Prepared by the Centre for EU Education and
Youth Programmes (Turkish National Agency);
the purpose of this publication is to facilita-
te mobility of students and staff between the
higher education institutions of Turkey and the
higher education institutions of other count-
ries participating in the Erasmus programme.
Turkish National Agency
The Centre for EU Education Youth Program-
mes (Turkish National Agency) is a public body
established for the implementation of the Life-
long Learning Programme and Youth in Acti-
on Programme in Turkey. The Centre receives
applications, evaluates and finances the pro-
jects and activities under these programmes. It
is located in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey.
The process of Turkeys membership to the
European Union education and youth prog-
rammes started back in 1999 with the candi-
dacy in Helsinki Summit. It took almost 2 years
for Turkey to decide the route for joining the
EU Community Programmes. In 2002 a small
department was established under the Sta-
te Planning Organization. In 2003 this depart-
ment was turned into an independent body
due to the funding structure of the program-
mes. Though being independent, this body
was still related to the State Planning Organi-
zation and was named as The Centre for EU
Education & Youth Programmes acting as the
Turkish National Agency.
Beginning from 2002, Turkey entered a prepa-
ratory phase for almost 18 months for the well
establishment of the programmes. On 1st Ap-
ril 2004, after finishing this phase successfully
Turkey became the 31st participating country
to the Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci and Youth
Programmes -as they were named back then-
. For each following year Turkeys total bud-
get increased gradually to help the beneficia-
ries to implement the programmes. However
in 2006 -the year of the second phase of the
Community Programmes consisting the period
2000-2006 - Turkish National Agency had al-
ready managed to spread the words across the
country and gathered more applications than
the existing yearly budget. Due to this success
during the planning of the third phase of the
programmes (2007-2013) Turkey managed to
its yearly budget to a level of 53 million Eu-
ros per year. This size of the budget Turkey be-
came the 7th largest country among the 31
countries participating countries. For the third
phase (2007-2013) Turkey 7 % of the total
Programme Budget which is holds almost 8
billion Euros in total.

Background
During the preparatory period, the Agency la-
unched a massive promotion campaign throug-
hout Turkey in order to inform potential bene-
ficiaries about the programmes. As soon as Tur-
key joined the Community programmes in 2004,
Turkish HEIs quickly participated in Erasmus Prog-
ramme in greater extend. Since the start of the Li-
felong Learning Programme (LLP) in 2007, now
129 Turkish higher education institutions possess
Erasmus University Charter enabling them to take
part in the Erasmus programme. During the full
participation period of six consecutive academic
years (2004-2010), Turkish HEIs have managed to
send approximately 30,000 students abroad and
received 9,000 whereas they sent 6,500 teaching
staff abroad, receiving 4,300.

Hgher Education in Turkey
Turkey with a large number of student popula-
tions offers great potential for student mobility.
There were approximately 1,023,228 short-cycle
or pre-bachelors; 1,152,265 first-cycle or underg-
raduate; 140,043 second-cycle or postgraduate;
and 66,732 third-cycle or doctoral degree stu-
dents enrolled at more than 150 higher educa-
tion institutions (HEIs) in Turkey for the acade-
mic year 2009/10. HEIs consist of 101 state uni-
versities; 52 foundation universities; 9 foundati-
on vocational school of higher education; 3 mili-
tary academies, 1 military medical school; 1 mili-
tary professional school of higher education and
1 Police Academy with around 100,000 academic
staff. There were approx 20,000 foreign students
registered at Turkish universities during the aca-
demic year 2009/10. Admission to the universiti-
es is through a centrally held university entrance
examination administered by the Student Selec-
tion and Placement Centre (SYM). The students
become entitled to apply for the central entran-
ce examination after completing primary (8 suc-
cessive years) and secondary school (minimum 4
years) education.
In 2010, approximately 1,700,000 students app-
lied for the central university entrance examina-
tion and only 327,865 students were placed at
universities for bachelor degrees. A considerab-
le more number of students (around 233,113)
were registered for pre-bachelor degrees. In ot-
her words the examination is very competitive.
International students wishing to pursue a full
time degree programme at Turkish universities
are required to take a separate exam called Fore-
ign Student Examination (YS) which is also ad-
ministered by SYM.
Although HEIs are spread throughout Turkey,
number of universities and students in major ci-

ties like Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir are for in ex-
cess. As of August 2007, there are around 40
higher education institutions in Istanbul, 14 in
Ankara and 7 in Izmir. Majority of the foundati-
on (private) HEIs have been established in these
three major cities.
Turkish Higher Education System
In 1981, in accordance with the new Higher Edu-
cation Law (No: 2547), the administration of hig-
her education in Turkey was comprehensively
restructured. The system thereby became cent-
ralised, with all higher education institutions
tied to the Council of Higher Education (CoHE
or YK). After this restructuring, all institutions
of higher education were designed as universi-
ties. Expansion of higher education throughout
the country was achieved, application to higher
education was centralised, and a central univer-
sity exam and placement were introduced. In ad-
dition to public universities, the first non-profit
foundation university in Turkey started to provi-
de education for students in 1986.
education area. Universities are the principle hig-
her education institutions in Turkey. They en-
joy academic autonomy and the status of pub-
lic legal entity. The universities offer two years
pre-bachelors (short cycle); 4 year bachelors (first
cycle); 5 year for some disciplines, such as vete-
rinary medicine and dentistry courses (master le-
vel) and 6 years medical courses. After comple-
ting at least a 4-year bachelor degree, the stu-
dents are admitted at the accredited universi-
ties for a master degree. The minimum period
for a student to complete a master program-
me (second cycle) is two years for master with
thesis and a year and half for master without
thesis. In the master with thesis programmes
students are requested to attend at least a one-
year-course and submit a dissertation. Possessi-
on of a master degree is traditionally necessary
for admission to a doctoral degree (third cycle).
However, there are some universities which ac-
cept students to a PhD degree without a master
diploma. The minimum period for a PhD degree

Historical sites, AEGEAN REGION

Turks started to settle in Anatolia during the period of the

Great Seljuk Empire in the early 11th century. Anatolia has
been called the "cradle of civilizations". With its four seasons,
its flora comprising of thousands of species, its fertile lands,
Turkey has been home to some of the earliest civilizations of
the world. These include the Hatis, Hittites, Phrygians, Urar-
tians, Lydians, Ionians, Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Byzan-
tines, Seljuks and Ottomans. Traces of these civilizations can
still be seen in many remarkable ancient sites located in all re-
gions of the country. Indeed, Turkey can be even regarded as
an open museum. Two of the Seven Wonders of the World are
in Turkey: The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus and The Mau-
soleum at Halicarnassus. Many of the countrys famous his-
Gipsy Girl, Zeugma/GAZANTEP
torical sites can be found in the webpages of the Turkish
Ministry of Culture and Tourism .

After the decline of the Ottoman Empire after World War I,

Atatrk founded the Republic of Turkey in 1923. After a se-
ries of reforms initiated with the foundation of Republic, the
roots for Modern Turkey were established.

Climate
B
ecause Turkey is located in different climate
zones, it is possible to enjoy the four sea-
sons and different climates simultaneously
in the country. People can go to the sea and
see snowy mountains at the same time too. Turkey is
also affected by the Mediterranean climate in which
summers can be hot and arid. However, thanks to its
location in the Eastern Mediterranean basin and its
surface roughness, the country has dry subtropical
areas as well as regions with abundant precipitation.

Culture
Turkey's cultural fabric is a mosaic of diverse cultures rooted
deeply in history. By virtue of its geographical position, Turkey
has been at the axis of the cultures of the East, the West, the
Middle East, the Mediterranean world and Islam. Anatolia, in
fact, is one of the world's oldest human habitats.
Anatolia's cultural variety is such that we can see great cultural
differences even in areas geographically quite close to each
other. This galaxy of cultures can be observed all around the
country in its music, food, architecture and traditions. Turkish
traditional blue tiles, for instance, are quite famous. One of
the most famous mosques in Turkey is the Blue Mosque of Is-
tanbul. Students may wish to visit Miniatrk in Istanbul where
they will be able to see many monuments and historical build-
ings in miniature size.
99 percent of the people of Turkey are Moslem. Orthodox
Christians, Jews, Catholics, Protestants and other Christian
sects make up the rest. Everyone, however, has freedom of re-
ligious belief and is free to practice his or her faith.

Turkey is a parliamentary democratic state with a single chamber. The Grand National Assembly is comprised of 550 members who are elected di-
rectly for five year terms. The Members of the Assembly elect the President of the Republic for a seven year term. Turkey is a secular state and is
the only country among Islamic countries to practice secularism.

tudents may wish to go shopping in old traditional

they can also find many items in the local markets.
Supermarkets and many shops are open until at least
10:00 pm. There are even some 24 hours open shops and
restaurants in many cities. Hence, people may no difficultiy in
finding their needs. Since Turkey is on bridge between east

Students should obtain Acceptance Letter from the host institution be-

from many countries can obtain their visas at the airport by paying the
stated visa fees. Within 15 days of their arrival, they should go to the For-
eign Relations Department at the Local Police Headquarters and sub-
mit the following documents in order to obtain the residence permit:
1. Student certification (issued by the host university, stating the start
and the end of the study period in Turkey)
2. Photocopies of relevant pages of the student passport (showing the
validity period of the passport and entrance date stamp at the airport)
3. 4 coloured pictures

along with an application form:
http://www.istanbul.pol.tr/iem/uploads/ikamet_beyannamesi.xls (this
form should be filled and printed in two copies and in double sided).
Note that the requirements listed in the previous documents are not
necessary for Erasmus students since the Turkish National Police inform
all police departments about the procedures.
The residence permit is issued within a day to a week depending on the
volume of work at the relevant police department. No additional cost is
required from international students.

he Academic year generally starts in mid-September and
ends in mid June, with a 2-4 weeks winter term break in Jan-
uary /February. Some universities also run summer schools
during the months of July and August.

Turkish universities are in line with the Bologna Process in many aspects:
for example, Turkish universities have been using a three-cycle system
since early 1970s. A typical bachelor degree can be earned in 4 years.
Graduate programs consist of masters and doctoral programs and are
coordinated by institutes for graduate studies. Master's programs are
specified as "with thesis" and "without thesis". Access to doctoral
Clock Tower, ZMR programs requires a master's degree. However, in certain disciplines,
such as medical science, veterinary medicine, and dentistry, a degree
can be achieved in either 5 or 6 years minimum.

Turkey has adopted the escalation of higher education in terms of

both quality and quantity as a major developmental goal. Some Turk-
ish universities have very strong international links. They have been
carrying out various international projects and student exchanges for
years. After the establishment of the Turkish National Agency in 2003,
Turkish Universities have started participating in the EU Erasmus
programme. Many Turkish Universities have been actively involved in
ECTS work. Since 1 April 2004, Turkey has fully participated in
Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci and Youth community programmes. In
the last two years, great interest has been evident about activities in
Turkish Universities in terms of student and teaching staff mobility
[check]. That trend is expected to continue and even increase dramat-
ically in the coming years. The Erasmus mobility figures can be seen in
the table below:

Turkey offers a healthy and welcoming environment for stu-
dents. Many universities have appointed advisers and offer
services to help international students adjust to life in Turkey.
Some universities have introduced orientation programs to ac-
quaint international students to their academic programmes.

By this way, I visited the beautiful Istanbul, cooked manti with
some women in a village, learnt common Turkey and French
history in Canakkale, and discovered the existence and mean-
ing of the Turning Men (Whirling Dervishes) in Konya
(Mevlana) and many other trips are still waiting for me.

One French Erasmus student who studied in Turkey in the ac-
ademic year of 2005/06 has this to report about her experi-
ence of studying in Turkey:
Erasmus this great traveller gave his name to the well-
known exchange program which allows students from Europe
to discover different countries, cultures, civilisations and peo-
ple all around Europe. I have taken this opportunity! And I am
now in Turkey, spending one of my 5 years education school
here.
Of course, one of the main important aspects of an Erasmus
exchange is to meet with new people. This point cannot just be
described. Everyone will create his own experience, live it. But
I can say that for me, Turkish people are responsible for a big
part of the well going of my adventure.
Right now, this adventure is going really well and I will keep
souvenirs forever, for sure!

Different reasons made me decided to spend one year abroad:

one of them is that I wanted to change! Air, environment, les-
sons so why would not change the country? Lets do it!
Also I had heard really good reports about other students ex-
periences, as it opened their mind, they learnt a lot about
themselves and others, country, culture So lets try it too.

When I left France to come to Turkey, I really did not know

what I would discover here. I had no idea about the country,
the population, the university and so on.

Well, I can say that all my wishes were fulfilled! Everything was
so new, different just amazing! It is a real chance to live with
Turkish people, and not just be there as a tourist. Indeed Turk-
ish culture is so rich. I am speaking about food, history, geo-
graphical and political issues, religion, disparities in life styles
(it is very interesting to compare some families who are living
with old Ottoman culture and new students generation who
are more modern but also very different than in Europe). I love
travelling in Turkey. Everywhere, I learn.

up for a computer account as well. They then
get a password and an e-mail account. Stu-
dents can register for their courses online at
many universities.

Orientation
Programmes
Almost all universities organise orientation programmes
for incoming students to show them around the campus
and the city. They can also take cultural courses as well as
benefit from tips offered on how to survive and enjoy
themselves in the city. During this programme, local stu-
dents help incoming ones until they settle down at the
university.

Each university has its own library storing relevant books and
periodicals. However, many universities subscribe to databanks
which provides access to tens of thousands of periodicals. The
universities benefit from an inter library-loan system which
facilitates lending or borrowing books from other libraries
throughout Turkey. Students may wish to search online library
catalogues of the university and can reserve books via the in-
ternet. In big cities, students may wish to visit other universi-
ties and their libraries for study purposes.

