Access to Further Studies

He/she contributes to the progress in his/her field by independently carrying out an original study that brings innovation to his/her field, develops a new idea, method, design and/or application or applies a known idea, method, design and/or application to a different field.

Internship

Our students are directed to appropriate departments on certain days of the week, first to make observations, get to know their systems, see business relations and communications, be included in the flow and processes of the work, and after a while, they are encouraged to contribute and participate, and this is aimed to turn into mutual benefit and efficiency. While students continue their education on the one hand, they also gain experience in practice, and with the on-site application experience they gain during their education, they can create their careers more consistently by knowing what they want when they graduate.

Applied Course

While their education continues on the one hand, students gain practical experience on the other hand, and with the on-site application experience they gain during their education, they can create their careers more consistently by knowing what they want when they graduate.

Work Placement

Students who are in the same business during the on-site application and summer internship are seen as candidates for employment in the first degree from the business's perspective. The reason for this is that the student gets to know the company during the on-site application period, learns its system and adapts to it by performing well. With this system, businesses have the opportunity to train the desired quality personnel in line with their own human resources policies. The student can do the on-site application and summer internship in the same place or in different businesses and sectors.

Double Major, Additional Major & Exchange Possibilities
