As it will not be possible for advisors to explain the whole process to each student individually, it is compulsory to attend this meeting.
Selection Criteria:
Students’ semester, department, overall grade and agreement quotas as well as academic assessment of the departments have been taken into consideration during the selection process.
According to program regulations, 50% of CGPA and 50% of the English language test score are taken into account in electing prospective Erasmus students.
Besides, before calculating the 50% of the CGPA, a coefficient is applied on the CGPA according to the applicants' department and semester information as below:
Student CGPA: 3.15
CGPA of the related department's students in the same semester with the applicant: 2.89
Ratio: 3.15/2.89 = 1.09
25*+1.09=26.09
Overall Erasmus application score: 3.15x26.09 = 82.18
*the convergent factor to calculate 50% of the CGPA = 25
In addition:
- 10 points were added to the Overall Score of the students with disabilities.
- 10 points were deduced from the Overall Score of those students who have participated in any of the Erasmus programs in the same study cycle (10 points deduced per each participation).
- 15 points was added to the overall score of the students who are the children of martyrs and veterans.
- 10 points was added to the overall score of the students who have been under protection by 2828 Social Services Law.
- 10 points was decreased from overall score of the students if they withdraw from 2018/2019 Erasmus programs (study or internship programs with European or non-European countries) after the announced deadlines.
Grant Conditions:
Students selected for this program will receive 700 Euro per month and also travel support ranging from 275-1500 Euro according to distance between Ankara and the city that they will study.
It is possible to participate in the program without grant as well.
Students with disabilities can apply for additional funds if they are placed for a university. For disabled participants, it is possible to receive additional grants to meet their specific needs. In order for the disabled participants to be given additional grants, the beneficiary higher education institution is required to request additional grants from the Turkish National Agency.
