Students must submit their application online between 4-23 December 2020: ONLINE APPLICATION PLATFORM-https://student.metu.edu.tr/ (#405 Erasmus+ ICM (Avrupa Dışı) (the link will be active in the application period)

English Proficiency Exam for Exchange Programs (EPEEP)

No additional application is required for the English Proficiency Exam on 26 December 2020.

***For 2021-2022 Erasmus+ KA107 Outgoing Applications, EPEEP will be held online. Details will be announced later.

 It is obligatory to take EPEEP for ICM applicants (no other exam result is accepted); if students do not take the EPEEP or apply with a previous and valid score, their Erasmus+ applications will not be valid.  

 It is obligatory to have a valid English score from an exam organized by METU to complete the application. The valid score can be one of the following options:

1-You can take English Proficiency Exam for Mobility Programs (EPEEP) which will be organized on 26 December 2020. If you would like to take this exam, you should choose this option in the online application form. If you choose this option, you cannot use any other exam scores. If you do not attend the exam, your application for mobility program will be invalid. For the students who choose this option in the online application form, no additional application is required for the English Proficiency Exam on 26 December 2020. The details about the online exam (venue & hour) will be announced later.

2-If you had English Proficiency Exam for Mobility Programs (EPEEP) or English Proficiency Exam (EPE) in the last 2 years, you can also use these exam results. EPEEP and EPE are valid for 2 consecutive years and students who have taken the exam in the previous 2 years may apply with a previous score. This needs to be indicated in the online application form. Among these scores, the highest one will be taken. The students who choose this option will not be able to take the English Proficiency Exam for Mobility Programs (EPEEP) that will be organized on 26 December 2020.

Students are allowed to take the EPEEP only once every academic year and those who have already taken the EPEEP in the same academic year for another exchange program will not be able to take the exam again. Thus, students who take this exam will not be able to take the English Proficiency Exam (in March 2021) for Erasmus+ European Mobility Program applications.

Students who choose the first option and are not able to enter the exam due to a valid excuse (e.g medical report) should submit a petition explaining their excuse to the International Cooperations Office. 

The exams are organized by the Department of Basic English. Only the students who submit their application to ICO will take the exam and the details of the exam will be announced later. 

PARTNER UNIVERSITIES:

At most 4 universities can be chosen. 

***Please bear in mind that because of Covid19 pandemic, the list of partner universities may be changed in accordance with the information provided by partner universities. 

 List of partner universities and country quotas can be seen HERE (the link will be active during the application period).

Partner university fact sheets can be seen HERE (the link will be active during the application period).

It is of utmost importance to consult departmental exchange programs coordinator about the university choices. List for departmental exchange programs coordinators can be found in: http://ico.metu.edu.tr/departmental-coordinators

Online applications will be reviewed by Departmental Erasmus+/Exchange Coordinators. The Coordinators are authorized to decline the applications of the students if they do not approve the universities or the academic background/status of the students. To learn more about the departmental restrictions, you can check the website below (an appointment with the coordinator is still advised): http://ico.metu.edu.tr/departments-restrictions-outgoing-students-0

 

Students must be sure that the university they applied to offers education on their level and in a relevant department. Availability of a university in the list does not imply that the said university offers education in all the departments and on all levels of education.

Student can only apply for their current level of education. Undergraduate students cannot apply for a master or PhD level program. But after being selected for the program, it is possible to take courses on different levels providing that METU and the host university approve of it. 

Host university can demand student’s transcript in order to track student’s academic status and success, and this can affect the acceptance process.

During application, an internationally recognized language proficiency exam grade is not required by International Cooperations Office. However, partner universities may require a language proficiency exam grade document for their language of education (TOEFL, IELTS, etc.). It is not possible for the student to study in a university if they cannot meet the language requirement for the said university. Since language proficiency requirements differ among universities, it is necessary to check the university’s website for the language requirements before application and to make sure the language requirements can be fulfilled/documented before the deadline.

