What is the Erasmus Exchange Program?
The Erasmus Program is an initiative established under the Lifelong Learning and Youth Programs implemented by the European Union until 2013. It involves reciprocal exchange opportunities for students and academic staff. The program provides non-refundable financial support to higher education institutions to develop and implement joint projects and facilitate short-term student and staff exchanges. In 2014, the program was expanded and transformed into the Erasmus+ Program, encompassing education, training, youth, and sports fields.
To benefit from the Erasmus+ Program, students must have a minimum cumulative GPA (General Academic Average) of 2.20 and a minimum B2 (75) proficiency level in the required language.

The Mevlana Exchange Program facilitates the exchange of students and academic staff between higher education institutions in Turkey and abroad. Students enrolled in associate, undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs at higher education institutions in Turkey or abroad, recognized by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK), can participate in this program. To qualify for the exchange, the higher education institutions must have signed a Mevlana Exchange Program Protocol.
Students can participate in the program for a minimum of one semester and a maximum of two semesters. Academic staff can benefit from the program to teach at international higher education institutions for a minimum of one week and a maximum of three months. Similarly, students and academic staff from all regions worldwide can join higher education institutions in Turkey under this program.
Eligibility criteria for students include being enrolled in formal education programs, having a minimum GPA of 2.5 for associate and undergraduate students, and a minimum GPA of 3.0 for graduate and doctoral students. Students in the preparatory and first year of associate or undergraduate programs, as well as those in preparatory or scientific preparation periods of graduate or doctoral studies, are not eligible to apply for the program in their first semester of main education.
