Turkey: Beyond the Classroom

Internships and Field Study

Students may volunteer for work at local Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) and schools.

In the summer after EAP, there are also opportunities to participate in archaeological excavations at historic sites. The projects may be run by university departments; or department teachers may be prominent members of another institution’s project; or a project may request student workers from a specific university; or an excavation may not fit into any of these categories but is open to students. Due to the large number of opportunities, all students who want a place have been able to find one. Students must submit their applications in the fall for work the following summer due to Ministry of Culture and Tourism application deadlines. The EAP liaisons at both Bilkent and METU can assist students with the application process. Students should bring a resume and letter(s) of reference with them to Turkey if they are interested in applying for these opportunities. Spring-only semester students will not be able to apply.
