The event took place at the IGU Faculty of Fine Arts building, where the educational and internship opportunities offered by the Erasmus+ program were thoroughly discussed. Information was provided regarding the application process, required documents, language proficiency requirements, and selection stages. Additionally, students who had studied abroad through Erasmus+ shared their experiences, offering guidance to participants.
The Erasmus+ program not only provides academic benefits but also helps students gain cultural awareness and a global perspective. Students studying abroad have the opportunity to explore different design approaches in various countries and enhance their skills. Engaging with diverse cultures, improving language proficiency, and establishing international professional connections are among the key advantages of the Erasmus+ program.
As part of its internationalization vision, IGU actively supports the Erasmus+ program, offering students the opportunity to study abroad. The university has partnerships with numerous institutions across Europe, allowing students to study at partner universities for up to two semesters. Additionally, through the Erasmus+ internship program, students can gain professional experience at various institutions across Europe.
For creative fields like graphic design, international experience significantly strengthens students’ portfolios and contributes to their career development. Observing different artistic and design perspectives worldwide helps students develop innovative viewpoints and expand their professional networks.
Students interested in participating in the Erasmus+ program can obtain detailed information from the IGU International Relations Office and start their application process. For students seeking a global educational experience, Erasmus+ serves as a crucial stepping stone in their international career journey.
As Istanbul Gelişim University Faculty of Fine Arts, we extend our gratitude to Res. Asst. Dilara Mataracı for providing comprehensive information about the Erasmus+ program and raising awareness among students.
