OUTGOING STUDENTS
Although the Erasmus program has fully started covering all of the universities that has an Erasmus University Charter by the academic year 2004- 2005, in Turkey; for the academic year 2003- 2004, METU was one of the 15 universities who were awarded to participate in the Erasmus pilot project in Turkey.
Students who participate in the Erasmus Program will continue to pay tuition fees at their Home University; but will be exempted from tuition at the host university where they will spend their semester/ year abroad. Furthermore, students will continue to receive the scholarships, grants and loans as if they are in Turkey. Besides, they are eligible for the "Erasmus student mobility grant" provided by the European Commission through Turkish National Agency. The whole amount per year will be paid in two installments. However, it should be taken into consideration that all other expenses including travel expenses between Turkey and host country, living expenses including accommodation etc. belong to the student.
*Please note that Erasmus students ideally should take 30 ECTS Credits per semester however they are free to take between 20 and 30 ECTS credits and should pass at least 20 ECTS Credits. Students who can not fulfill this condition may be asked to refund the "student mobility grant" that they received during their Erasmus mobility period.
Application Criteria:
• The applicant students must be citizens of either one of the 27 member states of the European Union (EU), the 3 EEA (European Economic Area) countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) or Turkey.

• The applicants should have an intermediate language level of the receiving institution.

The date and venue will be announced later. The students who will not be able to enter the exam should submit a petition stating their valid reasons to the Study Abroad Office.

Students with severe disabilities in Erasmus:
To ensure that students with severe disabilities can take full advantage of the European mobility arrangements, the Erasmus programme pays particular attention to guidance, reception, physical accessibility, pedagogical and technical support services, and, especially, financing of the extra costs.
This means that Erasmus grant of students with severe disabilities is higher than the normal study grant to offset the specific difficulties with which you are faced (such as physical access and the organisation and content of teaching).
For the grant application a form describing your disability, the special needs and additional requirements it entails should have to be filled in, as well as a detailed cost estimate of the financial support you will need. Your application should include a medical certificate stating the level of disability, acknowledged by a doctor. For more information, please get in contact with our office.
