Scholarships awarded for undergraduate degrees are assured for a period of five (5) years, regardless of students’ academic success. The exception from this rule are students on 100% scholarship, who must maintain minimum level of CGPA at 3.00.
Practical training/internship period is defined as a student’s work-based learning created by an employer, which provides mentoring and training in line with the individual student-intern’s study program and career goals. It can be performed in companies, non-government organizations, government offices, institutes, medical facilities, or any other institutions that can provide the student with the experience and potential to achieve the learning outcomes set in the syllabus for that practical training/internship course.
Exchange programs are designed in such a way to provide students and academic staff with an opportunity to study, teach and do research at a university abroad. Students pay no tuition fee to the host university if they participate in the Erasmus+ and Mevlana exchange programs. See the list of all currently open calls for the exchange programs.
