Erasmus+ Program

As the Department of International Trade and Business, we attach great importance to our students gaining competence not only nationally but also within the international academic arena. In line with our internationalization vision, the process of signing student mobility agreements (KA131) with prestigious higher education institutions in Europe is ongoing, and we aim to offer our students new opportunities in the near future.

Even until these partnerships are finalized, our department continues to support our students in engaging with different cultures and professional approaches.

Our Current Erasmus Partnerships

Internship Mobility

It is of great importance for our students to gain professional experience through internships abroad, expand their international networks, and observe global practices in the field of International Trade and Business firsthand.

Internship Opportunities Without an Existing Agreement:

As the Department of International Trade and Business, we support the necessary administrative and academic procedures to enable our students to carry out internships, under Erasmus+ Traineeship Mobility, at placements they have secured on their own within EU countries (universities, research centers, private sector companies, civil society organizations, etc.).

Students may benefit from the designated grant conditions once their chosen internship placement has been approved by the Erasmus Office.

For detailed information, please contact our University's Erasmus Office.
