Dear Students,

We are happy to host students from many different countries in our University. We are also proud that you chose our University. Erciyes University, which has been providing education for almost half a century, in the center of Anatolia, which has hosted ancient civilizations, on the foothills of the lofty Erciyes, serves 47,000 students with 2246 academic staff. Besides being a leading trade and industry city, Kayseri is on the way to becoming a center of attraction for education with its 4 universities. You will continue your academic life in a different cultural environment by learning a new language. Being with us at Erciyes University will provide you with academic achievements as well as a guiding life experience. A social life without academic success can never reach its goal. Do not forget that the main purpose of your being here and with us, far from your country, is education.

Having an academic education is not restricted by only taking classes; they are only for guidance. Exams and tests, on the other hand, are only for self-evaluation. Neither high scores on exams nor intensive lessons can replace your effort to learn new things. For this reason, you need to keep your enthusiasm for learning alive and participate in research. During your stay in our country, your good relations and cultural exchange with local students will form the basis of good relations between your countries. Thus, you can contribute to universal culture and also world peace. The lasting friendships you will build here will allow you to understand and experience a different culture. I hope that you will feel yourself at home thanks to those friendships.

We want you to gain unforgettable experiences in Turkey and at Erciyes University. There may be some difficulties you will face in your new life. We will try to help you in every way. We will do this not only as a duty but as a requirement of traditional Turkish hospitality. Do not hesitate to contact our Coordinating Office in any issue that you think will help you.
