PROJECT
FINISHED
We have completed a successful project period and are glad to be a part of Erasmus family. We have carried out the goals of our project by sending more students and staff than proposed in our application.
The project was planned with great motivation aiming to send students from all cycles and as well as both administrative and academic staff. In this sense, we have reached our goals.
Students registered in different faculties, graduate schools and departments have completed their mobility with success.
Our main goal was to send more participants using the given grant. Actually, we proposed to send 32 participants in total, but we could attain including 35 participants at the end of the project. In detail, 16 students from first cycle, 2 students from second cycle and 2 students from 3rd cycle participated in the student mobility for studies. Regarding the staff mobility, 2 administrative and 13 academic staff benefited from the project. This result contributed to the internationalization strategy of our university.
Our university is also accredited with Erasmus+ Higher Education Mobility Consortium. In this sense, our university coordinates a student traineeship consortium project with two other universities and one association. Hence, we had the opportunity to send our students for traineeship mobility using the grant given for this project. In order to increase the number of participants who will benefit from SMS, we transferred the traineeship grant given for 7 students in the 2014-1-TR01-KA103-000523 numbered project to student mobility for studies. In this project, there were students benefiting from SMS and administrative and academic staff participating in Staff Mobility for Training and Staff Mobility for Teaching.
Students participating in SMS achieved their academic and departmental goals. They also had the opportunity to improve their English language skills and learn a second foreign language in their host countries. Moreover, they acquired various cultural experience within multicultural environments. They experienced different international education systems. Thus, upon their return, they were more self-confident and self-motivated in academic and social environments.
In the long term, the success of the outgoing students and staff were encouraging for other prospective participants. For instance, Erasmus program is a motivator for students to achieve higher their academic success and learn different languages. Our university is a student-oriented one and thus we plan to increase the number of mobility for students and staff at all levels. Furthermore, this successful project motivated us to conduct new and different mobility projects as internationalization is one of our primary goal of our institution.
