Students, who are one of the building blocks of graduate education, may encounter many problems during their education. The aim of this study is to identify the problems faced by the students who receive master's and doctorate education in the department of International Trade and Logistics during their graduate education processes and to develop solutions to eliminate these problems. The study group of the research consists of 25 ITL postgraduate students studying at various universities, determined through maximum variation sampling. The in-depth interview method was used to explore students' perceptions. The collected data were analyzed in the MAXQDA 2022 program, and descriptive and content nalysis were performed. According to the results, the participants in the postgraduate education process experienced individual, field-related, university-based, academic staff and legislation-related difficulties. The majority of the students faced difficulties in terms of time management, access to data and transition to online education. Accordingly, the participants mostly want their departments to add practical courses in the field of ITL, to establish cooperation between the university and the industry, and to enrich the course content related to logistics and research methods. This study is expected to contribute to both the literature and the education given in the ITL departments by revealing the problems that need to be adressed in ITL graduate education.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDepartment of International Trade and LogisticsPostgraduate EducationProblems in UTL Postgraduate EducationContent AnalysisArticle10.53478/yuksekogretim.1205912132157178N/AWOS:001398970800001N/A1207743
