Student Exchange

Fatima Rizk Estiti

Faculty of Graduate Studies

Nature of participation:

This participation was divided into two parts. Part One: During the semester, I enrolled in several courses covering theoretical and research aspects. Part Two: Worked and trained in a solar cell manufacturing plant and completed my master's thesis in this field.

Scientific and practical experience:

These experiences undoubtedly added significant scientific expertise and personal skills to my experience. During my experience, I was keen to combine travel and study as a representative of my colleagues and my university. Immersion in a new academic environment gave me a new study style based on deduction, analysis, practical experiments, application, and information search. I also transformed from a student receiving knowledge to an independent researcher who creates knowledge and contributes her knowledge to international journals. Scientific research taught me to be a critical thinker, a solution-seeker, open to trying what I feared, and patient with what I didn't know. It taught me to strive to enrich my thinking, develop myself, build new visions for my future, and face challenges until I achieve my goals.

Other activities:

In addition to training and completing graduate studies, I attended many scientific conferences in Turkey and met researchers and experts from around the world working in the same field. Your outlook on life will change. From the first day, you will find yourself on an unknown path. You are abroad, and you must be patient until you emerge stronger, more steadfast, and more knowledgeable. This opportunity was my window to the world, opening me to new friendships from different nationalities, ethnicities, and cultures. Not to mention the tourism and entertainment aspect, as it was my chance to visit many Turkish regions and cities and enjoy their beauty. I truly lived a unique and rich experience that will accompany me for the rest of my life.
