Incoming Erasmus+ and Visiting Students

Erasmus+ study mobility is based on bilateral agreements between the home and the host university. Please check with your home university’s International/Erasmus Office if you have a bilateral agreement with MEF University and which study areas it covers. If your university does not have an agreement with MEF University, you can apply as a visiting student.

Erasmus+ study mobility application starts by nomination by the home institution. The nominations should be sent to international.office@mef.edu.tr or your university uses an online nomination link provided by us. Once MEF International Office has received the nomination, we send you a link to an online application.

For the online application, you will need the following documents:

• Transcript of Records from your home institution

• Scan of Passport identity page

• Passport style of a picture (.jpg format – will be used for your student ID card)

• Learning Agreement or OLA

Nomination and application deadlines:

• Fall semester: nominations by 15 June, applications by 30 June

• Spring semester: nominations by 15 November, applications by 30 November