***Agreements within the framework of Erasmus+ ICM Porgram are generally established as “all departments”. This means that all students can apply, and no one is given priority over the others, unless stated otherwise in the “Restrictions” section of the agreement list in the announcement. However, before applying for those universities, please make sure that there is a department (or at least courses) at the partner university corresponding to your department and level at METU. The fact that you are given the chance to apply for such universities does not guarantee that the university accepts you. The applicants are required to check the conditions of the partner universities (i.e. medium of instruction, language requirement, academic calendar, accommodation opportunities etc.) before submitting their applications. 

E.g. :

X University

Application criteria: CGPA: 3,00/4,00

Student placed in X University CGPA: 2,90/4,00

In this case, even if you are placed in X University, which requires min CGPA to be 3,00/4,00  for UG, you may not be accepted to the university since your CGPA is less than 3,00/4,00. For this reason, students must check the university list announced by ICO, and the websites of the universities.

 

SELECTION CRITERIA:

50% of CGPA and 50% of the English language test score are taken into account in electing prospective Exchange students.

In order to calculate 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

Average CGPA of the same department & semester: 2.89

Ratio: 3.15 / 2.89 = 1.09

25(*) + 1.09=26.09

Overall Score: 3.15 x 26.09 = 82.18

(*) the convergent factor to calculate 50% of the CGPA = 25

 

• 10 additional points will be added to overall score of the applicants with disabilities (approved by medical report). Medical reports concerning their disability must be submitted to the online application system during the application period. 
• 15 points will be added to the overall score of the applicants who are the children of martyries and veterans. The proving documents must be submitted to the online application system during the application period.
• 10 points will be added to the overall score of the applicants who have been under protection by 2828 Social Services Law. The proving documents must be submitted to the online application system during the application period.

• It is possible to benefit from the Erasmus+ Programs (Erasmus European Study, Erasmus Traineeship, Erasmus+ Non-European ICM) more than once. Students can participate in the programs up to 12 months for each level of study (UG, MS, PhD). However, 10 points will be deduced from the overall grade of the students who have benefited from any of the above programs before within the same study level. Previous participation in the program in different study levels does not cause any deduction in the overall grade.

• 10 points will be deduced from the overall grade of the students who have withdrawn from the program after the announced deadline for the previous Erasmus+ Program Applications (European or non-European).

 

GRANT & EXPENSES:

Students selected for this program with Erasmus+ grant will receive 700 Euro per month (same for all countries) and also travel support ranging from 275-1500 Euro according to distance between Ankara and the city that they will study:

 https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/resources/distance-calculator_en

 Erasmus+ ICM  grant is allocated according to each country’s quotas. Available grants are shown in the partner university and country quotas list above.

Even if there are more than one partner universities in a specific country, in the allocation of grants "quota per country" will be considered.

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.

3)    https://ec.europa.eu/info/live-work-travel-eu/health/coronavirus-response/travel-and-transportation-during-coronavirus-pandemic_en

4)    https://reopen.europa.eu/en/map/ESP

Yerleştirme sonuçlarına itiraz etmek isteyen öğrenciler 31 Temmuz 2020 tarihine kadar Uluslararası İşbirliği Ofisi'ne bir dilekçe yazarak e-mail yoluyla europeanmobility@metu.edu.tr adresine başvurabilirler. Dilekçede belirtilen e-posta iletişim adresine UIO tarafından 10.08.2020 tarihine kadar geri dönüş yapılacaktır.

2)      HİBELER

Hibe alabilecek öğrenci sayısı üniversitemize Türkiye Ulusal Ajansı tarafından tahsis edilen bütçe miktarına göre “365” olarak belirlenmiştir. Detaylar Liste1’de yer almaktadır.

Öğrenciler “overall” puanlarına göre “hibeli asil liste” ve “hibesiz yedek liste” olmak üzere belirlenmiştir. “Hibeli asil listeden” çekilen öğrenciler oldukça; hibe yine overall puan sırasına göre “hibesiz yedek listedeki” öğrencilere tahsis edilecektir.

