The Erasmus+ Student Mobility for Studies is an important program funded by the European Union that provides higher education students with opportunities to gain academic experience abroad. According to the announcement by the Turkish-German University, this program is available for undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students at specified academic periods (e.g., Spring 2023/2024 and Fall 2024/2025) at designated partner universities. This mobility is only conducted within the framework of inter-institutional agreements, and applications are submitted through the e-Government portal.
The main objective of the program is to enable students to develop their language skills, gain intercultural awareness, and grow as academically competent individuals by engaging with international academic environments. Application requirements include an up-to-date transcript, language proficiency certificate, and minimum academic performance criteria. Additionally, students from disadvantaged groups and those who prefer green travel receive additional support. Thus, Erasmus+ emphasizes not only academic excellence but also social inclusivity and sustainability.
The selection process is based on a scoring system that equally weighs academic achievement and language proficiency. Furthermore, social status, previous mobility experiences, and special circumstances (e.g., children of martyrs/veterans, disabilities, disaster victims, etc.) may positively or negatively impact the scoring. Selected students can study abroad with grants for a maximum of five months, and grant payments are made in two installments (before and after the mobility period).
The Erasmus+ Student Mobility for Studies aims for holistic personal development, facilitating students' integration into the global knowledge economy. Participation in the program enhances not only academic knowledge but also self-confidence, social skills, and competitiveness in the global job market. Detailed application requirements, selection and evaluation processes, and funding criteria, as outlined by the Turkish-German University, ensure transparency and fairness.
