No. In the BIP (Brain-Integrated Programme) structure, physical mobility and a complementary virtual component are carried out together. Participants are expected to complete both components in accordance with the program requirements.

BIP activities are based on an academic learning outcome, and ECTS recognition is planned according to the program structure. In learning mobility, the principle is that at least 3 ECTS credits should be recognized at the end of the activity.

This is a type of Erasmus+ student mobility program that allows doctoral students to undertake short-term physical or blended mobility programs tailored to their educational and research needs. The exact duration and conditions are specified within the relevant announcement/project.

Yes. For BIP and other short-term mobility programs, separate announcements may be published as the program's subject, host institution, dates, quotas, application requirements, and selection criteria may vary depending on the specific activity.

First, your own university must officially nominate you for the Erasmus+ program at Sivas Cumhuriyet University. Following the nomination, you will receive information regarding the application and registration process.

Accepted students may be asked to submit documents such as a Learning Agreement, Transcript of Records, passport copy, biometric photograph, Europass CV, and motivation letter. The most up-to-date list of required documents and application method will be specified in the acceptance/application email.

The general language of instruction at Sivas Cumhuriyet University is Turkish; however, there are also courses conducted in English. Students should check the English courses offered in the relevant semester and the departmental requirements via the Incoming Portal before selecting courses.

In full-term learning mobility, the overall academic load is planned as 30 ECTS credits. The final course list is determined in accordance with the student's Learning Agreement and the academic approval of their home university.

Programmes, courses offered in English, and academic information are published on the Incoming Erasmus+ Mobilities Portal. Since course offerings and schedules may change periodically, the current list should be checked regularly.

In staff mobility, the suitability of the sending institution and the relevant academic/administrative unit is assessed first. Since the nomination, acceptance, and mobility agreement processes may vary according to KA131/KA171, the Incoming Portal and relevant contact information should be used.

Accommodation options may vary depending on the mobility period and availability. Participants should review the latest information on the Incoming Portal and check factors such as location, cost, cancellation policies, and reliability before making a reservation.

Upon completion of the mobility program, the courses taken and results obtained by the student are reflected in the Transcript of Records document, in accordance with the relevant academic records. The student must complete the academic and administrative closing procedures for the document to be prepared.

The department's Erasmus+ coordinator serves as the department's academic point of contact regarding student and staff mobility, including matters such as academic eligibility, course/internship plans, Learning Agreement or Mobility Agreement processes, and academic recognition.

The coordinator should check the academic compatibility of the selected courses with the student's program, the credit load, the recognition plan, and the academic justification for any changes made during the mobility period.

New agreement requests should be submitted through the Erasmus+ Institutional Coordinator's agreement process, taking into account academic needs, suitability of the host institution, department/field matching, and sustainable mobility potential.

The nomination process may vary depending on the project and institutional workflow. The formal nomination of a student to the partner institution must be carried out within the institutional process determined by the Erasmus+ Institutional Coordinator; independent nominations via personal email should not be processed. All nomination processes are handled centrally by the Coordinator.

At the end of the mobility period, the Learning Agreement for Traineeships' After Mobility section or equivalent document, attendance/date certificate, and other closing documents requested during the process may be required to show that the internship took place and its results.

Erasmus+ grants are financial support provided to help cover additional expenses that may arise due to mobility. The grant should not be considered a full salary or scholarship covering all expenses.

No. Grant status is determined by the allocated budget, quota, project type, ranking, and announcement conditions. Mobility without grant funding may also be possible if eligible.

Payment timing depends on the completion of the grant agreement, submission of required documents, availability of the project budget, and relevant financial processes. The exact payment schedule should be based on the information provided regarding the eligible period.

The bank account to be used for grant payments must comply with the currency and account conditions specified by the Erasmus+ Institutional Coordinator and, as a rule, must be in the participant's own name. Current account information and conditions will be communicated during the contract process. The candidate must open a current Euro account at Türkiye Vakıflar Bankası TAO Cumhuriyet University/Sivas branch and upload their e-Account Wallet to the relevant system.

If the relevant project and announcement conditions are met, mobility can be carried out under Erasmus+ without financial support, while maintaining the same academic and administrative responsibilities.

