Hi there! My name is Burak Melek, and I am proud to serve as one of the Academica Dual Diploma Program Directors in Turkey. With a background in English Language and International Education, I’ve been involved in the field for several years now, and I consider it a privilege to help students gain access to global academic opportunities.
Since we introduced the Dual Diploma Program in our country, I’ve witnessed firsthand how transformative it can be for students. This program not only strengthens their English language skills but also broadens their academic horizons, encouraging independent thinking and the ability to manage their own learning journey. Students quickly become more confident, more self-disciplined, and more prepared for the demands of university life; whether at home or abroad. Being part of the Dual Diploma Program is incredibly fulfilling. It gives students the opportunity to get the best quality of education without having to leave their hometowns and families. This opens doors to top universities and global careers for them.
The Dual Diploma Program is also making an impact on schools across Turkey. It demonstrates a strong commitment to bilingual and bicultural education and gives families a clear path to international academic success. For me personally, being part of this program has enriched my own professional development. It allows me to connect with educators and directors from all over the world and stay at the forefront of educational innovation.
I believe that education should be a bridge — one that connects students to new cultures, new opportunities, and ultimately, a future without limits. The Dual Diploma Program is a powerful step in that direction, and I’m honored to help guide students on that journey.”
