For me, the academic side is what matters the most. For this side I would say that the whole program and also professors that we have in this program help us in every way possible to equip us with materials as well as the blue print to be the best version of ourselves.

As a student coming from Turkey, I was afraid that I would not be able to catch up with the workings of German higher education. Upon seeing the various topics the programme offer, I was astonished by how many different subjects I could focus on from Medieval Studies to North American Studies. Having the freedom to choose between a variety of courses enhanced my enthusiasm to study. Since I am planning to pursue an academic career, the approach of my professors was highly important for me, and one of the reasons why I am content with this programme is the friendly and encouraging behaviour I encounter each time I talk to the professors. The module system that is organized in a way that enables the students to proceed from the beginner’s level to an advanced one is highly effective in creating a classroom environment where everyone feels competent and encouraged. That’s why I definitely recommend this programme to my colleagues who are in search of a friendly environment where they can improve themselves and have fun thanks to the well-designed seminars and lectures offered by the University of Göttingen.
