Erasmus+, öğrenci ve personel değişimini ve Avrupa çapındaki yüksek öğretim kurumları arasındaki işbirliğini teşvik eden bir programdır. Erasmus+ Programı adını iş ve eğitim için yaptığı seyahatler ile Paris, Leuven ve Cambridge gibi dönemin ana eğitim merkezlerine götüren hümanist ve ilahiyatçı Rotterdamlı Desiderius Erasmus’tan (1465-1536) almıştır. Varlıklarını Basel Üniversitesi’ne miras bırakarak bugün adını taşıyan hareketlilik ödüllerini kurdu. Erasmus programı, hareketliliğe ve kişinin eğitim yoluyla iş fırsatlarını geliştirmesine imkân verir.

İzmir Bakırçay Üniversitesi, Avrupa çapında farklı Kurumlarla Erasmus personel ve öğrenci hareketliliği anlaşmalarına sahiptir ve Erasmus+ Programı kapsamında daha fazla ikili işbirliği anlaşmalarını hedeflemektedir.

İzmir Bakırçay Üniversitesi, öğrencilerinin yabancı bir ülkede tam akademik tanınırlık ile öğrenim görmeleri için her türlü desteği sunmaktadır. Öğrenciler yalnızca kendi üniversitelerinde öğrenim ücreti öderler (ev sahibi kurumlarda öğrenim ücreti ödenmez) ve her ev sahibi kurum/ülke tarafından sunulan eğitim, dil ve kültür planlarından yararlanarak yeni beceriler öğrenebilir, farklı öğretim metodolojilerini deneyimleyebilir ve kişisel ve profesyonel faydalarla uluslararası bir deneyim kazanabilir.

The receiving organisation must be a Programme Country HEI awarded with an ECHE or a Partner Country HEI recognised by competent authorities and having signed an interinstitutional agreement with the sending Programme Country partner before the mobility takes place. 

STA is a daily basis activity and a grant payment is made for the lecture days. For this reason, in the Staff Mobility for Teaching Mobility Agreement a specific teaching program must be indicated on a daily-basis.

The purposes of STA may be summarized as follows:

  • to provide teaching staff with opportunities for personal & professional development
  • to share expertise in specialist areas within teacher education, to deepen mutual understanding of different European Education Systems and to raise the profile of the European Dimension in Education
