Bahçeşehir University part-time jobs for students 2026 guide — overview and why it matters

How BAU supports students seeking part-time work

Career services and employer engagement

BAU’s career services provide continuous support throughout the academic year. Key services include:

• Workshops on job search strategies, CV/resume writing, communication skills, and interview preparation scheduled each semester.
• Networking events and meet-and-greet sessions with employers on campus that give recruiters direct access to student talent pools.
• Digital partnerships that let students create job profiles, receive tailored job suggestions, and apply online—making automated matching and targeted outreach possible.

For recruiters: coordinate with BAU’s career office to schedule on-campus presentations and use their digital job platforms for targeted campaigns.

Research assistantships and internships

Research assistantships and internships are central to BAU’s part-time employment model:

• Research assistantships: Students work with faculty on literature reviews, data collection, analysis, and project tasks. These roles often accommodate part-time schedules and can be tied to stipends or hourly pay.
• Internships: Typically available after the third year’s second semester, internships provide practical industry experience and may be paid or stipend-based. BAU provides official guidelines for documents, insurance, and reporting.

For faculty and HR teams: advertise openings through BAU research centers and directly liaise with department coordinators to identify eligible students.

Vocational training and short courses

BAU’s Continuous Education Center (BAUSEM) and BAUGO offer vocational certificates and short-term programs that increase students’ employability:

• Certificate courses in entrepreneurship, technology, and leadership.
• Project-based modules that sometimes include paid short-term roles.
• Upskilling pathways especially relevant for students targeting part-time roles in IT, digital marketing, and project support.

For partners: sponsor skill-specific bootcamps or design credentialed short programs to create a pipeline of job-ready students.
