2024–2025 Academic Year Spring Semester Erasmus+ KA171 Student Mobility for Studies Call
(Bosnia and Herzegovina and Albania)
The Erasmus+ KA171 Programme offers student exchange opportunities with countries outside the European Union Programme Countries. Under this programme, students study at their assigned higher education institution abroad. Upon completion of the mobility, the courses they have taken are recognized in accordance with the relevant regulations and university procedures.
This call is open to students wishing to study at the International Sarajevo University (Bosnia and Herzegovina) or Luarasi University (Albania) during the Spring Semester of the 2024–2025 Academic Year. Only students enrolled in Business Administration, Management Information Systems, or Software Engineering may apply. A total of two students will receive grants: one for mobility to Bosnia and Herzegovina and one for mobility to Albania.
Applications must be submitted through the Turna Portal using e-Government login credentials between 9 and 25 October 2024. As the study mobility grant covers one semester, applications are being accepted for mobility during the Spring Semester of the 2024–2025 Academic Year.
Application requirements

Applicants must be enrolled in one of the departments listed above and must be full-time students at Ankara Bilim University. Undergraduate students enrolled in language preparatory classes are not eligible.

Students who apply simultaneously for both study and traineeship mobility will have 10 points deducted from the final score for their preferred mobility type.
-
If a selected student fails to attend meetings or training sessions organized by the University in relation to the mobility without a valid excuse, 5 points will be deducted if they apply for Erasmus again.
