Beyond Borders: My Erasmus+ Journey and How You Can Start Yours

One of our faculty members, Research Assistant Dr Burcu Koç, held an online talk with undergraduate students from Beykent University on Saturday, January 4, 2025.

Dr Koç began the session by introducing herself and sharing her experiences in different European countries, such as the Czech Republic, Italy, and Spain, through the Erasmus+ student exchange program. Drawing on these experiences, she introduced the opportunities offered by Erasmus+ to the participants and posed thought-provoking questions to encourage students to reflect on their motivations for joining the program.

During the talk, Dr Koç highlighted the following key benefits of the Erasmus+ program:

  • Improving foreign language skills,
  • Discovering new cultures and building friendships with individuals from diverse backgrounds,
  • Gaining independence and learning to live on one’s own,
  • Developing problem-solving skills.

Additionally, Dr. Koç shared examples of program alumni who, thanks to their Erasmus+ experience, have achieved high-level positions in various institutions, aiming to inspire the students.

The session concluded with Q&A, followed by expressions of gratitude to Dr Koç and discussions about potential future collaborations.
