Higher education institutions select their students to participate in study and internship activities according to the selection criteria set by the Center. Student selections are made from among applicants who meet the minimum requirements, based on the evaluation criteria and weighted scores announced by the Center, by ranking the scores from highest to lowest and applying the selection according to preference order/score/budget criteria.

In addition to the average of academic success and foreign language scores, when calculating the Erasmus selection score of students who have previously benefited from higher education student or internship mobility under Erasmus+ (2014–2020 or 2021–2027) within the same study cycle, a deduction of 10 points is applied for each previously utilized activity (regardless of whether it was study or internship).

The evaluation criteria and weighted scores to be used in evaluating mobility applications are listed below:

The “-10 points” deduction for previous participation is not applied for mobility activities carried out in a previous study cycle or for mobility activities other than higher education student/internship mobility. It is applied if a student who has already participated in mobility applies again within the same study cycle.

For students who were selected in a previous selection period within the same study cycle but did not carry out their activity without a valid force majeure reason, a “-10 points” deduction is applied for each activity not carried out, even if they had earned the right to participate. If the higher education institution anticipates withdrawals and gives students a period to declare their withdrawal, and students notify their withdrawal within this period, no point deduction is applied. If the higher education institution conducts the selection process for study and internship mobility within the same application and evaluation process, and a student who has not previously participated in mobility applies for both study and internship at the same time, the choice of which activity will have the “-10 points” deduction applied is left to the student. In this case, the student is required to submit a written statement indicating which activity they prefer the deduction to be applied to. If a student who has previously participated in mobility applies for both study and internship mobility at the same time, a “-20 points” deduction is applied for the type of mobility they have previously benefited from, and a “-10 points” deduction is applied for the second type of mobility they are applying for.

Deductions are made from the student's total score.

If the total scores calculated by taking all criteria into account are equal, the student with the higher academic achievement grade will be given priority; if the academic achievement grade is also equal, the student with the younger age will be given priority.

Students studying in a double major can apply for mobility from only one major in the same application period.

The ranking of students' scores is done within the relevant department/faculty according to the quotas allocated to the department or faculties.

__

1. General grade point average and language score are calculated out of 100 points.
2. The YÖK Grade Conversion Table is used to convert grades from the 4-point system to the 100-point system.
3. Since the Grade Point Average (GPA) is automatically retrieved from YÖKSİS during the application, there is no obligation to upload a transcript separately. The applicant is responsible for the accuracy of the data in YÖKSİS. If the data is not up to date, it must be updated through the relevant unit. In case of any discrepancy between the University Information System and YÖKSİS data, the YÖKSİS data will be taken as the basis. If the YÖKSİS data cannot be updated, the GPA stated in a scanned version of a wet-signed and stamped transcript obtained from the relevant unit will be taken as the basis, provided it is uploaded to the system. In such cases, the individual must inform the Erasmus+ Institutional Coordination Office. If the GPA has not yet been formed, the provisions of the Erasmus+ Higher Education Institutions Handbook published by the Directorate for EU Affairs – Turkish National Agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Türkiye will apply.
4. To qualify for mobility, a minimum score of 50 must be obtained in the foreign language exam (either the KGTÜ International Relations Office Foreign Language Exam or foreign language exams recognized by ÖSYM). The minimum score requirement varies by department. For detailed information, refer to the Foreign Language Exam section. The language exam to be held specifically for this announcement is valid only for this announcement. The results cannot be used for any other announcement.
5. Minimum score requirements vary depending on the language and department of the foreign language exam. For minimum score requirements by foreign language and department, please see the Foreign Language Exam section.
6. For prioritization, the student must submit a Disability Health Board Report as stated in the “Regulation on the Assessment of Disability for Adults” published in the Official Gazette dated February 20, 2019, and numbered 30692. Additional grant opportunities are available for students with disabilities.
7. Internships that involve one or more of the following activities are considered within this scope: digital marketing (e.g., social media management, web analytics), digital graphics, mechanical and architectural design; application, software, and code or website development; installation, maintenance, and management of information systems and networks, cybersecurity, data analytics, data mining and visualization; programming, robotics, and artificial intelligence training. General customer service, lead generation, data entry, or routine office tasks are not considered within this scope. It must be documented that the mobility falls under the DoT scope.
8. Every student who meets the selection criteria can benefit from the mobility without a grant.
9. Veterans and their spouses and children, as well as the spouses and children of martyrs, along with the spouses and children of public officials who, under Article 21 of the Anti-Terror Law No. 3713 dated April 12, 1991, were injured, disabled, killed, or murdered due to being subjected to terrorist acts while performing their duties in Turkey or abroad (even if their official status had ended), and the spouses and children of those who lost their lives, or civilians who were disabled, as a result of the coup attempt and terrorist act on July 15, 2016, and subsequent related events, under Article 7 of Decree Law No. 667 dated July 23, 2016, are given priority when applying for Erasmus+ student mobility. The situation must be documented with a martyrdom/veteran certificate and a current Population Registration Record (Family Record) obtained from the Digital Türkiye Portal (e-Government Gateway).
10. To be prioritized, the student must submit a letter from the Ministry of Family and Social Policies stating that they have a protection, care, or shelter decision pursuant to Law No. 2828. This situation must be documented with documents obtained from the relevant authorities.
