Outgoing Students

Congratulations on being selected for the Erasmus Mobility Program—what an exciting opportunity for you!

Our students have the opportunity to spend 1 semester or 1 year abroad within Erasmus+ Programme, and as long as the quota of our university allows. Associate’s Degree, Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s Degree and PhD students can benefit from Erasmus Programme. The only condition for applying for the program is to have 2.20 GPA for Associate Degree and Undergraduate Degree students and 2.50 GPA for Master’s Degree and PhD students. Assessment is comprised of two parts: 50% of Erasmus+ English Proficiency Exam Score and 50% of Transcript Score. Those students who gain right to benefit from the programme within the quota of our university receive a grant ranging from 450 to 750 Euro monthly, depending on the country they visit. 

There are two types of mobility: 

Student Mobility: In Student mobility, you have the opportunity to study at universities with which your department has agreements, according to your preference. 

Traineeship Mobility: In this type of mobility, the student who wants to benefit from the mobility is responsible for finding the institution where they will intern. There is an opportunity to complete an traineeship mobility within 12 months after graduation. 

Grant 

A grant refers to a financial payment that doesn't need to be repaid, awarded to students selected through the University's evaluation process. The Turkish National Agency allocates funds to universities based on specific criteria, and these institutions then disburse the funds to students in the form of grants. 

The following is the amount of grants for different countries based on monthly payment: 

The payment of the grant is made in two installments. The first one is the 70% of  students’ grant which is put into their EURO account before they go. The rest 30% final payment will be made according to arrival and departure dates in their passport and upon the examination of the transcript and letter of confirmation which they will get from the host university before returning to our country. 

If they want, students can participate in the mobilities without grant (as zero-grant students). The applications of zero-grant students are subject to the general assessment procedures with others, and zero-grant students go through the same processes as grant students. Zero-grant students are different in that they are not included in budget calculations, and they receive no grant.

Visa Procedure: 

Students must secure a student visa for the country to which they are exchanging. 

The responsibility for obtaining a visa does not fall on the Erasmus+ Office, and students who fail to secure one are not the office's responsibility. Ensuring they have a valid passport before applying for a visa is a crucial responsibility for students. Visa application processes and document requirements vary by country. It's recommended to contact the Consulate for a specific list of documents needed for Erasmus+ students, and to also check the necessity and acquisition process for a residence permit. Since obtaining a student visa and residence permit can be time-consuming, students should initiate their visa application process no less than six to eight weeks before their exchange semester begins. 

For the visa application, the Erasmus+ Office will supply students with a necessary document—a letter for the consulate confirming their participation in the Erasmus+ Exchange Program and their eligibility for mobility grants from the National Agency. Students must collect this document from the Erasmus+ Office themselves. 

General Health Insurance

All students in Erasmus+ Programme are required to have a general health insurance that will cover their treatment in the country they visit. In addition, students who will participate in the Traineeship Mobility are required to purchase Liability and Accident Insurance.

This health insurance is not travel health insurance!
