Problems of Postgraduate Education in the Field of International Relations in Turkey

Abstract

It is not possible to think of the problems faced by postgraduate education in Turkey separately from the problems of formal education in general, especially the problems of undergraduate education. The exam-focused, rote-based education system adopted in our country has negative effects on the development of creative and critical thinking. Moreover, it is not possible to think of the problems of postgraduate education in the field of international relations separately from the problems experienced in other fields of social sciences.
