Yeditepe University International Exchange and Cooperation Office

Yeditepe believes that sharing experiences is the best way to promote Erasmus mobility. As the Erasmus Office, we are planning to organize seminars for the potential outgoing students to inform them about the outcomes of Erasmus mobility. The guest speakers would consist of former Erasmus students so that they can share their mobility experiences, both for study and internship. The idea is to organize different events for different countries, providing life experiences for each country.

Another way to promote Erasmus activities is by using the office's social media accounts to share the memories of former Erasmus students. Recently social media accounts are the easiest and fastest way to contact students. That's why our institute developed a new marketing strategy to include social media more often. We hold interviews with our incoming students about their experience in Turkey and Yeditepe. Sharing these interviews on social media accounts and keeping these accounts interactive by replying to comments and messages is a recent approach to promote Erasmus activities.

We organize seminars with the faculty coordinators, explaining to them how the Erasmus mobility works, both for studies and internship. We appraise the coordinators about the full-recognition so they would inform and lead the students correctly. Students are highly likely to keep the advice of their coordinators and attend mobility.
