About the International Office at Istinye University
We believe that internationalization enhances the quality of education and research, and our main aim is to create an environment that supports creativity, learn-
ing and exploration by offering numerous opportunities for intercultural exchange.
As the International Office, in the framework of Erasmus+, bilateral agreements, and other international agreements, we aim to create opportunities for our stu-
dents, academic and administrative staff to benefit from the advantages of international exchange programs.
To ensure our students can study abroad without any issues, we facilitate communication with leading educational institutions worldwide and manage all pr-
ocesses related to exchange programs. Our responsibilities include corresponding with partner universities, preparing and updating bilateral agreements, follow-
ing the signature process, welcoming international students to our university, and ensuring they have a smooth educational experience in our country.
Our Internationalization Policy
The main condition for modernization in any institution is to establish international partnerships.
In this context, we are moving forward in our education, research, and development activities with the aim of being an institution that affects the society in the national and international arena.
As the International Office, within the framework of our internationalization policy, we give priority to the following issues:
I. Increasing the number of international students and country diversity,
II. Increasing student and staff mobility within the scope of exchange and joint education programs,
III. Increasing the number of cooperation agreements signed with leading international institutions/organizations worldwide,
IV. Following the international accreditation application procedures as part of our diploma recognition efforts.
We believe that, thanks to the care and attention we show to internationalization, Istinye University will take firm steps to secure its place among the world’s leading universities.
