Minimum CGPA requirement for Application
Undergraduate students who are considering applying for the Erasmus program should have at least 2,5 CGPA and graduate students should have at least 3,0 CGPA over 4,0.
English Proficiency Exam for Exchange Programs (EPEEP)
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 13 March 2021. 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 the 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 13 March 2021. 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.

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 School of Foreign Languages.
