Internship

Students on the Chemical Engineering programme are required to successfully complete their compulsory work placements in order to apply the theoretical knowledge they have acquired during their undergraduate studies, gain professional experience and gain a first-hand understanding of the working world. Our department requires a total of 40 working days of compulsory work placement. As part of this, students must:

• Laboratory Placement (20 working days): This may be undertaken at the earliest by the end of the fourth semester. The host organisation must have at least one laboratory, and there must be at least one chemist or specialist staff member in the relevant field working in that laboratory.
• Industrial Placement (20 working days): This may be undertaken at the earliest by the end of the sixth semester. The organisation where the placement is to take place must carry out production activities and have at least one chemical engineer or an engineer specialising in a relevant field on staff. 

Placement applications are processed in accordance with the dates announced in our University’s academic calendar, and students must submit all required application documents in full before commencing their placement. The assessment and approval of placements are carried out by the Departmental Placement Committee in accordance with the Istanbul Health and Technology University Placement Guidelines and the Chemical Engineering Department Placement Implementation Principles.

You can access placement application documents, the placement calendar, assessment processes and the latest announcements via the ‘Forms and Guides’ section.