3)      FAALİYETTEN YARARLANMA DÖNEMİ

Yukarıdaki listede (Liste1) öğrencilerimizin Erasmus’a katılmak üzere seçtikleri dönemler belirtilmiştir. Ancak yaşanan pandemi nedeniyle, sizlere sunulan dönem tercihleri 2020-2021 Sonbahar dönemi, 2020-2021 Bahar dönemi ve 2021-2022 Sonbahar dönemi şeklinde olabilecektir. Dönem tercihlerinizi bildirmek üzere https://forms.gle/ngTDpYNwnAY6nujA8  formunu 03.08.2020 ye kadar doldurmanız gerekmektedir. Ancak, çok sayıda öğrencinin 2020-2021 Bahar dönemi  tercih etmesi / üniversitelerin ilgili dönemde kotaları azaltması/ ilgili dönemin son başvuru tarihi geçmiş olması  vb. durumlarda dönem tercihleri öğrencilerin overall puanlarına göre  belirlenebilecektir.

Uluslararası İşbirliği Ofisi’ndeki (UİO) danışmanlar, öğrencilerin isimlerini karşı üniversitelere bu dönem tercihlerine göre bildireceklerdir.

4)      YERLEŞTİRME KRİTERLERİ

Yerleştirme, başvuran öğrencilerin dönemi, bölümü, toplam puanı, anlaşma kontenjanları ve bölümlerin akademik değerlendirmeleri dikkate alınarak yapılmıştır. Başvuran öğrencilerin toplam (overall) puanı aşağıdaki şekilde hesaplanmıştır:

 Erasmus+ yerleştirmeleri %50 CGPA ve %50 DPİYS veya İYS dikkate alınarak yapılmaktadır.

Ancak öğrencinin ağırlıklı not ortalaması belirlenirken, kümülatif not ortalaması (CGPA), kendi bölümündeki ve dönemindeki diğer öğrencilerin kümülatif not ortalamasına oranlanır. Örnek:

Öğrencinin Erasmus İngilizce Yeterlik Sınavı: 80 Öğrencinin not ortalaması: 3.15 İlgili bölümün ve dönemin öğrencilerinin CPGA: 2.89 Oran: 3.15/2.89 = 1.09 25*+1.09=26.09 Erasmus başvurusu icin kullanılacak puan : 3.15x26.09 = 82.18 olarak belirlenir. Overall Puan= ( 82.18*0.5) + ( 80*0.5)=  81.09 *%50 ortalama almak için kullanılan not dönüştürme katsayısı=25

Ayrica, Turkiye Ulusal Ajansi'nin belirlediği program kurallari gereği;

·  Daha önce aynı öğrenim seviyesinde Erasmus programından (öğrenim, ICM ve/veya staj) yararlandığını beyan etmiş olan öğrencilerin “overall” puanlarından her bir katılım için 10 puan kesinti yapılmıştır

·   2019-2020 Akademik yılında Erasmus+ Öğrenim, Erasmus Staj ve Erasmus ICM programlarına  yerleştirilen, ancak mücbir bir sebebe dayanmaksızın kendilerine verilmiş olan süre içerisinde programdan çekilmeyen öğrencilerden de 10 puan kesinti yapılmıştır

·   2020-2021 akademik yılı Erasmus+ ICM programına seçilen öğrencilerden 10 puan kesintisi yapılmıştır

·   2020-2021 Akademik Yılı için Erasmus programına da başvuru yapmış ve önceliğini Erasmus Öğrenim programına vermiş olan öğrencilerden 10 puan kesinti yapılmıştır

·   2828 sayılı Sosyal Hizmetler Kanunu kapsamında hakkında koruma kararı olan öğrencilere 10 puan eklenmiştir

·   Engelli belgesini başvuru sistemine yükleyen öğrencilerin “overall” puanları 10 puan artırılmıştır.

·   Şehit ve Gazi yakınlığı belgesini başvuru sistemine yüklemiş olan  öğrencilerin “overall” puanları ise 15 puan arttırılmıştır.

5)      YERLEŞTİRME SONRASI SÜREÇ

Hem hibeli hem hibesiz öğrenciler için tüm bu işlemler zorunludur!!!!

Öğrencilerin ilk aşamada yapması gereken işlemler https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dhOU-c8eBmm8HSw63IvS0Ju7mP6Lv8SS/view?usp=sharing linkindeki kısa videoda anlatılmıştır.

