Voluntary Internship

During their undergraduate education, students who undertake internships are covered by Occupational Accident and Occupational Disease Insurance and, where applicable, General Health Insurance, in accordance with the relevant provisions of Law No. 5510 on Social Insurance and General Health Insurance. The insurance premiums are paid by the Health, Culture and Sports Department of Hacettepe University.

To ensure that students' insurance procedures are completed accurately and that the required notifications are submitted to the Social Security Institution (SGK) on time and in accordance with the regulations, all required documents must be submitted completely and within the specified deadlines.

Internship Agreement

As part of the voluntary summer internship process, some institutions may require students to submit an official Internship Agreement.

A sample Internship Agreement is provided below for students in the Department of Health Management.

Students who wish to use the agreement should download the document, complete the required information, and either submit it in person or save it as a PDF and send it by e-mail to gamzebayin@gmail.com. Agreements submitted in PDF format will be electronically signed and returned to students via e-mail.

Required Documents

The following documents must be submitted for a voluntary internship:

• Annex-2: Intern Information Form

• Annex-3: Workplace Application and Acceptance Form

• Annex-4: Declaration and Undertaking Form (Students Covered by Health Insurance)

• Annex-5: Declaration and Undertaking Form (Students Not Covered by Health Insurance)

• These forms must be completed electronically using a readable font and must not be filled out by hand.
• Students wishing to participate in a voluntary internship must submit all required documents no later than 15 days and no earlier than one month before the internship start date.
• The "General Health Insurance (GSS) Status" field in the seventh column of the Annex-2 Intern Information Form indicates whether the student currently has health insurance coverage.
• Two different declaration forms are available depending on the student's insurance status. Students must complete and sign the declaration that applies to their situation before submitting it to the department.

Providing accurate information is essential because different insurance procedures apply depending on whether the student is covered under a family member's health insurance.

• Students who are covered under a parent or another family member's health insurance must complete Annex-4 (Declaration and Undertaking Form – Students Covered by Health Insurance). For these students, only the 1% Short-Term Insurance Premium (Occupational Accidents and Occupational Diseases) will be paid.

• Students who are not covered under a family member's health insurance must complete Annex-5 (Declaration and Undertaking Form – Students Not Covered by Health Insurance). For these students, both the 1% Short-Term Insurance Premium and the 5% General Health Insurance Premium will be paid.

Workplace Approval

Students must obtain approval from the internship institution by having the Annex-3 Workplace Application and Acceptance Form signed before submitting it to the department.

If requested by the internship institution, a copy of the approved form may be provided to the institution.

Internship Duration

The maximum duration of a voluntary internship is 30 working days.

This 30-working-day limit does not apply to internships obtained through the Presidential National Internship Program.

SGK Employment Entry Declaration

Student interns may obtain their Social Security Institution (SGK) Employment Entry Declaration through the e-Government Gateway (e-Devlet) by following the path:
