Okan University Erasmus+ exchange for international students

Study in Turkiye provides this practical operational checklist to help recruiters, admissions teams and placement partners pursue Erasmus+ incoming mobility at Okan University when institutional pages are not available in our internal resources. Use this step-by-step guide to verify eligibility, nominations and operational compliance directly with Okan University’s International Relations / Erasmus+ office.

Why confirm directly with Okan University

• Erasmus+ agreements, quotas and partner lists change annually — confirm with the International Relations/Erasmus+ office for the latest partner institutions, nomination deadlines and mobility windows.
• Institutional details such as language of instruction, course catalogs and ECTS equivalencies must be validated for academic recognition and transcript preparation.

Essential items to verify with Okan’s International Relations / Erasmus+ office

• Current Erasmus+ bilateral agreements and eligible partner universities by country and faculty.
• Annual Erasmus+ quotas (incoming and outgoing) and allocation method.
• Nomination and application deadlines for each mobility period (semester/academic year).
• Required documents for nomination and application (Learning Agreement, transcript, passport copy, passport photo, language certificate).
• Contact person (email, phone) and preferred format for nominations.
• ECTS conversion and transcript issuance timeline.
• Language of instruction for courses and availability of courses in English.
• Orientation, mentoring and student support services for incoming Erasmus+ students.
• Accommodation support (university dorms vs. private options) and cost estimates.
• Health insurance requirements and Erasmus+ insurance grant procedures.
• Grading scale and recognition policy for home institution credit transfer.
• Procedures for mid-term and final evaluations, and issuing the Transcript of Records.

Erasmus+ exchange fundamentals for international students in Turkiye

Academic framework & recognition

• Learning Agreement: Ensure it is completed and signed before mobility begins. It defines course selections and credit recognition by the home institution.
• ECTS: Verify how the host institution maps course credits to ECTS and the impact on degree progress.
• Transcript of Records: Confirm the deadline for issuance after mobility ends — typically within five weeks — so home institutions can finalize credit transfer.

Language and placement testing

• Confirm whether courses are taught in English, Turkish or both. For English programs, request minimum language requirements or accepted certificates (e.g., TOEFL, IELTS) and whether internal placement tests are available.
• If students require Turkish language preparation, verify whether short-term language courses or pre-arrival modules are offered.

Grants, insurance and finance

• Erasmus+ grant eligibility: Verify whether incoming students are eligible and the disbursement schedule.
• Health/accident insurance: Confirm required coverage and if the host institution enforces additional local insurance.
• Additional costs: Estimate living costs, dorm fees and registration costs so recruiters can present clear budgets to candidates.

Practical logistics for incoming Erasmus+ students

Pre-departure checklist for students

• Confirm acceptance and nomination status; receive and sign the Learning Agreement.
• Apply for any required visa or residence permit (Schengen rules do not apply to Turkiye; check local consulate procedures).
• Secure health insurance and obtain any necessary vaccinations.
• Book accommodation: university dorms vs. private housing; collect advice on neighbourhoods from the receiving university.
• Budget for departure and arrival expenses, local transport and monthly living costs.

On-arrival checklist

• Attend university orientation and Erasmus+ specific sessions.
• Register with the International Office and obtain student ID and campus access.
• Meet the Erasmus+ coordinator to confirm course enrolment and any Learning Agreement updates.
• Open a local bank account (if needed) and register local contact details.

Post-mobility checklist

• Ensure the Transcript of Records is issued and sent to the home institution.
• Complete Erasmus+ surveys and final reports if requested.
• Arrange credit recognition with the home university according to the Learning Agreement.

How international recruiters, admissions teams and agencies should evaluate Erasmus+ partnerships

Evaluation criteria for institutional partnerships

• Strategic fit: Do academic strengths align with target student demand and program portfolios?
• Mobility volume and predictability: Does the partner provide consistent quotas and timely administration?
• Student support services: Are orientation, counselling and housing support adequate?
• Language and course availability: Are sufficient English- or internationally accessible courses offered?
• Administrative transparency: Is the partner responsive and are nomination/application processes documented?

Contracting and risk management

• Consider Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) that specify mobility quotas, nomination timelines and responsibilities for student support.
• Include data-exchange protocols to enable efficient transfer of nominations and student records where possible.
• Establish escalation points and service-level agreements (SLAs) with partner International Offices.

• Build clear information pages for each partner university on your website that replicate the clarity needed for Erasmus+ candidates: quotas, deadlines, course lists, costs.
• Use targeted campaigns for specific faculties (e.g., engineering, health sciences) and highlight partner institutions with strong offerings in those fields; link to the relevant Study in Turkiye profile pages.
• Train admissions staff on Erasmus+ processes, common student questions, and how to use Learning Agreements to avoid misunderstandings about credit recognition.
• Maintain an updated partner contact list and SLA schedule. Frequent brief check-ins with partner International Offices reduce last-minute problems.
