2024-2025 Academic Year Spring Semester Erasmus Student Mobility Applications
ERASMUS+ Program
ERASMUS+ student study mobility is carried out within the framework of the existing bilateral agreements of the higher education institution holding the Standard or Extended ERASMUS+ University Charter to exchange ERASMUS+.
The action is that the student registered in the higher education institution carries out a part of his/her education in the higher education institution abroad, which is a partner with a bilateral agreement.
Study Mobility Selection Process and Required Documents/Minimum Requirements
Students must first meet the following minimum requirements to participate in the activity:
- Being a full-time student enrolled in a higher education program at any of the formal education cycles (first, second or third cycle) within the higher education institution,
- a) Having a minimum of 2.20/4.00 CGPA for first cycle (undergraduate) students, b) 1- The associate degree graduation grade being minimum of 2.20/4.00 for students who have transferred from the associate degree, whose transcript has not been prepared yet at the application stage, 2- High school graduation grade being minimum of 75/100 for first-year students, c) Having a minimum of 2.50/4.00 CGPA for second and third-cycle (graduate) students,
- Having enough courses or non-course ECTS credit load for study mobility. For master’s and doctoral students who do not have a course load, for example, who are in the thesis period, a learning agreement can be arranged for a non-course workload of 30 ECTS in one academic semester,
- The total period not exceeding 12 months with the new activity if the applicant has benefited from higher education mobility activities in the 2014-2020 and/or 2021-2027 Erasmus+ periods within the current education cycle. (The activity period could be a period of 2 to 12 months, valid separately for each level of education (1, 2, or 3 terms depending on the country's systems). Level of education describes associate/bachelor, master, and doctorate degrees.
In addition to the average of success and foreign language scores, when calculating the Erasmus selection score of students who have previously benefited from higher education student or internship mobility within the scope of Erasmus+ (2014-2020 or 2021-2027) within the same education cycle, a deduction of 10 points is applied for each activity previously utilized (regardless of between study-internship distinction).
Students who suspend their registrations can not perform their study mobilities or compulsory internships during the period when they froze their registration. In a voluntary internship, it is left to the Higher Education Institution to decide whether the student who has suspended his/her registration can benefit from mobility. Students can apply for the Erasmus Study and Traineeship mobilities in the period they froze their registration.
Language Proficiency
The students who want to apply for ERASMUS+ Mobilities (Student Mobility for Study and Mobility for Placement) have the chance to increase the score of their IUE English Proficiency Exam they had before. In the framework of this, the students will be able to re-take the English Proficiency Exam held by School of Foreign Languages of IUE on different dates during the academic year.
It is compulsory for;
- Students who do not have English proficiency exam score previously taken,
- Transfer students who do not have any English exam score,
- Graduate students who do not have any English exam score obtained before starting the program
to take English Proficiency Exam if they want to apply for Erasmus+ mobilities.

Matters to be Considered Before Application:

- The University and Turkish National Agency are not responsible for the difference that may occur between the candidate status in the application and the finalized selection results.
- If there is more than one application to a university, the selection will be made according to the ERASMUS+ score, regardless of the order in which the applicants prefer that university.
- It is important to consult Departmental ERASMUS+ coordinator before deciding whether to apply for the Study Mobility or not for academic consulting.You can find the list of your ERASMUS+ Coordinators by department at https://ects.ieu.edu.tr/new/idari.php?id=29.
- Students studying in double major can apply for mobility for only one major in the same application period.

- Since the local language is used as the medium of instruction in some universities, the Medium of Instruction of the university where you want to study within the scope of the ERASMUS+ program must be carefully researched before applying.

They do not pay tuition fees to the university abroad. However, all expenses such as accommodation, transportation, personal expenses, nutrition, health insurance are the responsibility of the student.
- The students who will benefit from the Erasmus+ Mobility for Studies, should check the academic calendar of the universities which they wish to choose. The students should make their choices in a way that will not affect the period they will continue at IUE.
- Students bear all responsibility for not being able to register for courses at IUE after returning from the partner universities, exceeding the period of absence from classes, and affecting their academic success as a result of the academic calendar of IUE and the partner university being incompatible.
- The regulations published by Turkish National Agency will be followed in case mobility starts physically and then turns into virtual mobility depending on the conditions of the pandemic, natural disasters, force majeure, etc.