Accommodation

Campus universities generally offer all sorts of accommoda-

tion facilities. State-owned dormitories are also available in
some cases. Many universities have set aside seats for interna-
tional students in their dormitories. Prices of such forms of
accommodations are often cheaper than in many European
countries.

Students who wish to live off-campus can co-share flats with

their friends. Rents vary according to the city and the district.
The Office for International Students helps incoming students
to find reasonable and suitable accommodation.
 T
he official language of Turkey is Turkish (Trke)
which is not an Indo-European language. It belongs
to the Altay branch of the Ural-Altay linguistic fam-
ily. The Turkic languages constitute a language fam-
ily of some thirty languages; this is the 7th most widely spoken
language among the thousands of languages spoken in the
world and is spoken across a vast area from Eastern Europe to
Siberia and Western China with an estimated 200 million
speakers, including native and tens of millions of second- lan-
guage speakers [check; are you talking about the language or
the language system?]. More than 90 percent of all contempo-
rary speakers of Altaic languages speak a Turkish language.
The people of this region were nomads and Turks, too, for
centuries led nomadic lives and took their language along
wherever they moved. The Turkish language family now
stretches from the Mongolian lands and China in the East to
present-day Turkey. The Turkish language at present is widely
spoken in the following countries and regions: Turkey, North-
ern Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Turkistan,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Western China. In ad-
dition, Turkish is spoken by several million emigrants in the Eu-

Language ropean Union. It is also spoken in Balkan countries such as the

Republic of Macedonia, some parts of Greece, Bulgaria, Ro-
mania, Hungary, Nagorno Karabagh, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Al-
bania, Kosovo etc.

A major change in the language took place in 1928 when a

Latin- based alphabet was adopted instead of the Arabic script.
Now the Turkish alphabet has 29 letters, 8 of which are vow-
els and 21 are consonants. The Turkish language is written
phonetically, that is to say, every letter is pronounced while
reading.

A number of Turkish universities have been selected by the
Turkish National Agency to organise Erasmus Intensive Lan-
guage Course where students can learn Turkish to help them in
their everyday communication. Interest in learning Turkish is
growing rapidly among incoming Erasmus students. For exam-
ple, during summer 2006, 165 students enrolled in these
courses, whereas in the previous year the figure was 107. How-
ever, many universities offer courses in foreign languages,
chiefly English, partially or completely. Therefore, international
students may not find it difficult to get by at the universities.
Nevertheless, knowledge of Turkish could prove to be useful to
talk to local people and when you go shopping. One must re-
member though that cities like Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir and
other tourist spots will pose no problems to people who do
not know Turkish.
 iKfte

T
urkey is internationally famous for its rich "cuisine".
The food served, however, will vary from geograph-
ical region to region. One can only conclude that
the evolution of the rich and varied cuisine was not
an accident. As was the case with other grand cuisines of the
world, the delectable and different dishes that can be tasted
are the result of the combination of three key elements: a nur-
turing environment; regional differentiation; and the legacy
of an imperial tradition. Hundreds of cooks specializing in dif-
ferent types of dishes, all eager to please the royal palate, no
Brek doubt played their part in perfecting the Cuisine that we can
savour today. The Palace Kitchen, supported by a complex so-
cial structure, a vibrant urban life, specialization of labour,
trade, and total control of the Spice Road led to the evolution
of a splendid culinary culture in the capital of a mighty Empire.

Moreover, since the Turkish State of Anatolia is a millennium

old its cuisine, too, is rich historically. Tradition is the key; as
Ibn'i Haldun wrote, "the religion of the King, in time, becomes

Food that of the People", an observation which also holds for the
King's food. Thus, the reign of the Ottoman Dynasty during
600 years, and a seamless cultural transition into present-day
modern Turkey has led to the evolution of a grand Cuisine
through differentiation, refinement and perfection of dishes,
as well as their sequence and combination of meals.

It is only rarely that all the three conditions listed above meet
as they do in French, Chinese and Turkish Cuisine. Turkish Cui-
sine also benefits from being at the cross-roads of Far-East and
Mediterranean food habits. All these unique characteristics
and history have bestowed upon Turkish Cuisine a rich and
varied number of dishes, which can be prepared and combined
with other dishes in meals of almost infinite variety, but always
in a non-arbitrary way. This has led to development of regional
cooking styles. Needless to say, Turkish Cuisine is an integral
aspect of the nations culture and part of the rituals of every-
day life. It reflects spirituality, in forms that are specific to it,
through symbolism and practice .

