  • The student must continue to be a student at Bogazici University at least for one more semester (excluding summer terms) after returning from his/her study abroad.

​Important Notes:

  • Applicants will be ranked according to their "University Points", which will be calculated based on their academic GPAs and language proficiencies. For the details of these calculations, please attend at least one of the ERASMUS/EXCHANGE information sessions given by our office.
  • Exchange Programs for Fall terms can be applied to only during the First Placement process.
  • Students nominated in the First Placement who haven't submitted their commitment letters or who have lost their placement due to language/GPA requirements may reapply during the Second Placement process provided that they satisfy the requirements stated above.
  • The Final Round of Placement (3rd) is only for those students applying during the Second Placement who haven't submitted their commitment letters or haven't been nominated. No new applications will be accepted.
  • Students who do not participate in their Exchange Program even though they previously submitted their commitment letters won't be allowed to apply to Exchange Programs again unless they can provide a valid excuse (e.g. health reasons).
