Hello Ayşe Nur, you have successfully graduated from the Department of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts, how was the education process for you?
My 4 years of education at Istanbul Gelişim University went very well. I think I ended up adding a lot of things to myself. There were some problems in every school, of course, in our school. But I have also gained experience that we should try to beautify it by using the opportunities we have in the best way possible.
How did you shape your career after graduation?
After graduating, I attended courses related to the pastry field. Then I signed up for the course to get language training, I am continuing. Currently, I continue my foreign language-oriented studies.
What are the goals that you want to achieve in the future? Can you tell us about these?
My priority is to complete my language education, then complete my second university education, which I started to study from open education. I also have a dream abroad. I want to go to France and experience how the pastry industry is progressing there and train myself in this field. I want to open a patisserie of my own after I have enough equipment.
What advice would you give to students studying at the Department of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts?
First of all, I would like to state that they should be open to learning and not be afraid of making mistakes. Because the kitchen is a place that gets better by experimenting and where different things should be allowed to emerge. I advise them not to stay only at school while studying, but to experience what they know practically by working in the sector. Of course, solving the language issue before graduating will create added value for them when they start their business life.
What were the pros and cons of studying this department at Istanbul and Istanbul Gelişim University?
There are many advantages of studying in Istanbul. It is a city that develops people both in terms of work and social content. They will feel very lucky to have the opportunity to participate in conferences, talks, and programs in various fields. I was also satisfied with the facilities of my school. I am also very lucky to receive education from quality teachers. Our teachers have always made us love the department more. This is one of the factors that makes me very happy. Thank you all so much...
