Marmara University, founded in 1883, is one of the leading institutions in Turkey, with more than 61.000 students, 21 faculties and 8 campuses located on both European and Asian sides of İstanbul, has established a wide-ranging network with international partners, both institutionally and individually.With the responsibility of being located between the Western and the Eastern worlds, Marmara University does not confine its attention to only one part of the global community, but also maintains links with Europe, America, Asia, the Turkic Republics, the Middle East and Africa.
Being a leading university through the ages, Marmara University provides an innovative approach to education with strong international collaborations and aims to educate pioneers with strong international ties.
To maintain this goal, as Office for International Relations and Academic Cooperation, we are involved in the management of Marmara University’s internationalization policy and hence is very much keen on exploring the options of collaboration with Europe, America, Asia, Turkic Republics, Middle East and Africa by means of attending attending international educational fairs such as EURIE, NAFSA, EAIE.
In order to achieve sustainable high standards of international education, Marmara University provides education in 5 different languages.
Besides that, complying with its internationalization policy, the university encourages the establishment of dual/joint degree programs with foreign universities. Consequently, the university has the strategic target to enhance the internalization by increasing the mobility of students, faculty members, administration staff and to develop the research and academic cooperation with global partners.
The International Office is responsible for all cooperation and mobility operations between our university and foreign universities, running under the Erasmus Programme and International Partnerships. The International Office is structured in two sub-units; Mobility Programmes Coordination Office and International Partnerships Coordination Office.
Mobility Programs are organized as follows on operational basis:
