“As the Erasmus+ Institutional Coordinator, which serves as our university's gateway to the world, we are carrying out many important activities in line with our institution's internationalization goals. The Erasmus+ program is at the forefront of these activities; however, our aim is not limited to this.

Emphasizing that international experiences are a significant turning point in individuals' personal and academic development, Prof. Dr. Değirmen said, “International experience is a very valuable process that enriches a person's life, broadens their horizons, and transforms them. In an era where intercultural interaction is so intense, these kinds of programs are a great opportunity for our students.”.
