BİLGİ provides its students with an opportunity to live and study in Europe in order to broaden their educational and cultural horizons under the framework of the Erasmus+ Program, through more than 250 agreements with partner universities. For this purpose, many BİLGİ departments have established Erasmus partnerships with their counterparts at numerous distinguished European universities.
