WORKPLACE TRAINING/PRACTICE GENERAL INFORMATION
Our Faculty has started "Workplace Training/Practice" on a voluntary and pilot basis since the 2022-2023 Academic Year, and the students of our Faculty's Department of Economics (Day Program) have spent their 7th or 8th semester at workplaces in their field of study.
In this context, during the 2024-2025 Academic Year Fall Semester, the students of our Faculty's Department of Economics (Day Program) will be able to spend their 7th semester at workplaces in their field.
Workplace Training/Practice is voluntary, and students participating in the practice will take their compulsory courses (2 courses) online through the distance education system, while they will register for the "Workplace Training" course instead of elective courses (4 courses).
Workplace Training/Practice will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of "Mersin University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences Workplace Training Procedures and Principles."
