  “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” Educational philosophy of the Famous educational scientist John Dewey is also the foundation of our university’s educational philosophy and unique education teaching model. We want our students to associate what they have learned in university with those in real life, to be able to apply what they have learned and to be in real life in the course of their education. For this reason, as part of our education and training programs, internship is compulsory in our curriculum. Our students spend at least one semester in a workplace operating in their field. We implement the model of 7 plus 1 semester internship for our bachelor’s degree programmes, 6 plus 2 semester internships for our four-year high school programmes, 3 plus 1 semester internship for vocational degree programmes and we’ll make sure that our students are at work for at least one semester.
