The Bilgi Erasmus Office is responsible for the selection of Bilgi students who will participate in the Erasmus+ Programme. It is also obliged to submit an application to the Turkish National Agency for the grant funds to be allocated to students for the upcoming academic year.

The grant allocation criteria are determined by the BİLGİ Erasmus Commission, taking into account the budget allocated to our University. The Commission has adopted the principle of providing grants to the highest possible number of students, in line with the criteria outlined below. These criteria have been established in accordance with the rules set forth in the Turkish National Agency Handbook:

• Students who qualify for a grant are provided with partial financial support.
• Grant payments are made after the student obtains their visa and signs the grant agreement with the Erasmus Office. General information regarding the grant and the programme is included in this agreement.
• Students who are not allocated a grant may, upon request, participate in Erasmus mobility as zero-grant participants.

The table below presents the individual support grant amounts applicable for students/recent graduates participating in mobility to programme countries:

In order to contribute to students’ travel expenses, the distance between the point of departure and the location where the activity takes place must be calculated using the distance calculator provided by the European Commission. The travel grant should then be determined based on the table below.

The amount corresponding to the distance band in the table represents the round-trip grant; therefore, it should not be multiplied by two.

• Students are required to successfully complete at least two-thirds (2/3) of the total credits they have taken at the partner university. If this minimum academic requirement is not met, a refund of the grant may be requested or a deduction may be applied.
• If the document submitted by the student confirming their period of study at the host institution (certificate of attendance) indicates a shorter duration than the dates stated in the acceptance letter, the right to request a refund of the difference is reserved.
• Students participating in the mobility are required to sign an agreement with BİLGİ declaring that they accept the Erasmus grant conditions. If a student fails to fulfill all the conditions set out in the Mobility Agreement, they may be required to repay the Erasmus mobility grant to BİLGİ or accept a reduction in the grant.
• Except for official holidays, semester breaks, and vacation periods unrelated to the student’s academic activities, if a student leaves the host city/country for more than one week, no grant payment will be made for the period of absence. Even if already paid, the grant corresponding to this period will be reclaimed.
• If the required documents are not submitted completely to the office after the mobility period, the remaining 20% of the grant will not be paid.

If a student returns earlier than the planned mobility period due to force majeure*, the grant will be calculated based on the actual duration of stay abroad and paid accordingly. If an excess payment has been made, the surplus amount will be reclaimed. As stated in the General Call for Proposals published by the European Commission, student mobility for studies must last a minimum of 2 months. This minimum duration cannot be reduced except in cases of force majeure. If the mobility duration is shorter than the minimum period, no grant payment will be made for the mobility.

*Force majeure refers to any exceptional and unforeseeable situation or event beyond the control of the parties, which is not attributable to error or negligence on the part of the parties, their subcontractors, affiliated entities, or third parties involved in the implementation, and which could not have been avoided despite exercising all due diligence. Failure to provide a service, defects in equipment or materials, or delays in making them available cannot be considered force majeure unless they directly result from a force majeure situation. Similarly, labor disputes, strikes, or financial difficulties shall not be regarded as force majeure.

Support will be provided for students and staff benefiting from mobility activities in higher education through the European Commission’s institutional learning management platform called “EU Academy.” This system will gradually offer language learning services in all 29 official languages of the EU Member States and countries associated with the Erasmus+ and ESC programmes.

For KA131 students and recent graduates, the requirement to take a language assessment test prior to the start of their mobility in order to determine their level has been abolished. However, although it is no longer mandatory, participants are expected to be encouraged to use the EU Academy platform.

VISA

• The student is responsible for obtaining the most up-to-date information regarding visa procedures, completing all required documents, and applying for any necessary visa and residence permits. The student shall apply for a student visa at the consulate or authorized visa service provider of the destination country. All related expenses shall be covered by the student.
• All documents related to the university are obtained by the student from the relevant units of the university. The only document that the Erasmus Office will provide to support your visa application is the visa grant letter. This document can be obtained provided that you submit to our office all required documents that must be completed before your departure to the host institution.

INSURANCE

• Students must have a comprehensive health insurance policy valid in the country where they plan to study. The insurance must cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment for the entire duration of the stay abroad, with a minimum coverage of 30,000 EUR, and must be arranged before leaving Türkiye. All costs related to the insurance policy are the responsibility of the student. Students are required to submit a copy of their full-coverage health insurance policy (inpatient and outpatient) to our office by the specified deadline.

ACCOMMODATION

• Students are required to contact the Erasmus Office of the host university regarding accommodation options (dormitory, apartment, etc.).
• The partner university is responsible for assisting students with accommodation, provided that the student complies with all relevant deadlines and requirements.
