research and education, you have access to a great many resources and you can focus on your interests freely and extensively. Accessibility is a very important merit of the research environment. It’s easy to communicate with the professors and researchers, to share your ideas and to develop new skills. From a non-academic perspective, the university campus and the city of Enschede offer you the chance to enrich your social and personal life.
