What is Mevlana Exchange Programme?

Mevlana Exchange Programme is a programme that enables students and academic staff to be exchanged between higher education institutions in Turkey and higher education institutions abroad. Unlike other exchange programmes, mobility within the exchange programme covers higher education institutions worldwide without any geographical distinction. Within the Mevlana Exchange Programme scope, associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral students enrolled in formal education programmes in all higher education institutions in Turkey and abroad recognised by the Council of Higher Education can participate in the student exchange. Higher education institutions must have signed a Mevlana Exchange Programme Protocol for the exchange.

Students who want to participate in the exchange programme can benefit from the programme for at least one semester and at most two semesters of education, and academic staff can benefit from the programme for at least 1 week and at most 3 months to give lectures in higher education institutions around the world. Similarly, students and teaching staff from all regions of the world can come to higher education institutions in Türkiye.

The basic conditions for being a Mevlana Exchange Programme student can be grouped under several headings:
