A postgraduate journey from Türkiye to the United Kingdom
My higher education journey started in Türkiye at Eskişehir Technical University (ESTU) and now continues in the United Kingdom at the University of Birmingham (UoB). As a former and current student of these two universities, I used my experiences to compare what it is like studying and doing academic research in these two countries.
UoB was established more than one hundred years ago, in May 1900. In contrast, ESTU is a very recent institute. It used to be a part of Anadolu University before some faculties were separated from the main university and established as ESTU in May 2018.
