ERASMUS PROGRAMME

As a part of the EU Education and Youth Programs, Erasmus is a program in the field of higher education which aims to enhance the quality and European perspective of higher education.

To this end, Erasmus program encourages international cooperation between universities, provides exchange opportunities in Europe both for students and academics, assists the international accreditation of the studies to be carried out and degrees to be obtained within the framework of the program, and also fosters the transparency principle.

The European Commission is responsible for organizing and implementing the program. It supports the mobility program financially by means of awarding exchange students/academic staff with a grant that contributes to additional costs for living abroad.
