CO-OP - "MY CAMPUS, MY WORKPLACE"
With the CO-OP Education Model, implemented for the first time in Türkiye by Bahçeşehir University, BAU students have the opportunity to gain real work experience while still at university. Thanks to BAU's collaboration with more than a thousand domestic and international companies, students gain professional experience by working full-time in the summer and part-time in the winter. Students who successfully complete the Branded Courses offered by internship and partner companies on their own fields, products, services and practices add another plus to their BAU Plus CVs.

The most original and innovative concept of the CO-OP Education Model is "Branded Courses". A branded course is the name given to courses that companies open under their own brands at Bahçeşehir University to train a qualified workforce in their own fields, products, services and practices. Companies prepare the content of these practice-oriented courses according to the needs of the sector, and the courses are taught by industry representatives. By choosing branded courses, students have the opportunity to take classes one-on-one with industry representatives and company executives. At the end of the course, successful students are awarded a certificate bearing the signature of the relevant company.

Combining education and working life with the CO-OP Education Model, BAU has so far given nearly 3,000 students the chance to have a CO-OP experience.
