Academic Calendar
Education and teaching at the university are based on a semester system. Each academic year consists of two semesters, each lasting a minimum of 14 weeks, excluding final exams. The academic calendar, which details the dates and deadlines for registration, courses, exams, and other academic activities, is published on the university’s webpage. Students are encouraged to regularly check the calendar for important dates.
Academic Counseling
Each undergraduate student is assigned a full-time faculty member as an academic advisor by the respective dean’s office or department chair. The advisor guides the student throughout their education, providing advice on academic matters, relevant regulations, and graduation requirements. The advisor’s approval is required for course registration, adding or dropping courses, and withdrawing from courses. Written requests to the department regarding academic issues also require the advisor’s opinion. In addition, the advisor’s and department chair’s opinions are sought on student petitions submitted to faculty councils.
In non-thesis master’s programs, the head of the department appoints a faculty member or a qualified instructor with a doctorate as an academic advisor by the end of the first semester. The advisor assists the student with course selection and the graduation project.
In thesis-based master’s and Ph.D. programs, the department chair assigns a thesis advisor by the end of the first semester, subject to approval by the institute’s governing board.
Leave of Absence / Class Attendance
Preparatory program students are required to attend at least 90% of the lessons and practices in each module. If the absence period is exceeded, health reports cannot exceed 10% of the total time in each module. Students who do not fulfill this obligation are considered unsuccessful.

Through this system, you can access internship, job, and event announcements, learn about the activities of the Career Center, and keep your information up to date by logging in with your IHU e-mail username and password.
Internship Opportunities
Internships are evaluated in two categories: compulsory and voluntary. Compulsory internships are managed by the relevant faculty secretariats. Voluntary internships can be carried out:
• In companies that collaborate with the Career Center,
• Within the scope of the National Internship Program,
• Or in companies where the student independently secures acceptance.
All voluntary internship procedures are coordinated through the Career Center, and occupational health and accident insurance is covered by our university.
Before Voluntary Internship Procedures
• Students must meet the requirements stated in the related announcement and they must have received official acceptance for the internship.
Voluntary Internship Processes
1. Notification: The student informs the Career Center of their internship acceptance via kariyer@ ihu.edu.tr. During the process, the Internship Information Form will be shared with the student. Additionally, the host institution must send an e-mail to kariyer@ihu.edu.tr confirming the internship dates.
Note: If the student has been accepted through the National Internship Program or through an announcement where applications were received via the Career Center, this step is not necessary. This applies only to students who independently secure an internship.
2. Completion of Documents: Students must complete all documents in the form and submit them at least one week before the start of the internship.
3. Insurance Procedures: The Career Center notifies the Human Resources Department, which issues occupational health and accident insurance. The insurance declaration is then shared with the student via e-mail to be submitted to the host institution.
Important Notes
• If the student finishes the internship earlier than the declared end date, they must notify the Career Center so that an insurance termination document can be issued.
• If the student is employed as a part-time student or intern at the university, insurance cannot be covered for two institutions simultaneously. In this case, the internship insurance will only be covered after the student resigns from their university employment.
• For senior students, even if accepted to the National Internship Program, the internship must start and finish before the graduation date for insurance coverage. Otherwise, the university does not cover the insurance fee for students who are graduation candidates.
•Throughout their education at Ibn Haldun University, students can benefit from insurance coverage for multiple internships in different periods. Additional support is also provided to students enrolled in Double Major programs. Students should remain in contact with the Career Center throughout the process.
• For internships under the National Internship Program, students are responsible for confirming the exact start and end dates with the host institution, rather than relying solely on the system records.
• Graduate students are not eligible for internship insurance coverage.
• Internship insurance is provided only for national students.
Career Counseling Services
The Ibn Haldun University Career Center provides career counseling services to support the personal, academic, and professional development of students and graduates under three main categories:
General Counseling: Aims to help students and graduates better understand themselves, discover their interests, identify their strengths and areas for improvement, and set meaningful and achievable career goals.

Professional Career Counseling: For students and graduates targeting non-academic career goals. This service includes job and internship search strategies, sector and position research, identifying competencies required for specific career paths, and creating personalized development plans. Support for CV and cover letter preparation, as well as interview preparation, is also included.

Inter-Institutional Transfer
A lateral transfer can be made to equivalent level diploma programs within a faculty or within another faculty within the same university within the quotas determined by the relevant board of directors. In order to apply for yatay geçiş between diploma programs, the student must have a general grade point average of at least 3.00 out of 4.00 for the semesters he/she completed in the program he/she is registered in and must have earned 48 ECTS for the third semester, 72 for the fourth semester, and 96 for the fifth semester. The relevant boards of directors may determine new criteria, provided that they are not less than these conditions. Transfers can only be made in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th semesters. For horizontal transfer applications between university diploma programs, the student’s central placement score in the valid score type for the diploma program he/she wants to transfer to, as of the year he/she takes the central exam, must not be below the lowest base score of equivalent diploma programs of other higher education institutions in the country.
Intra-Institutional Transfer
Inter-institutional horizontal transfer is made between equivalent diploma programs of higher education institutions at the same level and within the framework of quotas published by the Council of Higher Education. For inter-institutional horizontal transfer, the student’s GPA for the semesters he/she completed in the program he/she is registered in must be at least 76.66 out of 100 (at least 3.00 out of 4.00).

Undergraduate Transfer Based on Central Placement Score
If the central placement score of the student in the year he/she registered is equal to or higher than the base score of the diploma program he/she wants to transfer, the student can apply for yatay geçiş, including the preparatory class. The application calendar for yatay geçiş to the program, the principles regarding the student quota and the procedures and principles regarding yatay geçiş are determined by the Higher Education Executive Board (YÖK). In accordance with the determined procedures and principles, the applications of the students are evaluated by the relevant boards of higher education institutions and their yatay geçiş are accepted.

If the central placement score of the student in the year he/she registered is not below the base score of the diploma program he/she wants to transfer, the student can apply for yatay geçiş to all classes, including the preparatory class. The maximum duration of a student who transfers to a program different from the program he/she is studying is calculated by subtracting the class he/she is accepted from the maximum duration of the program. The fee and scholarship status of the accepted student is determined by the decision of the relevant board of directors and the approval of the rectorate.
Transition to Turkish Undergraduate Programs
