WHAT IS COMPULSORY INTERNSHIP?
Compulsory internship is the period of working outside the school, which is documented within the conditions determined by the department and approved by the department, in order for the student to graduate. It is the student's responsibility to find the company where he/she will do his/her internship.
Our university can provide a certain number of quotas from various companies. Announcements about this are made by the department.
In order to graduate, our students must successfully complete the compulsory 30 working days first summer internship - Summer Internship I(in the field of machine or aircraft design, production methods and maintenance activities) and 30 working days second summer internship - Summer Internship II(in the field of design, production, testing and maintenance activities for all types of aircraft such as aircraft, helicopters, UAVs). Summer Internship I is done in the summer term following the second grade and Summer Internship II is done in the summer term following the third grade.
