After completing my Bachelor’s degree in History, with a minor in Comparative Cultural and Religious Studies at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU), Munich, I started my second degree at the Institute for Near and Middle East Studies. In focusing on Turkish Studies, I am learning not only the Turkish and Persian languages, but I am also learning about the related cultures and especially the history from the 19th century onwards in these regions.
