After spending her whole life in Turkey, Derin Kurultak decided it was time for a change. So she packed her bags and headed to IE University to pursue the Dual Degree in Business Administration and Data & Business Analytics.
Leaving her home city for the tight-knit Segovia community has been an overwhelmingly positive experience for Derin—but that wasn’t her only reason for coming here. The dual degree option meant that she could gain more knowledge and practical experience, graduating as a more well-rounded candidate for job opportunities.
Derin finds that the different and complementary aspects of her dual degree are stimulating, with tasks that appeal to both her desire for creativity as well as her more logical side. What’s more, the diverse student body means that everyday interactions can become opportunities to learn and exchange ideas.
Alongside her studies, Derin is eager to strengthen access to professional opportunities for women. To this end, she is a coordinator for the IE Women in Business Club and president of the IE Girl Up Club. When she needs an escape, Derin turns to playing the piano. Curious to hear more about Derin’s experience? Listen to the podcast now!
