October 26, 2020

Through the International Credit Mobility project, ORT has been collaborating since 2016 with Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK) in Finland, where students and faculty from both institutions have already participated in academic exchange programs. The new project will offer new students and faculty the opportunity to receive a grant to support academic exchange or mobility.

In addition, for the second consecutive year, ORT has renewed its academic exchange program with Sabanci University in Istanbul, Turkey, where it will have a new spot available for students.

Overall, during the 2020–2023 period, three new spots will be offered (two at TAMK and one at Sabanci) for ORT students to complete their studies at one of these two partner institutions, while ORT will welcome three European students to continue their studies at our university.

Given the global health crisis caused by the COVID-19 virus, ORT will open its internal application rounds in due course for all students interested in applying for these Erasmus+ Program scholarships.