In all universities good quality food is available at reasonable

prices. Cafes or restaurants around campuses or at the city cen-
tres provide options for eating out. Students may also prefer to
do their own cooking. They may shop in local markets which
offer a variety of healthy, fresh food at very reasonable prices.

I
n each region and in each city, cultural
events take place all year long. They can take
part in diverse festivals or in religious or of-
ficial holiday events and attend shows and
concerts. Students also have the opportunity to go
to cinemas, theatres, concerts, and can entertain
themselves while in the campus by being part of stu-
dent clubs and attending entertainment events organ-
ized for them, including pop concerts. Students may
even get the opportunity to participate in traditional
Turkish wedding parties.
Music
Turkey has a rich traditional of popular/rock music. Music has always
been an important tool to express feelings, happiness, sadness, and re-
flections etc. of Turkish people. However most of the songs are about
love!
One of the most internationally popular Turkish singers is Tarkan who
sings also in English and who gave concerts throughout Europe in sum-
mer 2006. Sezen Aksu is also quite popular among young and middle-
aged people because of her sentimental songs. Another popular singer
Sertab Erener has brought the first-ever Eurovision Song Contest Award
to Turkey in 2003 and the song Everyway That I Can became a sum-
mer smash across Europe that year.
In addition to popular music, Classical Turkish Music and Turkish Folk
Music are popular among the young. Music traditions, inevitably, vary
in the different geographical regions. Ibrahim Tatlises is one of the most
important and popular singers of eastern Turkish Folk Music.

Almost all branches of sports and arts are played in Turkey.
The country has characteristics of four climates which allow
people to enjoy various sports. Universities offer all sorts of
sports and recreation facilities to their students. International
students may take part in sports activities on their own or can
join any one of the student group events. The favourite sport
is football and it is enjoyed throughout the country. One of the
most famous derbies in the world is that between two Turkish
clubs: Fenerbahce and Galatasaray. Hakan kr is one of the
most famous Turkish football players in the globe. Famous
Turkish players who now play in many European football clubs
include Fatih Tekke, Emre Belzolu, Nihat Kahveci, and
Yldray Batrk. However, basketball is also quite popular and
a number of Turkish international basketball players play reg-
ularly in NBA League, for example, Hidayet Trkolu, Mehmet
Okur and Hseyin Beok.

Students may enrol in arts courses that are offered as part of

the academic programs of some universities and may get the
opportunity to learn about traditional arts and culturural events
through them such as Turkish music, architecture, and decora-
tive arts like ebru etc.

Students are advised to buy a health insurance package which will cover
health expenses that they may incur during their study in Turkey. All
higher education institutions have medical centres where they treat stu-
dents for minor illness. Some universities even have medical faculties
and hospitals where students are treated free of charge. However,
whether an Erasmus incoming student can be treated in these hospi-
tals free of charge has to be ascertained by consulting the rules of part-
ner institutions.

Visa
International students from certain countries must obtain a valid stu-
dent visa from the nearest Turkish Consulate in their country. They
should make sure that there is enough time for the Embassy/Consulate
staff to issue visas. The passport expiry date should be later than the
time that a person intends to stay in Turkey. A full list of Turkish Em-
bassies or Consulates can be found at the end of this booklet. This visa
is required for registration at the university and must be obtained before
entering Turkey.
However if a student wishes to stay longer than the period stated above,
they need to apply for a student visa at the Turkish embassies or Con-
sulates in the respected countries prior to departure.

the biggest problems. Our University is working
meticulously to find a solution to this problem by
opening new halls of residence. A limited num-
ber of students are given accommodation at the
guesthouse on the Avclar campuse. In addition
to that, private dormitories, boarding houses and
flats for rent are further alternatives for the soluti-
on of the accommodation problem.

versity continue to invest in the students by hos-
ting thousands of publications. Students can

charge, either by using them in the library or by
borrowing them for a certain period of time.
STUDENT LIFE
Istanbul University students carry out activities
and work in their fields of interest in hundreds
of student clubs on cinema, theatre, computers,
marbling, mountaineering and such topics. Stu-
dents organize vents either through their facul-
ties or through the Students Culture Centers at
Beyazit and Avclar Campuses. Especially the Stu-
dent Cultural Center is an unique student estab-
lishment with no equivalent in other universiti-
es. The Student Cultural Center organizes activi-
ties throughout the year with the 16 art and cul-
ture clubs it incorporates. Istanbul University pre-
sents eating facilities to its students in genuinely

