Erasmus Opportunities

Hello friends. My name is Bilal ŞANVER. I am a senir student of History at Istanbul 29 Mayıs University. I will talk about my ERASMUS process today. We can divide the process into two. First is the process before you go, the next is after you complete the program. Before going, you have to choose one of the European schools that the university is partners with. We took a language exam first. Then we chose according to our GPA. Our university had agreements with four countries. These are Slovakia, Hungary, Italy and Spain. Spain attracted my attention becuase it includes my study interests. So I went to Spain. I studied in Madrid at Alcala de Henares University for 10 months. The students can be divided into academic and entellectual sources of knowledge. Even if someone does not have research in academic fields, being in Europe, exploring the place and engraving something in their mind intellectually will affect their thoughts directly. That is why being in Spain contributed to my intellectual and academic development. Out of all the choices, students should choose to go to Europe according to their interest fields and benefit from the cultural and academic atmosphere there. The Erasmus program not only offers an academic experience but also a cultural one.Seeing new cities and meeting new people is an important advantage. I also had a chance to see an academic field, new cities and meet new people during the 10 months. This added to my experiences of academic and intellectual life. You can find the opportunity for Erasmus at Istanbul 29 Mayıs University. I advise you all to come to Istanbul 29 Mayıs University and benefit from these opportunities.
