Yelbuz reported that she applied for masters with her study she conducted under the guidance of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Seda Dural, Head of IUE Department of Psychology. “After I applied, I was called for an interview where I talked about my previous experiences on psychological researches. They also questioned me about the field of my master’s study and my motivation about conducting an independent research. The program only accepts 13 people worldwide. I am extremely happy to realize my dream to study at Oxford,” said Yelbuz.

I had a chance to study with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Seda Dural on many projects. I will be studying on compassion at Oxford University. I hope to study what positive people do differently, compared to negative and unhappy people, to stay happy and positive, and the kinds of changes their brains go through.”
