ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Does the health insurance of the university for my internship contributes to my retirement?
It is obligatory to provide health insurance to the trainees during their internship. The scope of internship insurance includes occupational diseases and work accidents that the person has faced during internship. Internship insurance premiums are paid for this purpose. There is no retirement-related premium payment. When calculating the number of days for retirement, internship premium days cannot be included in this calculation. For this reason, people who calculate for retirement should not take their insurance starting from the internship period and should not add the premiums of that period.
2. For the compulsory summer internship, it is written in the internship procedures and principles that we can do 2 types of internships: “Production” and “Service/Information Technologies”. Should we do our internship only for one of these 2 departments? Is there a distinction between the form of a production/management internship?

Students who do not have to attend classes can do internships during the semester with the decision of the Department Head upon the recommendation of the relevant Department Internship Committee. In any case, every student who wants to do an internship outside the summer term submits their advisor-approved petitions, which clearly state their status (with transcripts, lecture schedule, etc.) to be submitted to the approval of the relevant Department Head, to the relevant Department Secretariat.
Students who are obliged to attend classes can do internships during the semester by applying with a petition if there is a graduation status at the end of the semester and there are at least three free lesson days during the week.