ÖNEMLİ HATIRLATMALAR

1) Erasmus Değişim Programı öncesi (Learning Agreement (LA) Before the Mobility) en az 30 ECTS almak zorunludur. Erasmus Değişim Programı sonunda, başlangıçta alınmış olan 30 ECTS’den az 20 ECTS krediden başarılı olmayan öğrencilerin toplam hibelerinin %20’si ödenmez.

2) Erasmus Değişim Programı dönüşünde karşı üniversitede alınan derslerden başarılı olunan derslerin ODTÜ’de saydırılması gerekmektedir.

3) Yerleştirilmiş olduğunuz üniversitenin başvurusuna ilişkin ders seçimi, eğitim dili, ECTS kredileri gibi detayları ilgili üniversitelerin web sayfalarından kontrol ediniz. Yerleştirildiğiniz üniversite ile anlaşmamız olması; bu üniversitenin eğitim dilinin İngilizce olduğu anlamına gelmemektedir.

Program kuralları gereği Erasmus Öğrenim programına katılmaktan vazgeçmiş olan öğrencilerin kararlarını mümkün olan en kısa sürede ofis danışmanlarına bildirmeleri GEREKMEKTEDİR.

https://ec.europa.eu/info/live-work-travel-eu/health/coronavirus-response/travel-and-transportation-during-coronavirus-pandemic_en

https://reopen.europa.eu/en/map/ESP

If you would like to object to selection results, you should email a scanned petition to International Cooperations Office (europeanmobility@metu.edu.tr) until July 31, 2020. ICO will respond to the petition until August 10, 2020  thorugh the e-mail address indicated in the petition.

2)      GRANT RESULTS

Based on Turkish National Agency’s grant results, first 365 students will get the grant in the list. Based on overall grades, two lists is announced namely, “main list students with grant” or “waiting list students without grant”. When students from the “main list” withdraw from the program, the grant will be given the students on the “waiting list” based on their overall grades.

3)      SEMESTER CHOICE

In the list above, the semester preferences of the students are also published (List 1). However, due to the pandemic experienced, the period choices offered will be  2020-2021 Fall Semester , 2020-2021 Spring Semester  and 2021-2022 Fall Semester. For this purpose please fill in the form https://forms.gle/ngTDpYNwnAY6nujA8  until 03.08.2020.  However, your semester choices may change due to the fact that if a large number of students prefer the 2020-2021 Spring semester, the host university will cancel the 2020-2021 Fall semester, the host university may put quota limitations etc. In such cases, priority will be given  based on  overall score of the students. 

As International Cooperations Office advisors will nominate the students according to these preferences, it is crucial to decide on which semester students would like to participate in the program.

4)      SELECTION CRITERIA

Students’ department, overall grade and agreement quotas and agreement specifications (Agreement details) as well as academic assessment of the departments have been taken into consideration during the selection process. Overall scores were calculated as follows:

According to the regulations of the Turkish National Agency, 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 English Proficency Score: 80

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

Erasmus application score: 3.15x26.09 = 82.18

Overall Score of the Student: ( 82.18*0.5) + ( 80*0.5)=  81.09

*the convergent factor to calculate 50% of the CGPA = 25

·         10 points will be decreased from the overall score of the students for each participation of the Erasmus KA103/ Erasmus Traineeship and Erasmus KA107 in the same study cycle.

·         10 points will be decreased from overall score of the students if they withdraw from 2019-2020 Erasmus program (study or internship programs with European or non-European countries ) after the announced deadlines.

·         10 points will be decreased from the overall score of the students who have been selected for Erasmus KA107 for 2020-2021 academic year.

·         The students who apply for both Erasmus student and traineeship mobility will be expected to give priority to one of their choices. The preference will be indicated during the online application. 10 points will be decreased from the choice that is not prioritized.

 

·         15 points will be added to the overall score of the students who are  the childrens of martyries and veterans. The proving documents must be submitted to the online application system during the application period.

·         10 points will be added to the overall score of students with disabilities. The proving documents must be submitted to the online application system during the application period.

