INTERNSHIP

In some of the programs of our university, students must participate in an internship training to be able to graduate. However, in some other programs, internship, training isn’t compulsory.

Compulsory internship training can be completed in private or public institutions which are recognized by the board of directors. Board of directors may transfer their authority to the related departments. However, the internship training and applied courses which are recognized as part of the theoretical courses can be completed under the inspection and observation of the academics who were commissioned by the related faculty and vocational school.

Students may complete their internship training at various departments at the university, establishments, and institutions in the country, or abroad through Erasmus mobility programs. 





Erasmus+ Placement (Internship) Program

Erasmus+ Placements are an initiative of the European Union’s Lifelong Learning Program. A placement is a period of time that a student can spend in a company (profit/non-profit), university or academic center which are related to their area of studies at a participating European country or participating country. Placements assist students to adapt to the requirements of the labor market, to acquire specific skills and to improve their work experience.

Students are given financial support (mobility grants)         for internship activities for the duration of their stay abroad. The mobility grants do not cover all the expenses of study abroad periods. Mobility grants only aim to support students during their study abroad periods. Students can choose not to receive their mobility grants.
