Erasmus+ Student Study Mobility with Partner Countries

How to Apply

Students wishing to apply must complete the online application form available at https://applyerasmus.izu.edu.tr/.

Application Documents

• The online application form must be completed in full.
• A photograph must be attached to the application form.
• Documents relating to relatives of martyrs and veterans, disability status, and protection, care or accommodation decisions under Social Services Law No. 2828 must be uploaded to the online application system, if available. (The originals of these documents must subsequently be submitted to the Erasmus Institutional Coordination Office.)
• Language exam result certificate (Result certificates for the TOEFL-IBT, TOEFL-CBT, TOEFL-PBT, YDS, YÖKDİL and IELTS exams recognised as equivalent by the university may be uploaded to the system, or candidates may register via the online application form for the most recent Erasmus Language Proficiency Exam to be held by the Foreign Languages Coordination Office.)
• During the application, the student must upload an official (signed and sealed) transcript obtained from the Directorate of Student Affairs showing their cumulative grade point average at the time of application.

Minimum Requirements

To take part in the activity, students must first meet the following minimum requirements:

• Being a student of the Islamic Sciences (30% Arabic) undergraduate programme,
• Being a full-time student (having the obligation to take 30 ECTS of courses)
• Having a cumulative academic grade point average of at least 2.20/4.00,
• Documentation of Arabic language proficiency at B2 level,
• If the student has previously benefited from higher education mobility activities under Erasmus+ or the Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP) within the current study cycle, the total duration including the new activity must not exceed 12 months.

Selection Criteria

The evaluation criteria and weighted scores used in assessing mobility applications are as follows:

*Priority is given to combat veterans and their spouses and children, as well as the spouses and children of war martyrs; the spouses and children of "public officials who, while performing their duties at home or abroad, or even after their status has ended, have been wounded, disabled, died or been killed as a result of acts of terrorism because of the performance of those duties" pursuant to Article 21 of the Anti-Terror Law No. 3713 dated 12/4/1991; and, pursuant to Article 7 of Decree Law No. 667 dated 23 July 2016, the spouses and children of those who lost their lives as a result of the coup attempt and terrorist act carried out on 15 July 2016 and the acts that followed it, as well as civilians who were disabled and their spouses and children, when they apply for Erasmus+ student mobility.

**For prioritisation, the student must present a letter from the Ministry of Family and Social Policies stating that a protection, care or shelter decision has been taken in respect of them under Law No. 2828.

***The application of "-10 points" for previous participation does not apply to mobilities carried out at a previous study cycle or to mobilities other than higher education student/traineeship mobility. It applies where a student who has already carried out a mobility applies again within the same study cycle.

Erasmus+ Mobility with Grant Option

Under the Erasmus+ Programme, selected students may receive an Erasmus+ grant to cover their living expenses during the mobility period. The Erasmus+ grant is a contribution and may not cover 100% of the expenses incurred before and during the mobility (such as visa, accommodation, flight tickets and living expenses). In such cases, the student must cover the remaining amount themselves.

Quota

Erasmus+ Mobility without Grant Option

Students may exercise this right by selecting the "Without Grant" option on the online form during the application, or by notifying the Erasmus Institutional Coordination Office after the results have been announced. Whether they are selected with or without a grant, Erasmus+ students do not pay tuition, registration, examination or library fees to the university they attend.

Additional Grant Opportunity for Persons with Special Needs

Students with disabilities may receive an additional grant for their mobility according to their specific needs. For detailed information, please contact the Erasmus Institutional Coordination Office.

Points to Consider When Applying

• Students may apply only for the spring semester.
• Taking courses worth 30 ECTS per semester is compulsory. For this reason, students at the graduation stage with a small ECTS load cannot apply.
