Students can apply by reviewing the academic programs and courses offered by the partner universities to check the compatibility of the course program with the department or program they are enrolled in at Yeditepe University, and by consulting with the Erasmus Department Coordinators about the suitability of their program.
No financial support (grant) is available for this exchange.
THESE APPLICATIONS ARE FOR THE 2025-2026 ACADEMIC YEAR FALL AND SPRING SEMESTERS.
For students choosing the Fall semester, if the partner institution’s Fall semester nomination is closed, they will be nominated for the Spring semester instead. Nominations for students choosing the Fall semester depend on the application deadlines of the partner institution.
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
The student must be enrolled as a full-time student in any level of higher education (undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral program) at their higher education institution. Students enrolled in a double major can apply for mobility from only one major during the same application period. It is not possible to change departments after the application phase.
Undergraduate students at our university can only apply for long-term (2-12 months) physical or blended Student Learning Mobility starting from their 2nd semester (excluding preparatory class). (Students enrolled in the Preparatory class cannot apply. They must be enrolled in their academic department/program at the time of the application’s opening date.) This call includes quotas for undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students.
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) must meet the following criteria: a. Undergraduate students must have a CGPA of at least 2.20/4.00. b. Graduate and doctoral students must have a CGPA of at least 2.50/4.00.
Students must have enough ECTS credits or equivalent course load to participate in the mobility program.
Example: A student in their 4th year with only 10 ECTS credits left to graduate cannot apply for the mobility program. For graduate and doctoral students in the thesis period, a Learning Agreement can be arranged based on 25 ECTS worth of non-course work during one academic semester.
Applications will be accepted from March 25, 2025 to April 24, 2025, 23:59 via the KION system.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY

Other accepted documents for English proficiency:
Minimum passing English YDS / (e)YDS / YÖKDİL score: 66 / 100

TOEFL IBT and PBT scores are only accepted from Yeditepe University, Istanbul Technical University, and Middle East Technical University exam centers.

EVALUATION PROCESS
The International Exchange Score is determined by considering 50% of the student's overall academic GPA and 50% of their performance in the language exam. This score affects the student's placement at the partner university.
After uploading their transcript to the KION system, all students who meet the minimum GPA requirement will be conditionally accepted. The final score will be determined by the English exam that will be taken afterward.
Students will be ranked based on the International Exchange Program Score according to the quota of each partner university.
If there are remaining vacancies for students who are not placed, an additional announcement will be made to allow them to apply for those vacancies.
Once students are placed at a university, their university cannot be changed under any circumstances (except for mistakes made in the placement process).
Students must be accepted by the institution they will be attending to carry out their mobility after being selected at their home university.
Students are responsible for their own international travel arrangements, accommodation, passport, and visa procedures, but they can receive support from the partner university and Yeditepe University's International Exchange and Cooperation Coordination.
