Internship Exemption
Students who meet the conditions specified in the Internship Implementation Guidelines may request an internship exemption. The process consists of the following steps:
1. The student must complete one copy of the FR-1630-Faculty of Architecture, Department of Architecture Internship Exemption Application Form in full. This form must specify the number of days and the type of internship (office or construction site) for which the student is requesting an exemption. if an exemption is requested for both office and construction site internships, two separate forms must be prepared; the student must state on the first form the number of days of office internship exemption requested and on the second form the number of days of construction site internship exemption requested. The form may be filled out by hand and scanned, or it may be prepared, signed, and stamped entirely digitally. It must be converted into a PDF file that is clearly legible on screen and no larger than 1 MB.
2. For an exemption based on the student having at least one year of work experience, a document explaining the architectural activities performed by the student during that period—using brief text descriptions and visuals—must be prepared as a PDF file no larger than 10 MB (There is no standard form for this document; the student may prepare it themselves).
3. Other relevant documents specified in the Internship Implementation Guidelines for the exemption must be provided and converted into a PDF file no larger than 5 MB.
4. The FR-1630 Faculty of Architecture, Department of Architecture Internship Exemption Application Form in PDF format, the file describing the architectural activities performed, and the other required documents must be emailed to mimburostaji@yildiz.edu.tr.
