See the related instruction.
Emails are not answered continuously throughout the week. They are processed in batches at the assistant's scheduled email processing times. Emails received after a batch is completed will be processed in the next batch. Please plan your inquiries accordingly. Messages marked as "urgent" may still be deferred to the next scheduled email batch.
Current email processing schedule (may change):
Scheduled future exceptions:
Also, your mailboxes can be full sometimes, preventing you from receiving emails (including the account creation and password reset emails). Please make sure you have room in your mailbox.
Important: See also the relevant instruction. Your internship may be rejected altogether under certain circumstances.
For several reasons, your company might not be listed in our system. Please create the company with the necessary information when that is the case. However, you cannot directly create a company, but you can create a company request. This is for moderation. We will process your company requests (and edit them if necessary). In the meantime, you do not have to wait for your company request to be accepted. You can create your training request by selecting your company not from the company list but from the company request list.
Dean's office can give you a document that states that 40 days of training is mandatory for Computer Engineering students. Email one of the personnel at the Dean's office (https://eng.bogazici.edu.tr/tr/pages/dekanlik/1976, pekcangu@bogazici.edu.tr) about your inquiry.
The Department of Accounting Affairs (Hesap İşleri Şube Müdürlüğü) is in charge of issuing the social security insurance papers of the trainee. The earliest they can initiate your SGK insurance (and thereby issue a report of your social security insurance status) is 7 days before your training starts. They can give you a document that states that Boğaziçi University will cover your social security insurance during your training upon your request, if you need one. You can reach them via hesap@bogazici.edu.tr.
Transfer students can use at most 30 workdays of training from the period they spent in their previous institutions by supplying official documents such as their transcript.
Only in this exceptional situation, yes, you can indeed do an internship during the upcoming spring/fall semester, provided that you verify your situation with your transcript. The formal procedure is as follows:
Only for internships done under this exceptional situation, the due date for your company's response to our request to review your training report and fill your trainee evaluation form (see step D.6 of the respective instructions section) is the last day of that term's regular final exams (not the excuse exams).
You may complete a small number of remaining internship days in early summer before graduation, after your final exams for the spring semester. The steps are the same as for regular internships; see the instructions section. However, you must act quickly: the internship must be concluded at least 2 weeks before the graduation document submission deadline. Otherwise, it may delay or prevent your graduation approval.
Please avoid postponing your internship to this period unless necessary, since doing so creates a risk of not graduating on time.
Outgoing Erasmus or exchange students must receive approval from the Dean's Office to do an internship during a spring/fall semester in which they are not registered at Boğaziçi University due to studying abroad.
You must log in to BUIS/ÖBİKAS and submit an e-petition explaining your situation. If the Dean's Office approves your request, the internship procedure can then be carried out.
Check out the training report template under common documents. You are expected to follow exactly the general report rules given at the end and submit your training report exactly in the PDF format. The template contains the mandatory main sections, the minimum and the maximum number of pages for each section, and the information that should go under that section. Make sure that you follow those rules and answer all those questions. Include additional subsections to improve the quality and the readability of your report. The training report should be written in English.
First of all, you have to realize that you are writing a report, not a summary of a book or manual, for the internship activities part of the training report. Therefore, in the report, you have to explain what you have done. Do not summarize a manual or a book for your training report. Think about the activities you have performed during training, e.g., analysis, coding, testing, learning how to use software tools, attending meetings, presenting, etc. For each of those activities, give details of your work.
You are required to include the source code of the work you conducted during your internship in the appendix section of your report. The included code should be representative of the entirety of your work during the internship and should not be limited to a few isolated code blocks. Ensure the code is well-organized and visually readable.
If you are unable to share the code due to company policies, you must explicitly state this in the report and have the relevant page signed&stamped.
The requests for trainees from the industry are posted on the training board. Please check this board regularly. Moreover, you can search for other companies. A partial list of companies is available here. Of course, the companies you can work for as a trainee are not limited to those on the list.
Yes, training abroad is permitted. The steps are the same as for regular internships; see the instructions section. You must be SGK insured by the university even if the company is located abroad.
The application can be in one of the following topics:
Internships conducted at universities, whether in Turkey or abroad, are not accepted. Similarly, internships at companies that consist solely of research and result in a research report are also not accepted.
During your internship, you are required to engage in development or design work related to at least one area within the field of computer engineering.
The university may cover SGK insurance for voluntary internships, but only with the approval of the Faculty of Engineering. You can request this approval by submitting an e-petition through BUIS/ÖBİKAS.
Note that voluntary internships do not count toward the mandatory internship days required for graduation, and are generally separate from mandatory internships. Internships on CMPE INTERN are reserved for mandatory internships; do not create an internship request here for a voluntary internship.
If you are missing days due to national/religious holidays being deducted, then you must do another internship to complete the requirement. If you are missing days due to other reasons, consider sending cmpesystem@gmail.com an email with your inquiry.
No. Your report must be self-contained with respect to the material it introduces as part of your work. Therefore, the relevant code must be included in the appendix rather than replaced by a repository link.
Your repository may still be linked in addition to the embedded code. Since the report represents your work at the time of submission, it is better to provide a permanent link to a specific commit or labeled version used while preparing the report, rather than a link to the repository itself, which may later show a changed version.
Note that this does not prevent you from citing or linking to external references. External references are not your own submitted work, so they do not need to be embedded in the report in the same way.
Yes, but only if remote or hybrid work is the regular working mode at your company and your company supervisor asks you to work that way. On-site working should be preferred whenever possible.
