Description of Internship

Internship studies at Yeditepe University Civil Engineering Department consists of two stages: Construction Site Internship (CE 300) to be done at the end of the Sophomore Year and Office Internship (CE 400) to be done at the end of the Junior Year.

Internship Times and Possible Times

The minimum period of internship for both internships is 20 working days. The specified 20 working days must be spent in the same institution / company without interruption. If Saturday is counted as a workday, each week is counted as 6 working days. Sunday is not considered as workday. Public holidays and other special days are not counted for internship days.

Internships can only be done during the summer holidays. Internship cannot be done at the Fall Break since a contiuous 20 workdays cannot be completed during this time. Students who take courses at the summer school may start their internship within the summer school final dates, provided that they can obtain permission to ‘take the final exam’ from the internship institution and may continue the internship after the summer school. Students can do internship on condition that they can fit 20 working days before the start of the fall semester and do not overlap the summer school and fall semester with the internship period, with the conditions explained above.

Internship Institution / Companies and Insurance

The student is obliged to find the institution he / she will do his / her internship. In addition, our university’s Career Development and Alumni Communication Department supports students for finding internship institutions.