Applications can be submitted for multiple mobility types simultaneously, but prioritization and point deduction rules will be applied, so the evaluation criteria in the announcement should be carefully reviewed before applying.

Yes, if the total mobility period and the conditions of the announcement are met at the relevant educational level, a re-application can be made. Previously completed or qualified mobility experiences will result in a reduction in the evaluation score.

The total duration of Erasmus+ student mobility programs within the same educational level generally cannot exceed 12 months. However, for single-level programs such as Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Veterinary Medicine, the total duration can extend up to 24 months.

No. A valid application only means your application will be considered. Selection and placement results are determined according to the criteria, quotas, and other rules stated in the announcement.

These statuses are explained in the relevant announcement and placement results. Primary candidates are those who have qualified to participate in funded mobility, reserve candidates are on the waiting list for vacant spots, and non-funded candidates may be able to participate in mobility without funding if conditions permit. Candidates marked "not accepted" are those who did not make it onto the reserve list. Candidates marked "rejected" are those who submitted invalid or incorrect applications.

Learning mobility is when a student completes part of their studies at a higher education institution abroad that has an Erasmus+ inter-institutional agreement with Sivas Cumhuriyet University.

No. Learning mobility can only be carried out at institutions that have an Erasmus+ inter-institutional agreement valid for the student's department/field and that have available quotas for the relevant semester.

Current inter-institutional agreements and suitable academic fields should be reviewed on the Erasmus+ Institutional Coordinator's agreements page. Before making a choice, the department, level of study, quota, and language requirements of the agreement should be checked.

The nomination process is the official nomination of a student, selected for the Erasmus+ learning mobility program, by Sivas Cumhuriyet University to the host university. The student then completes any application procedures requested by the host institution. The host institution reserves the right to reject the student without giving any reason. In this case, the nominee cannot claim any rights from our Coordination Office.

No. Being accepted to our university does not negate the application and admission process of the other university. The other institution will review the necessary documents and complete the admission process separately. The other institution reserves the right to reject the student without giving any reason. In this case, the candidate cannot claim any rights from our Coordination Office.

Following the nomination process, the host university will inform the student or the Erasmus+ Institutional Coordinator about the application procedure and required documents. It is the student's responsibility to complete the application form and submit all required documents on time.

The acceptance letter is a document indicating that the host institution has accepted the student for the mobility program. The format and method of issuing the document may vary depending on the host institution. The host institution reserves the right to withdraw the acceptance and cancel the mobility program before it begins, after sending the acceptance letter to the candidate. In this case, the candidate cannot claim any rights from our Coordination Office.

The Learning Agreement is the fundamental Erasmus+ document outlining the courses a student will take during their mobility period and the plan for the academic recognition of these courses. Courses should be planned in consultation with the relevant academic coordinator and approved by all parties involved.

Students can research course options; however, for academic suitability and recognition, the Learning Agreement must be prepared in collaboration with the relevant department/academic Erasmus+ coordinator. The document is not considered final until all necessary approvals are obtained.

OLA is an abbreviation for Online Learning Agreement. EWP, on the other hand, is a comprehensive system that helps higher education institutions conduct Erasmus+ processes digitally through the Erasmus Without Paper infrastructure. The method used may vary depending on the system integration of the partner institution and the university.

According to Article 25/1 of the Sivas Cumhuriyet University Associate and Undergraduate Education, Teaching and Examination Regulations, the course load for a semester in long-term learning mobility cannot be less than 30 ECTS credits. In accordance with the Higher Education Council's Bologna Framework, ECHE compliance rules, and the internal regulations of the Erasmus+ Institutional Coordinator, a semester must consist of exactly 30 ECTS credits. The total credits for courses taken and recognized at both the sending (home) and receiving (host) higher education institutions must be 30 ECTS for each university. The academic suitability and recognition method of the courses must be determined on the Learning Agreement prior to the mobility.

A one-to-one course name match is not always possible. The key is for a suitable course plan, in terms of learning outcomes and academic program, to be approved by the relevant academic coordinator and for the recognition plan to be determined prior to the mobility period.

Course changes may be made if necessary. Changes must be updated on the Academic Approval Form and Learning Agreement within the relevant timeframes, and approvals from all relevant parties must be completed.

