Murat Kurum was born on May 7, 1976, in Çankaya, Ankara, to Mehmet Kurum of Karapınar, Konya and Satı Kurum of Belpınar, Kızılcahamam, Ankara.[1] His father, Mehmet, was a civil servant at the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, the predecessor to the ministry where Murat would later be appointed to as the minister. His mother, Satı, was a housewife.[2]
Murat Kurum briefly attended Atatürk Primary School in Mardin before moving back to Ankara to finish his primary education at Seyranbağları Primary School. He was then educated at Kocatepe Mimar Kemal High School in Ankara. Kurum later entered the Turkish university entrance exam where he gained admission to a food engineering program. However, he retook the exam the following year to study construction engineering.[3]
Between 1999 and 2005, he worked as an engineer, site manager and coordinator in various private organizations operating in the field of construction.
