Internship

Erasmus+, the academic exchange and cooperation program in which Türkiye participates within the scope of its European Union relations, is an opportunity our students prefer for both semester exchanges and summer internships.

Through this program, our students have the opportunity to work in restaurants in Europe that accept them, while also benefiting from the grant provided by the Union.

Students who complete their internship through the program and meet the required qualifications are considered to have completed their compulsory internship.
 

Students who will do an internship are required to read this text and follow the steps below. According to the curriculum of the Department of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts, your compulsory internship is 60 working days. To do an internship at the institution you are planning to work at, you must first obtain approval by email from the Head of Department regarding the suitability of the institution. If approved, you may do your internship at that institution.

Before starting your internship, simply follow the steps below.

1) Professional Practice Application Form: The first table in the form contains the student's information and is completed by the student. The second table contains information about the institution/business/restaurant where the internship will take place; this section must be completed and signed by the business. The document signed by the student and the business is forwarded to the Department Internship Coordinator for the final signature. Once it has been signed and returned to the student:

2) Pandemic Period Internship Petition: Completed and signed by the student.

3) Letter of Undertaking: Completed and signed by the student.

4) The student obtains their certificate of residence.

5) The student adds 1 passport-size photograph to the file.

6) At least 5 (five) working days before the internship start date, the student submits the above forms, signed and approved, to the Bahçeşehir University Human Resources Unit.

NOTE: This step is necessary and important so that the University can register the student for insurance during the internship period.

During the current pandemic period, documents may also be scanned and sent by email.

During the internship, you only need to complete the following document.

• Internship Logbook: Completed by the student separately for each day of the internship. The first 2 pages of the 3-page document are cover pages and only need to be completed once. The 3rd page is completed separately for each working day of the internship. For example, a student doing a 30-day internship must complete the 3rd page separately for each day. (This section is completed on a computer.)

What to do at the end of the internship:

• Intern Evaluation Form: At the end of the internship, this form is completed by the person in charge at the institution/business where the internship took place and handed to the student in a sealed envelope.
• The student combines the internship logbook with the cover pages and has it spiral-bound. The student submits it to the Department Internship Coordinator together with the signed intern evaluation form obtained from the institution where the internship took place.

Note for those who wish to do a voluntary internship:

• The Professional Practice Application Form is completed as described above and forwarded to the Department Internship Coordinator for the required signatures.
• The Letter of Undertaking and the Pandemic Period Internship Petition are completed and signed by the student.
• The student adds a certificate of residence and one passport-size photograph to the file.
• The student adds the documents signed and returned by the Department Internship Coordinator to the file.
• At least 5 (five) working days before the internship start date, the student submits the above forms, signed and approved, to the Bahçeşehir University Human Resources Unit.

Students doing a voluntary internship have nothing else to do during or at the end of the internship. (There is no need to complete an internship logbook or intern evaluation form. There is no need to submit any documents to the Department Internship Coordinator at the end of the internship.)

NOTE: The above documents do not have to be submitted by hand as a physical file; they may also be sent to the Human Resources Unit by email. The contact person at the Human Resources Unit is Zeynep Maden. Email address: zeynep.maden@hur.bau.edu.tr