·         10 points will be added to the overall score of the students who are who have been under protection by 2828  Social Services Law. The proving documents must be submitted to the online application system during the application period.

 

5)      PROCEDURES AFTER SELECTİON:

 These procedures are valid for both students with and without grant!!!

You can watch the short video about the procedures: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dhOU-c8eBmm8HSw63IvS0Ju7mP6Lv8SS/view?usp=sharing

COVID19SSS

Sevgili öğrenciler,

Koronavirüs nedeni ile tüm dünyada yaşanan gelişmeler ışığında Yüksek Öğretim Kurulu Başkanlığı'nın 13 Mart 2020 tarihli  duyurusunun 4. maddesi (https://www.yok.gov.tr/Sayfalar/Haberler/2020/coronavirus_bilgilendirme_...) ve Türkiye Ulusal Ajansı'nın 23 Mart 2020 tarihli duyurusuna istinaden ikinci bir duyuruya kadar tüm akademik değişim programları durdurulmuş, bu nedenle 3-26 Şubat 2020 tarihleri arasında başvurusu alınmış olan 2020-2021 akademik yılı Avrupa içi Öğrenim ve Staj Programlarının sonuçlarının açıklanması ileri bir tarihe ertelenmiştir. 

Elimizde olmayan gelişmelerden ötürü sonuç duyurularını ertelemek zorunda kaldığımız için üzgün olduğumuzu belirtmek isteriz.

------------------------------------------------ 

Dear students,

In the light of latest news about Coronavirus outbreak worldwide, based on Higher Education Council’s announcement of March 13,2020 (https://www.yok.gov.tr/sayfalar/haberler/2020/coronavirus_bilgilendirme_...) and 

Turkish  National Agency’s annoucement of March 23, 2020, all academic exchange programs were stopped until a second announcement, therefore, announcement of the results of the 2020-2021 academic year European Mobility and Traineeship Programs have been postponed. 

 

We are sorry that we have to postpone the announcement for compelling reasons.

Dear students,

Below, you can find "Frequently Asked Questions"  (FAQ) regarding your semester and grant issues at Middle East Technical University.

COVID19FQA

Results of English Proficiency Exam for Erasmus Student Mobility and Erasmus Traineeship  which was held on February 29, 2020 can be found in this link. 

At this point there is nothing that applicants should do. Selection results will be announced on April 1, 2020.

Please bear in mind that if you did not participate to the exam without a valid excuse as explained in the application announcements , your Erasmus application will be invalid.

University wide applications for Turkish Higher Education Council’s (HEC) Mevlana Program Student Mobility will be taken between February 18- March 6, 2020. Related board decision can be seen here.

Students must submit the application form to International Cooperations Office (ICO) until March 6, 2020 with required signatures.  

1. APPLICATION CRITERIA

Students can apply for Mevlana Program only if:

- CGPA is at least 2.50 as of the application deadline (undergraduate level)

- CGPA is at least 3.00 as of the application deadline (graduate level)

The student must have completed at least 1 semester in the program they are enrolled in. During the application, the student must have a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) in the program they are enrolled in and must be continuing their education on the same level of education in the following year.

Students that are studying in Basic English Department and  Scientific Prepariton program cannot apply to the program due to the fact that they do not have a cumulative grade point average (CGPA).

Please bear in mind that applicants are expected to have METU course load of minimum 30 ECTS / around 5 courses for the semester in which s/he plans to participate Mevlana Programme and take 30 ECTS / around 5 courses at the host University. Students are also expected to make sure that these courses will be recognized by their departments upon successfully completion.

2. ENGLISH PROFICIENCY EXAM (EPPEP)

It is obligatory to take EPEEP for Mevlana Program applicants.

English Proficiency Exam (EPEEP): 7 March 2020 (No additional application is required for the English Proficiency Exam)

It is obligatory to have a valid English score from an exam organized by METU to complete the application. The valid score can be one of the following options:

1-You can take English Proficiency Exam for Mobility Programs (EPEEP) which will be organized on 07 March 2020. If you would like to take this exam, you should choose this option in the online application form. If you choose this option, you cannot use any other exam scores. If you do not attend the exam, your application for mobility program will be invalid. For the students who choose this option in the online application form, no additional application is required for the English Proficiency Exam on 06 March 2020. The details about the exam (venue & hour) will be announced later.