UNIVERSITY
Kocaeli University (KOU) is a state university in Ko-
caeli, Turkey. The first step for KOU was the Aca-
demy of Engineering and Architecture of Kocaeli
founded in 1976. In 1992, it was founded as Koca-
eli University and became an independent instituti-
on since then. KOU has 45728 students and 1095
academic staff with 299 short cycle programmes

rammes at 11 faculties and 6 colleges, 81 masters
and 39 PhD programmes at 3 graduate schools.
The academic year of the University is composed of
two semesters, the first term generally begins on
the last week of September and ends in the middle

CITY
zmit is a city of 371.725 inhabitants and it is the
central administrative unit of Kocaeli province,
which inhabits 1.5 million residents. In Turkey,
some province centers bear different names than
their provinces; hence is the Kocaeli/zmit distinc-
tion. The vocational schools and most of the col-
leges of KOU are located in various districts of the
city. However, all the faculties (except for the Fa-
culty of Architecture which lies in zmit city centre,
only 20 minutes from Umuttepe campus) are lo-
cated at KOUs central campus, Umuttepe, which
is just outside Izmit, Kocaeli. zmit is the industrial
center of Turkey with thousands of factories of va-
rious size, including Turkeys greatest factory, the
Tupras (an oil refinery), automobile, machinery,
and a number of heavy industries. The region ge-
nerates 13% of national output of manufactured
goods, has 13% of national trade and has the hig-
hest per capita GDP at USD 7800. With its ancient
heritage, zmit also bears cultural and historical sig-
nificance in the region.

Ko University was founded in 1993 as a non-
profit private university located in Istanbul. The
mission of Ko University is to be a center of ex-
cellence, one that strives to provide a world-class
education to its students, create new knowledge
via the research of its faculty, apply the acquired
knowledge for the benefit of society, and equip
its students with the highest sense of ethics, soci-
al responsibility and good citizenship.
At Ko University students acquire the intellectu-
al courage to inquire and question while concur-
rently developing the character necessary to ser-
ves custodians of democratic values and freedom.
: 1993 Guided by the highest standards of academic and
: 222696 interpersonal development, the institution col-

: None Although it is not the capital, Istanbul is the lar-
: gest city in Turkey as the leading industrial, com-
: 3.261 mercial and cultural center. Population of the city
: 350 is estimated to be more than 15 million. Istan-
: 64 bul sprawls over an enormous area on both banks

: 127 rus runs north to south, from the Black Sea to the
: 17 Sea of Marmara, through the middle of Istanbul,
splitting the city in half and causing it to stradd-
le two continents: Asia and Europe. Unlike many
other European cities, Istanbul does not branch
out from a main Town Hall or central square. Ins-
tead, Istanbul is a cobbled-together collection of
various landmarks and patches of land, all inter-
connected by twisty alleys. The city is the chief
seaport and commercial and financial center of
Turkey. A large share of the trade of Turkey pas-
ses through Istanbul. Istanbul is also the head-
quarters of the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox
church and the archdiocese of the Patriarch of the
Armenians in Turkey.

UNIVERSITY
zyein University (OzU) is a non-profit, state-
recognized higher education institution in Istan-
bul, Turkey. OzU welcomed its first students in
2008 at its Altunizade city campus, and will grow
into Turkeys first green campus university with a
LEED certificate. Although OzU is young, our fa-
culty is experienced at what we want to achie-
ve: we produce creative, original, useful and app-
licable knowledge relevant not only within the
context of Turkey, but also on a regional and in-

