"Nazli is the best feature I've experienced on the course. She gave very detailed and professional advice on my major project. Meanwhile, I gained so many benefits from all the literature she recommended which gave me new insights on the subject I was working on. The key takeaway I most benefitted from was the research methods I learned from her and even shared this knowledge with my peers.
The rigorous detailed requirement would assist me in so many ways for my future career. Even advice on my future career in fashion and luxury truly inspires me.
Personally, I would think of her as knowledgeable and helpful being my major project tutor while being funny and open-minded as a person.”
MA Fashion Management student (2020/21)
“Since Nazlı's arrival at the university she has delivered a fresh style of motivational teaching, allowing students to feel excited to attend lectures and tutorials rather than feeling overwhelmed and at times, deflated. Her academic background has provided us with extensive knowledge and has taught us different, credible approaches to take when producing pieces of work.”
BA (Hons) Fashion Business and Promotion Level 6 student (2019/20)
“During my final year I was very upset and felt like I was not capable to continue my project, regular breakdowns and tears in class. However, Nazlı was very attentive and supported me right to the end. Without her in my independent final project I would not have excelled and got a high first! This will impact my future career and CV.”
BA (Hons) Fashion Business and Promotion Level 6 student (2019/20)
“Nazlı has always been so patient and kind to us – foreign students. Some teachers don't take us seriously because of the language problem. But Nazlı tries her best to help us in class, such as listening to us patiently and trying to understand us and helping us participate in the class. In the tutorials, she really helps us with our studies and gives us useful advice. When a teacher really makes efforts to help her students, her students will work harder and live up to her efforts. Nazlı is such a good teacher who made me work harder on my modules and let me realize studying abroad is not so difficult if you have a good teacher.”
