turkey
Turkey is a country which lies between Europe and Asia, it is country that has few opportunities for Sciences Po students especially in NGO’s and in diplomacy. Indeed, other sectors are not necessarily open to foreign individuals in order to give a priority for the access to the job market for the locals. Indeed, Turkish Authorities make sure that the foreigner is taking a job that cannot be done by a Turkish citizen. Therefore, the objective for Sciences Po students is to target international companies and organizations such as UNHCR, AFP etc. and the Ministry of foreign Affairs.