: 11 CITY
: Istanbul 2010 European Capital of Culture is
often characterized as the only city in the world
: 72
to embrace two continents, the bridge that con-
: 16 nects East with West. While studying at zyein
: University, you can explore the city once known
as the capital of capital cities, having served as the
axis upon which the Roman, Byzantine and Otto-
man Empires revolved. The city has been home to
more than 120 emperors and sultans over a span
of 1600 years, and there are still remnants of the-
ir former wealth and glory: palaces and villas,
churches and mosques, fountains and theaters,
private schools and bathhouses. Today, from the
depths of this historical Istanbul, a new, modern,
dynamic Istanbul has been born, gaining acclaim
and popularity among many, especially students.
Alongside ancient minarets and Roman city walls
have emerged shiny shopping malls and skyscra-
pers; integrated amongst the narrow streets and
cobbled walkways are bars and nightclubs ringing
out the latest music sensations.
ACCOMODATION
zyein University has residence halls to house
students in the amlca neighborhood of Istan-
bul, ten minutes away from our Altunizade cam-
pus. The residence halls offer a modern, comfor-
table living environment and feature facilities and
services to ensure an efficient study atmosphere.
International students are given priority in hou-
sing arrangements. A shuttle bus connects the re-
sidence halls to the campus and public transpor-
70
tation links provide an easy access to the central
parts of Istanbul.
LABORATORIES
Labs are the lifeblood of education at zyein.
From freshman to graduation, students are expo-
sed to real life situations in various state-of-the-
art labs and spaces. The library collection at OzU
includes a wide variety of resources in print and
electronic format, such as books, journals, da-
tabases, and multimedia resources. Most of the
electronic resources are available from off campus
locations 24/7. Every OzU student receives a por-
table computer and student account upon enrol-
ment to the university and has full access to the
Internet via wireless access points throughout the
campus. The student account also provides access
to a range of online services such as student email
and Moodle, a virtual learning environment.
STUDENT LIFE
We at OzU believe that student clubs help form
the backbone of a lively, colorful university en-
vironment while serving to cultivate individuals
with multiple interests. Students at OzU are en-
couraged to start and participate in clubs with the
organizational and financial support of the uni-
versity. Some examples of the existing clubs inclu-
de: dance club, cinema club, outdoor sports club,
social responsibility club, photography club, thea-
ter club, debate society, technology and innovati-
on club, and business and economy club. The Stu-
dent Council, a student organization that repre-
sents the entire student body to the university ad-
ministration, generates proposals and participates
in governance of student-related issues. As one of
its core values, social responsibility is integrated
into the very fabric of OzUs educational program,
with the university seeking to increase awareness
of social problems and involving both faculty and
students in developing real, sustainable solutions.
INTERNATIONALISATION
The Bologna process has served as an essential
framework for the design of all OzU educational
programs. To facilitate the mobility of people,
transparency, and recognition of qualifications,
curriculum development is based on the QF-EHEA
and only the ECTS is used for credit allocation.
The student mobility ratio of the first graduating
class will be over 30%. Of the academic staff
25% are international and degree seeking fore-
ign students are planned to represent 15% of the
student body.
LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION
The medium of instruction at zyein University
is English. In addition, the Hotel Management
students are required to obtain a second foreign
language, such as Russian, Spanish, Arabic or Chi-
nese. The students in other programs are encou-
raged to study foreign languages as an elective
option.

CITY
The god and human, nature and art are toget-
her in there, they have created such a perfect pla-
ce that it is valuable to see. Lamartines famous
poetic line reveals his love for Istanbul, describing
the embracing of two continents, with one arm
reaching out to Asia and the other to Europe. Is-
tanbul, once known as the capital of capital citi-
es, has many unique features. It is the only city in
the world to straddle two continents, and the only
one to have been a capital during two consecuti-
ve empires - Christian and Islamic. Once was ca-
pital of the Ottoman Empire, Istanbul still remains
the commercial, historical and cultural pulse of Tur-
key, and its beauty lies in its ability to embrace its
contradictions. Ancient and modern, religious and
secular, Asia and Europe, mystical and earthly all
co-exist here. The city houses many national and
international music, film and art festivals throug-
hout the year. Its variety is one of Istanbuls grea-
test attractions.

: 3 Yeni Yzyl is a newly established private univer-
: sity with a distinguished body of scholars. The
university has been founded after nearly fifty ye-
ars experience in the field of health, and has the
unique advantage of receiving support from the
Universal Hospitals Group, which provides health
services in Turkey and abroad. All curricula and
course programs of the university are being set up
in harmony with those that are currently offered
at European institutions of higher education. Ac-
cordingly, a student-based educational approach
is adopted, creating a manageable per semester
credit load, and solely using ECTS for all depart-
ments and centers. In the near future, Yeni Yuz-
yil will be Turkeys first ecological campus, which
will enable our students to receive top-notch hig-
her education in a green environment that breeds
clean air producing its own energy and recycling
its own waste.
CITY
Located at the heart of Istanbul, Yeni Yzyil is de-
signed as a city university. With its innovative
campus and easy access to the social and cultural
life of Istanbul, Yeni Yzyl has a lot to offer vis--
vis the students extra curricular needs. Istanbul
is the commercial, cultural and educational center
of Turkey. The capital of Byzantine and Ottoman
80
Empires and home to countless cultures, Istanbul
still retains its rich cosmopolitan character and is
a great place to study as an international student.
ACCOMODATION
Aside from private and state-sponsored dormi-
tories around the campus, Yeni Yuzyil provides
housing for international students through part-
nering student hotels with single, double and
triple occupancy rooms, cafeteria and recreatio-
nal services as well as study rooms.
LABORATORIES

fully equipped medical laboratories for students
of medical school, dentistry and pharmacy. The
es for students of science as well as various com-
puter labs for all students regardless of their ma-
jors. The library has access to academic journals
and monographs.
Yeni Yzyl Universitys Topkap Ofluolu Cam-
pus generates a social and cultural environment
that provides the students with a unique oppor-
tunity for personal development. Various social
clubs and organizations will offer a wide range
of possibilities for students to pursue their hobbi-
es during the academic year. Since a substantial
portion of the students will be commuting from
different parts of the city, we established part-
nerships with various sports facilities around our
campus, that are built in international standards.
These facilities will give the students a chance to
sweat off the days stress. We also plan to orga-
nize different art exhibitions and social events at
our food court, which will bring together our stu-
dents from different faculties and create a diver-
se environment.

