Master of Arts, European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (EURUS)
Ece was drawn to the EURUS program for its strong co-op and internship program—and she took full advantage of it.
“My first internship was with a non-governmental organization in Brussels that was working on digital diplomacy initiatives,” she says. “While I was there, I had a phone interview for a co-op position back in Ottawa. As I explained my knowledge, they offered me the position.”
That co-op was with Global Affairs Canada, in the foreign affairs division that covers Russia, Turkey, the Balkans, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. Her experience in bilateral relations there led to a contract that began before graduation—as a Desk Officer in the Eastern Europe and Eurasia Division at Global Affairs Canada.
“EURUS gave me so many experiences that I was able to figure out what I wanted to do in life,” she says. “I feel really lucky to have this opportunity.”
