Higher education student and staff mobility project

Description

Osmaniye Korkut Ata University is a young and dynamic university which was established in 2007 as a state university. Since it was established, it has given big significance to internalisation at home for variousreasons. As a rapidly growing university, it has been located in its new and modern campus with the number of nearly 15.000 students. This rapid change and development is also maintained with including and participating in different exchange programmes which enable students and staff to study or work in an international platform and gain practical skills and professional experiences. In this frame; Erasmus + has asignificance meaning for Osmaniye Korkut Ata University. Since 2011, the number of outgoing student and staff has increased year by year with a full perfomance by using the budget effectively. So far, OsmaniyeKorkut Ata University has never refund grant back, on the other hand more students and staff have been utilized in the programme than the number of the participants declared in the contract. Here, the aim is notto send a huge number of participants but to perform well-qualified and fully respect to the rules released by European Commission during the implementation process . Briefly; it demonstrates the internationalisation and its impact in our institution. The profile of the students participated in the programme are generally from all different cycles and nearly equal numbers from different departments. The profile of the staff, both academically and administratively, are also composed of different departments and faculties. As the IRO, here we can see the penetration of the programme through university. It can be said that different departments were able to benefit from the program equally at the institution. This is what we care during the elaboration and delegation period. Apart from the sending part of the programme, we are actively involved in accepting students and staff from our partner universities. We try to make fruitful cooperations and to maintain and develop our partnership with common projects for the near future. In this frame; first of all we applied for a Higher Education Consortium in 2014 with the universities in our region (Mediterranean). It was one of our projects to gain experience in this field. In the near future; we plan to increase the number of our project partnerships and gain more experience. The project finished with a full performance. The same partner universities came together and applied for the second the Consortium Project and it was confirmed by National Agency (2016). Now, it is going on properly. As the world gets more global, we try to expand our partnership borders more and do exchange ideas. To see the results and the impact of the programme; we have developed some institutional mechanisms to follow our students before and after Erasmus Mobility. Before the mobility, as OKÜ, we offer intensive English language courses for the exchange students which will help students while they are on abroad in many aspects like communication, orientation and respect to other cultures, expressing themselves freely and making the process more meaningful and fruitful for the students. OKÜ has many projects that have been carried out so far. Each project is an opportunity for us to see our weak and strong sides. In this frame; Erasmus+ is also a good point for each university to compare, see and evaluate themselves with different perspectives. We believe that; both in the short term and long term period; students and staff will have the positive effects of the exchange programmes and they will contribute a lot first of all for the humanity, academic fields, cultural tolerance, individual development and world peace.
