International Cooperations
Thanks to the joint educational activities carried out within the scope of Erasmus, various courses, laboratory, and workshop studies are conducted in parallel and in coordination with our partner schools, allowing a wider range of students to benefit. Within this scope, numerous workshops and joint courses are conducted both domestically and internationally.
Erasmus collaborations are considered an integral part of bringing our graduate architecture programs to an international level, together with our students and faculty members, and it is aimed to be an opportunity that all of our students can benefit from.
The cooperation between our university and the European Union universities with which we have agreements began in the 2004-2005 academic year and has continued to develop each year through student exchanges.
The duration of activities, which must be completed within the same academic year, can range from 3 to 12 months (1, 2, or 3 terms depending on the system of some countries), with each learning level having its own specific time frame. Learning levels include associate/bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees.
Within the framework of Erasmus Teaching Staff Mobility, faculty members from partner schools come to our department to give lectures and conferences related to their subjects and to establish connections. Similarly, our faculty members give lectures and conduct research at partner schools. As a result, the content of our architecture programs is significantly enriched.
