Internships

Summer Internship Information

In the Faculty of Engineering at Izmir University of Economics, students have the opportunity to do summer internships at the end of the second and third years. These internships are aimed at introducing the students to the applications of computer engineering, software engineering, food engineering, civil engineering or industrial engineering, enabling them to practice the theoretical knowledge learned in the program and to gain real life experience before graduation. We observe that internships also help students in developing industry contacts for career networking, and in improving their oral and written communication skills. This way, many of our students get job offers even before they graduate.

We want all of our students to obtain the maximum benefit out of their internship experiences. In order to achieve this objective, there is a group of three members from each department in the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Sciences to coordinate the internship program and to advise students on this matter. This group organizes several meetings and panels throughout the academic year to guide the students and to increase the awareness about the importance of internships. Our strong collaborations with the industry provide our students internship opportunities at a variety of sectors and companies.

Our students have the opportunity to make their selections of a company for internship according to their areas of interest. As it can be seen from the chart, in the past years, most of our students performed their internships at sectors such as manufacturing, health, telecommunication, construction, and defense. We have many graduates who started working at the same or similar places following their internships at prominent companies including Arçelik, Beko, Coca Cola, Doğadan, MAN, Merrill-Lynch, Procter and Gamble, Renault, Tepe Knauf, Tofaş, Toyota, Türksat, Unilever, Ülker, Vestel.