Failure to attend classes will be assessed in terms of academic recognition and Erasmus+ obligations. Students are expected to attend classes, take exams, and fulfill academic obligations as defined in the learning agreement during their mobility period. Absences and course failures may result in a reduction or reimbursement of the student's grant, as specified in the grant agreement.

Extension is not an automatic right. It requires approval from the partner institution, Sivas Cumhuriyet University, and the relevant academic units, provided that the project duration, quota, grant, and academic calendar conditions are suitable. The request should be made as early as possible; however, submitting a request does not imply acceptance of the extension. Extensions are generally not implemented by our Coordination Office in order to provide equal opportunities to all candidates. If an extension is implemented, the relevant participants will be notified.

If an early return is necessary due to a compelling or justifiable reason, the situation must be reported to the Erasmus+ Institutional Coordinator without delay. The duration of the activity, grant, and academic processes will be re-evaluated according to the relevant rules. Long-term student mobility must be a minimum of 60 days, and short-term student mobility a minimum of 5 days. If the mobility period falls below these limits, and unless there is a force majeure event, the mobility will be cancelled and a refund will be issued. The acceptance of force majeure is at the discretion of the Coordinator.

A Transcript of Records is an academic transcript showing the courses taken, credits earned, and grades achieved at the host university. It is used in post-mobility academic recognition processes.

The certificate of participation is a document confirming the student's mobility start and end dates. The name and format of the document may vary depending on the host institution or the specific project.

Prior to the mobility period, a recognition process is conducted for academic studies approved by the Learning Agreement and successfully completed. Final recognition is granted by the relevant academic unit based on the transcript and certified documents from the host institution.

Documents required before, during, and after the mobility period must be submitted using the method specified in the relevant announcements, notices, and TURNAPortal processes. The current document upload method should always be checked against the relevant process description.

Erasmus+ internship mobility allows students to complete an internship abroad at a suitable company, research institute, laboratory, institution, or organization related to their academic field of study. This mobility can be undertaken even if the student's program does not include a mandatory or voluntary internship requirement.

Finding an internship placement is primarily the student's responsibility. Students should research suitable institutions related to their academic field and manage the application process themselves; any different support mechanisms specific to the announcement or project will be announced separately.

In traineeship mobility, unlike study mobility, an inter-institutional higher education agreement is not always required. However, the institution where the traineeship will take place must be a suitable organization according to Erasmus+ rules, and the activity must be related to the student's academic field. Some institutions may require an inter-institutional agreement, even if it is not mandatory.

An internship acceptance letter is a document that confirms the student's acceptance by the hosting institution to complete an internship within a specific date range and with specific tasks. It must conform to the format and content requirements specified in the announcement.

If specified in the relevant job posting and evaluation criteria, submitting a valid internship acceptance letter during the application process may earn you extra points. Check the evaluation table for the job posting you are applying to for applicable requirements.

Erasmus+ traineeship mobility cannot be undertaken after graduation. Eligible students must complete their activities while they are still students and before their graduation date.

Whether an internship is recognized as a mandatory internship depends on the academic decision of the relevant department/program. Before applying for and starting your mobility program, you should clarify the academic recognition format of your internship by consulting with your department.

Long-term Erasmus+ student traineeship mobility must have a physical activity duration of at least 2 months. The maximum duration to be funded may also be limited on a project or in the announcement.

The Learning Agreement for Traineeships is the fundamental Erasmus+ document that outlines the traineeship's tasks, learning outcomes, work plan, monitoring methods, and recognition arrangements.

Appropriate insurance arrangements covering the duration of internship mobility should be made. In addition to health insurance, coverage such as accident and personal liability insurance may also be required depending on the nature of the internship. Current requirements should be checked against relevant guidelines and contract documents.

Yes. The host institution may provide financial or in-kind support independently of the Erasmus+ grant, within its own rules. The student should clearly clarify the terms of acceptance and the contract with the host institution.

If the internship tasks or learning objectives change significantly, this should be discussed with the host institution and the relevant academic coordinator. Necessary changes should be updated promptly on the Learning Agreement for Traineeships.

Except in cases of force majeure, it is not possible to change the institution/organization/company where the internship mobility is carried out.