of Istanbul is encircled with fortifications built in
the 5th century CE and stretches over 7 hills, each
of which was crowned with a sultans mosque,

such as climbing, chess, and aviation.
INTERNATIONALISATION
KTU is one of the first universities in Turkey to join
the Erasmus program. Over the past few years, it has
vities with universities around the globe. The num-
bers of bilateral agreements and outgoing and inco-
ming exchange students have increased steadily. To
enhance such exchanges we have taken all the me-
asures required, which helped the university receive
diploma supplement and ECTS labels. KTU is one of
the two ECTS holders in the country.
LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION
Teaching language at KTU is mainly Turkish, but
there are also departments with 30% of the cour-
ses being taught in English. Currently the students
of 22 first cycle degree programmes, and all of the
second and third cycle programmes must show the
required qualifications in English to be able to start
the degree courses. A complete list of the courses
and their teaching media is given in the information
packages of each department to be found at http://
obs.ktu.edu.tr.

UNIVERSITY
Founded in 1957, Atatrk University is one of the
citys most significant resources. Since its estab-
lishment, it has served as a hub of educational and
cultural excellence for the region. As its very name
suggests, it was Mustafa Kemal Atatrk who first
openly declared in 1937 the necessity to establish a
university in Eastern Anatolia in the form of a regi-
onal university. Immediately after its establishment,
Atatrk University was twinned with the University
of Nebraska. Great strides have been made since
the establishment of the university with the initial
enrolment of 135 students to over 39.000 at pre-
sent. Atatrk University has over 160 thousand
graduates as of 2009. In addition, the university
currently has approximately 13.000 students in dis-
tant learning. An institution of higher education for
over half a century, our university continues to serve
the region with 50 academic units. Our university
also provided the foundations of many universities
in Turkey.
CITY
Atatrk, the founder of modern Turkey, was hosted
in Erzurum at the beginning of the Turkish indepen-
dence movement on 23 July 1919. It is the city in
which the foundations of the Turkish Republic were
first laid, thus making it one of the most significant
cities of the Eastern Anatolia.
Erzurum has for many centuries played a significant
role as a crossroad where many civilizations conver-
ged as one. You may see markings all around the
city from many ancient civilizations, such as Urar-
tians, Persians, Romans, Arabs and Byzantines. The
city is characterized by many historical sites, which
provide a unique appearance to the surroundings.
One of these is the Double Minaret Medrese, dating
back to the 13th century. Erzurum is also a globally-
known center for winter sports. Palandken Moun-
tain, on the edge of the city, offers some of the best
winter recreational activities in all of Turkey, where
skiing is possible until mid April.
ACCOMODATION
Atatrk University offers a vast range of accom-
modation choices for students and teaching staff.
Apart from those who live in on-campus dormito-
ries, some choose to live in private accommodati-
on, which is only a short bus ride distance to the
campus. The dormitories have a total accommoda-
tion capacity of 9642 beds. Female and male dor-
mitories are provided for students in the main cam-
pus, Oltu, Pasinler, spir and Akale. There are also
w w w . u a . g o v . t r 165
private dorms and student guesthouses around the
campuses.
LABORATORIES
The university boasts a well designed library in the
main campus with over 300.000 volumes with au-
dio visual, and electronic publications, and 550 se-
ats for readers. The library is one of the richest in
the country in terms of its entries, historical books
and collections. There are 345 laboratories estab-
lished within academic units, provided for the use

of the students as well as for teaching and rese-
arch. These laboratories are equipped with the la-
test technologies. Computer Sciences Application
and Research Center provides computer education,
related written and electronic material and consul-
tancy services for the academics, students, and pub-
lic. In addition to those in faculties, the center has 3
labs with a total of 260 computers.
STUDENT LIFE
One of the priorities of Atatrk University is to make
students active participants in social, cultural, and
artistic events, rather than mere spectators. Free co-
urses open every year in order to give all students
the opportunity to improve their skills in Turkish
folk dances, Turkish folk music, western music, tra-
ditional musical instruments and theater. Moreover,
there are free cinema shows, concerts, cultural car-
nivals, music and folk dance shows, cinema days,
street carnivals, celebrations and commemorations,
