Kadir Has University Erasmus+ exchange — program overview

Kadir Has University participates in the Erasmus+ exchange program, enabling outgoing student mobility to European partner institutions. The program supports study periods that are typically a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 12 months, with possible fall-to-spring extensions depending on quota and budget availability.

Key program features:

• Students remain registered at Kadir Has University while studying abroad.
• Academic progress is preserved through a structured course equivalency and recognition process.
• Mobility requires Learning Agreements, documentation before departure and after mobility reporting.

Who can apply — eligibility and selection criteria

Eligibility basics:

• Students must have completed at least one academic year at Kadir Has University (preparatory year excluded).
• A minimum GPA is normally required — typically 2.50 / 4.00 or higher.
• English language ability: recognized English exam scores (e.g., TOEFL, YDS) taken within the last five years are commonly accepted.

Selection methodology:

• The selection process uses a combined scoring system: 50% academic success (GPA) + 50% language proficiency.
• Final lists are communicated in writing via e-mail and posted on the university’s announcement channels.
• Placement with an Erasmus+ partner does not equal automatic acceptance — confirmation from the host university is required.

Application process — step-by-step for students and institutional partners

A clear, repeatable application workflow helps admissions teams, agents and HR professionals guide candidates effectively.

Step 1 — Student preparation:

• Verify eligibility (year completed, GPA, language scores).
• Gather necessary documents: transcripts, ID, language certificates.

Step 2 — Online application entry:

• Applications are submitted through both the e-Devlet system and the MyKhas portal.
• Ensure candidates complete both platforms by stated deadlines.

Step 3 — Departmental review and ranking:

• Academic units and departmental Erasmus coordinators review candidates.
• Selection is made based on the combined scoring model (GPA + language).

Step 4 — Notification and host confirmation:

• Results are communicated via e-mail and announcements.
• Students must obtain final acceptance from the host institution — this is a separate confirmation.

Step 5 — Pre-departure formalities:

• Prepare and sign the Learning Agreement (three-party approval: home department, student, host institution).
• Complete administrative approvals and secure travel/insurance.

Step 6 — Reporting during and after mobility:

• While abroad, students may need to request course changes via an updated Learning Agreement.
• After mobility, submit Certificate of Attendance, host transcript, completed “After Mobility” Learning Agreement section, and complete required online surveys and the OLS language test.

Documentation, Learning Agreement and course recognition

A robust academic recognition process is central to protecting the student journey and ensuring credit transferability.

Learning Agreement — planning mobility outcomes:

• The Learning Agreement lists courses to be taken at the host institution and must be approved by the Departmental Erasmus Coordinator before departure.
• If the student needs to change courses while on mobility, an updated Learning Agreement must be approved by all parties.

During mobility — administration and obligations:

• Students continue to renew registration and pay tuition fees at Kadir Has University throughout their exchange period.
• Maintain communication with departmental contacts and the Erasmus and Exchange Office to manage any mid-mobility changes.

After mobility — evidence and recognition:

• Upon return, students must submit a Certificate of Attendance and the completed “After Mobility” section of the Learning Agreement.
• Provide an official transcript from the host institution.
• Complete mandatory online surveys and the OLS language assessment.
• The Erasmus and Exchange Office will then process transcripts and apply standardized course equivalency procedures so students’ academic progression at Kadir Has University continues without disruption.
