Internationalism

Ondokuz Mayıs University puts emphasis on the internationalization process and provision of necessary information, technology, communication, and human resources against increasing competition in education in order to make progress in a rapidly globalizing world and to be recognized in international platforms. For this purpose, internationalization is one of the main objectives of Ondokuz Mayıs University; enhancement of the quality of education and research is also of the utmost importance for the international employability of graduates. Our university aims to create a campus area in which international interaction and communication are at the top level and to encourage the students and staff to experience international cultures and educational environments. Bologna Process has acted as an accelerator for establishing an understanding of quality assurance and sustainable development. The Bologna Process aims to create a consistent and competitive “European Higher Education Area” based on mutual understanding and complementarity among European countries. This process, which is rapidly growing and dynamic, is not an adaptation of a new system; in fact, it is a movement of “innovation in education” that unifies existing systems.

Within the framework of the Bologna Process, our university makes continuous efforts to develop academic programs in order to enhance the quality of education and research and to increase the quantity and quality of international mobility. Every year, an increasing number of incoming and outgoing students benefit from mobility programs like Erasmus and Mevlana. In addition to the mobility programs, academic cooperation protocols also open the way for developing international cooperation. Our University has 434 Erasmus Agreements with European universities and 206 non-European universities, a total of 677 Erasmus Agreements with 262 universities from 52 countries. Additionally, it has signed Mevlana protocols with 36 countries.

The number of international degree students studying at Ondokuz Mayıs University is increasing every year as an indicator of our objective of creating an international campus. Today, Ondokuz Mayıs University is one of the leading universities in Türkiye, with approximately 5265 foreign students from over 120 countries.

Ondokuz Mayıs University started to hold the International Student Entrance Examination (OMU-ISE) as of 2011-2012, which is the first in Türkiye.
