Social Services

Hello, I'm Alparslan Bahçeci. I'm a 3rd year student at Bandirma Onyedi Eylul University, Department of Social Work. It is a field that works on improving human health and human well-being. We try to maximize the welfare of the society.Apart from the common courses of YÖK and our university, we can categorize the courses of our department in 5 groups. In the first group there are courses on unprivileged people such as children, the disabled, the elderly and refugees. The second group of courses are given on areas such as natural disasters and first aid. In the third group, social work courses are given in the fields of social work, medical social work, and forensic social work. In the fourth group, courses such as introduction to social work, social work areas, social work legislation, and social welfare approaches are given. In the fifth group, we take courses that support social work. We take courses such as psychology, sociology, economics, and law. We do not need a laboratory for these courses, but we do need a workshop. Soon, that will be taken care of. Because we need workshops especially for our support of unprivileged groups. In the last year, we receive training in official institutions or non-governmental organizations so that we can develop skills related to our field for a full term. For this reason, we do not have a compulsory internship, but students can undertake internships in summer terms.
They can work in the relevant institutions and organizations affiliated to the Ministry of Family and Social Services in areas such as foster carers and nursing homes. We can work in ministries and related institutions such as the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of National Education, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Youth and Sports. We can work in local provincial and district administrations: we can work for Red Crescent and Green Crescent. We also can find work in the private sector, such as private nursing homes. I chose this department because artificial intelligence has an important place in today's technology, human health, and human mind. I also like interacting and communicating with people and being able to influence their lives. I researched the universities and I was impressed with Bandirma Onyedi Eylul University's academic staff, that's why I decided to come here. Since we are the first students of this department, our lecturers value us very much. We are in constant communication. Our library is open 24/7, and we can access the equipment we need whenever we want. I want to start working as soon as I graduate, but some of my friends want to pursue an academic career. Since our profession is a people-centered field, candidates should be very humanitarian. I wish good luck to the candidates who will take the university exam.
