The Erasmus+ Program enables students enrolled in higher education institutions to receive part of their education in higher education institutions abroad, which are partners owing to an inter-institutional agreement. Students who attend the program have the right to receive financial support (grant). The grants do not aim to cover all the costs of the participants but to be a contribution to their expected costs.
In order for students of the İstanbul Kültür University Faculty of Science and Letters to participate in the LLP/Erasmus+ Program, which allows for education at universities in European Union countries for one or two semesters, the equivalence of undergraduate courses with the European Union Notation Transfer System (ECTS) was established in 2001.

The cooperation between İKÜ and European Union universities has been maintained and improved through student exchanges every year since the 2004-2005 Academic Year.
Are you alone in Europe?
Our answer is No. Our students and Erasmus Coordinators are in constant contact during the time student are studying abroad in a university in the EU. The Department Erasmus Coordinator contacts the coordinator of the university in which the student is studying to solve problems such as course selection and accommodation. Our students continue to get the attention and support that they received in their department at İKÜ.
The duration of the Program can be between 3 to 12 months (1, 2 or 3 semesters depending on the systems of certain countries) which may be completed separately at each education level within the same academic year. The education level refers to associate/undergraduate, master and doctoral levels.