2-If you had English Proficiency Exam for Mobility Programs (EPEEP) or English Proficiency Exam (EPE) in the last 2 years, you can also use these exam results. EPEEP and EPE are valid for 2 consecutive years and students who have taken the exam in the previous 2 years may apply with a previous score. This needs to be indicated in the online application form. Among these scores, the highest one will be taken. The students who choose this option will not be able to take the English Proficiency Exam for Mobility Programs (EPEEP) that will be organized on 07 March 2020.

Students are allowed to take the EPEEP only once every academic year and those who have already taken the EPEEP in the same academic year for another exchange program will not be able to take the exam again. Thus, students who take exam  on 7 December 2019 or 29 February 2020 will not be able to take the English Proficiency Exam on 07 March 2020  for Erasmus+ European Mobility Program applications.

Students who choose the first option and are not able to enter the exam due to a valid excuse (e.g medical report) should submit a petition explaining their excuse to the International Cooperations Office.

The exams are organized by the Department of Basic English.

Only the students who submit their application to ICO will take the exam and the place of the exam will be announced later.

3. PARTNER UNIVERSITIES

List of partner universities and country quotas can be seen HERE. 

At most 4 universities can be chosen.

It is of utmost importance to consult departmental exchange programs coordinator about the university choices. List for departmental exchange programs coordinators can be found in: http://ico.metu.edu.tr/departmental-coordinators 

Students must be sure that the university they applied to offers education on their level and in a relevant department. Availability of a university in the list does not imply that the said university offers education in all the departments and on all levels of education.

It is also important to note that there are restrictions for each country determined by Turkish Higher Education Council. Students need to comply with these restrictions.

Student can only apply for their current level of education. Undergraduate students cannot apply for a master or PhD level program. But after being selected for the program, it is possible to take courses on different levels providing that METU and the host university approve of it.

Host university can demand student’s transcript in order to track student’s academic status and success, and this can affect the acceptance process. Partner universities holds the right not to extend partnerships for 2020-2021 Academic Year or not to accept applicants.

During application, an internationally recognized language proficiency exam grade is not required by International Cooperations Office. However, partner universities may require a language proficiency exam grade document for their language of education (TOEFL, IELTS, etc.). It is not possible for the student to study in a university if they cannot meet the language requirement for the said university. Since language proficiency requirements differ among universities, it is necessary to check the university’s website for the language requirements before application and to make sure the language requirements can be fulfilled/documented before the deadline.

In addition to language, there may be further restrictions, it is the student’s responsibility to check university websites and information sheets.

 

4. SELECTION CRITERIA

CGPA and English Proficiency Exam score are taken into account in electing prospective Mevlana Program students. Weighted CGPA is calculated for each applicant depending on the average CGPA in his/her departmental cohort.

In order to calculate 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

Average CGPA of the same department & semester: 2.89

Ratio: 3.15 / 2.89 = 1.09

25(*) + 1.09=26.09

Overall Score: 3.15 x 26.09 = 82.18

(*) the convergent factor to calculate 50% of the CGPA = 25

• Applicants with disabilities (approved by medical report) get 10 additional points. Medical reports concerning their disability must be submitted to International Cooperations Office before the application deadline.
• 10 points will be deduced from the overall grade of the students who have benefited from the Mevlana Program before within the same study level. Previous participation in the program in different study levels does not cause any deduction in the overall grade.
• 10 points will be deduced from the overall grade of the students who have withdrawn from the program after the announced deadline for the previous Mevlana Program Applications.
• In their future Mevlana program applications, 10 points will be deduced from the students who withdraw from the Program after the deadline (which will be announced in the application results) without a force major reason.
• 10 points will be added to the overall score of the students who have been under protection by 2828 Social Services Law. The proving documents must be submitted to International Cooperations Office before the application deadline.
• 15 points will be added to the overall score of the students who are the relatives of martyries and veterans. The proving documents must be submitted to International Cooperations Office before the application deadline.
