Important Information About the Internship Process

Dear students,

The important points to follow regarding the POLS/IR Department internship process are:

First, when you are accepted for an internship at an institution, the Internship Coordinator Prof. Ayşegül Kibaroğlu, who will check the suitability of the relevant internship for our department, need to be informed.

If Ayşegül Kibaroğlu approves the suitability of the internship, you must receive an Internship Application Form and Internship Workday Form from Research Assistant Dr. Cansu Güleç.

It is very crucial to keep an Internship Notebook in which you write down in detail what you did for each day during the internship. When your internship is over, your internship diary and/or internship notebook must be approved by your relevant supervisor at the institution where you completed your internship, and the Internship Evaluation Form written about you must be submitted in a sealed envelope.

The second type of document you will submit when applying to the institution or company where you will do your internship and when you do your internship is a letter stating that your insurance will be paid by MEF University when you are accepted for the internship. You can get this letter from our Faculty Dean’s Office Secretary Ms. Selin Taşçı.

Some institutions request a letter from the school stating that the internship is compulsory. In this case, please contact Dr. Cansu Güleç.

You can use the links below for transactions you can make without having to go to our University’s Financial Affairs Directorate. The Social Security Institution notification form must be filled out at least 5 days before the internship starting date. Please also fill out the forms below:
