International Cooperative Education (ICE) Program is a dynamic academic model that integrates periods of full-time study with periods of full-time, career-relevant employment. Designed to seamlessly connect academic learning with real-world application, the program provides students with practical, discipline-aligned experience that directly supports their career aspirations—substantially boosting their employability after graduation. Beyond technical skills, students gain insight into workplace dynamics, develop interpersonal competencies, and often benefit from financial support during their studies. For employers, ICE presents a strategic opportunity to engage with emerging talent, incorporate fresh perspectives into their operations, and shape potential future employees from an early stage.

At Antalya Bilim University, the ICE Program represents a next-generation model of university-industry collaboration. It connects students with leading companies in Turkey and around the globe, providing them with firsthand exposure to professional environments, diverse corporate cultures, and cutting-edge practices—all while continuing their academic journey. In addition to practical experience, students build valuable professional networks, gain access to mentorship opportunities, and take early steps toward building a strong, sustainable career path.
