Internship Practice

In addition to the theoretical and practical courses included in the curriculum of our department, compulsory internships are also made in order to reinforce the program outcomes, professional knowledge and practical skills that we aim to provide to our students, to have students recognize career opportunities related to molecular biology and genetics, to gain experience, to make better decisions about their careers after graduation.

The internships in our department is carried out within the scope of the “Framework Regulation on Practical Education at Universities” and the “Practical Training Directive” of our university for 20 days, 4 days a week, during vacation periods, at home and abroad according to the preference of the student. In addition, within the scope of ERASMUS+ student mobility, our students can also do internships at universities with which we have an ERASMUS+ agreement.

Our students present their internship with a poster presentation at an event attended by all department lecturers and students and other interested stakeholders on a date determined by the department. The Department Internship Commission evaluates the poster presentation and internship record in accordance with the criteria determined by the department board and decides on the acceptance, correction or rejection of the internship. The Department Internship Commission evaluates internships according to the criteria of internship file (20%), poster (30%) and poster presentation (50%). According to these criteria, students who score at least 60 points out of a hundred from the course are considered successful from the internship, and the grade of the internship course is indicated in the student’s transcript as “Passed” or “Failed” in accordance with the legislation.
