But don’t be scared because here at METU you will be given all the help you need to realise your strengths, develop your skills, gain practical knowledge and such experience that will provide you with competitive advantage when you launch your career.
In a nutshell it means that the focus of education is on practical lessons and projects. During your university studies you complete real professional tasks which later can be integrated into your portfolio which can be presented at job interviews.
You are taught how to give an effective presentation, how to argue, represent yourself or your creation assertively in market situations. These skills will make you have a competitive advantage when you enter the labour market compared to the other beginners.

They made me prove my abilities within half an hour. That was when I knew that I would like to study here."
