Student Mobility has two sub-activity:
· Erasmus Student Study Mobility
· Erasmus Student Internship Mobility
Students enrolled in a higher education institution that has an Erasmus University Declaration (EÜB) that provides formal education in Turkey with Erasmus Student Mobility for Education and have the opportunity to receive financial support for the period of their stay abroad within the scope of the program. The financial support given will not be demanded back, and it is not intended to cover all the expenses of the students, but only to help with the additional expenses arising from the mobility. Selected students can become Erasmus students as "Non-grant Erasmus students" if they wish.
Erasmus Student Internship Mobility, on the other hand, is the process of obtaining vocational training and/or gaining work experience in a business or organization abroad for the student registered in a higher education institution. With Erasmus internship mobility, the student gains practical work experience in the field of vocational education in a European country.
Many of our students from our department benefit from internship and/or learning activities within the scope of Erasmus each semester. You can access general information about Toros University Erasmus program with link below;
