Stating that during the pandemic period in IKU, the postgraduate education service was provided through the corporate distance education solution CATS, IKU Graduate Education Director Prof. Dr. Tunç Mısırlıoğlu summarized the master's and doctorate education processes in the digital environment as follows: “In the past nine months, it has been observed that our students have learned how to conduct research, organize research findings and ideas, formulate their views on certain topics, form more academic sentences and put them in writing. Of course, this process can be slow and difficult; however, it can change students' habits as a form of physical and mental exercise. Eventually, skills such as mental development, creativity, critical-analytical thinking, innovativeness, communication, emotional intelligence and problem solving abilities will be developed. These skills are the elements that employers increasingly demand from graduates in the 21st century. ”
