YTU, with the exchange programs it offers to its students and staff, aims to raise its members as world citizens by increasing global awareness. Through a strong commitment to international mobility, YTU provides its community with valuable opportunities to experience different cultures, educational systems, and perspectives. The university is recognized as the leading institution in Türkiye in terms of the number of students benefiting from the Erasmus+ program. In addition to its well-established partnerships within the European Union, YTU also engages in academic and cultural cooperation with countries outside the EU.

These efforts strengthen intercultural dialogue and support YTU’s vision of becoming a more open, connected, and internationally active university.
