This website has been prepared to help you make plans for and implement a study abroad program as a BİLGİ student. BİLGİ is very enthusiastic about offering its students the opportunity to spend a semester or a year at a partner university abroad as an exchange student. For this purpose, BİLGİ has been actively participating in the Erasmus Program of the European Union since 2004. BİLGİ has over 230 Erasmus exchange agreements with distinguished universities in Europe and is developing bilateral exchange agreements with universities elsewhere in the world. We are also very pleased to welcome Erasmus and other international exchange students at BİLGİ. International experiences such as participating in a study abroad program or making international friends at BİLGİ will expose you to new ideas, help you learn about different cultures and discover many common values across cultures, improve your communication and foreign language skills. All of these are valuable assets which will prepare you to be successful in a tightly interconnected world and global economy.

This website provides you with the information you need to select a university for your exchange. This may be a European university under the auspices of Erasmus, in which case you may be eligible for some financial support for your study abroad, or it may be a bilateral arrangement with a non-European university, in which case you will be responsible for your own travel and living expenses. The website provides you with the names of your department or program Erasmus coordinator,who can help you select a European university. It also contains information about the Erasmus Office which will provide you with advice about Erasmus and other exchanges and help facilitate your application and your study period.
