Student Experiences

The new world order requires us leaders to have new skills that are out of the ordinary. Contrary to the patterns known in the past, organizational structures and the way of managing work and employees are now very different. The new world with its many variables and unpredictability tells us leaders to develop our digital knowledge and skills as well as our agility, resilience, adaptability and strategic thinking in order to manage successful organizations. İstanbul Bilgi University MBA program, which I completed in 2021, has a carefully designed educational content for the development of new talents and skills. It is very valuable that this content can be adapted to the current needs of the business world, as well as being taught by an expert academic staff with industry experience. I thank you for this successful education program.

I think that bilgiMBA program is a very important program that enables all employees, especially those who have a managerial vision in their career, to position themselves more accurately in business management and projects, and contribute to moving towards their goal more accurately together with their teammates. The fact that I have attended different courses in many areas that I want to improve has contributed a lot to me in my career. In my professional life, I use many approaches that I know or use without realizing it. I learned these approaches from different perspectives in the program by using them myself and I found that this has been very beneficial for both myself and my team. With the social network I established with my professors working in different sectors and my friends participating in the program, I saw that I could work in different fields and had the opportunity to take part in good projects. Thanks to bilgiMBA program, I brought very valuable colleagues to my team and encouraged them to participate in the program. In addition, I was very pleased to participate as a speaker in some courses after I completed the program and share my experiences with other friends. In all the interviews I made, especially after receiving my diploma, I saw that bilgiMBA program is a program that creates value and difference in business life.

Melike Köksal , Alumnus of 2019-2020 Academic Year

I am a graduate of İstanbul Technical University’s Department of Mathematics Engineering. I graduated from İTU by acquiring a real engineering perspective. After I worked in the field of IT for a few years, I wanted to gain experience in business management. For this reason, I became a part of bilgiMBA Program. In this way, I realized that very different concepts other than engineering were quite important in organizations. This awareness provided me with a very different point of view and my MBA experience helped me quite a lot in the professional life. While I used to look at things from a purely technical aspect prior to MBA, I have begun to see the different dimensions after MBA.
