Historical sites, AEGEAN REGION
Turks started to settle in Anatolia during the period of the

Great Seljuk Empire in the early 11th century. Anatolia has
been called the "cradle of civilizations". With its four seasons,
its flora comprising of thousands of species, its fertile lands,
Turkey has been home to some of the earliest civilizations of
the world. These include the Hatis, Hittites, Phrygians, Urar-
tians, Lydians, Ionians, Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Byzan-
tines, Seljuks and Ottomans. Traces of these civilizations can
still be seen in many remarkable ancient sites located in all re-
gions of the country. Indeed, Turkey can be even regarded as
an open museum. Two of the Seven Wonders of the World are
in Turkey: The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus and The Mau-
soleum at Halicarnassus. Many of the countrys famous his-

After the decline of the Ottoman Empire after World War I,

Atatrk founded the Republic of Turkey in 1923. After a se-
ries of reforms initiated with the foundation of Republic, the
roots for Modern Turkey were established.

the only country among Islamic countries to practice secularism.

he Academic year generally starts in mid-September and
ends in mid June, with a 2-4 weeks winter term break in Jan-
uary /February. Some universities also run summer schools
during the months of July and August.
Turkish universities are in line with the Bologna Process in many aspects:
for example, Turkish universities have been using a three-cycle system
since early 1970s. A typical bachelor degree can be earned in 4 years.
Graduate programs consist of masters and doctoral programs and are
coordinated by institutes for graduate studies. Master's programs are
specified as "with thesis" and "without thesis". Access to doctoral
Clock Tower, ZMR programs requires a master's degree. However, in certain disciplines,
such as medical science, veterinary medicine, and dentistry, a degree
can be achieved in either 5 or 6 years minimum.
Turkey has adopted the escalation of higher education in terms of

both quality and quantity as a major developmental goal. Some Turk-
ish universities have very strong international links. They have been
carrying out various international projects and student exchanges for
years. After the establishment of the Turkish National Agency in 2003,
Turkish Universities have started participating in the EU Erasmus
programme. Many Turkish Universities have been actively involved in
ECTS work. Since 1 April 2004, Turkey has fully participated in
Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci and Youth community programmes. In
the last two years, great interest has been evident about activities in
Turkish Universities in terms of student and teaching staff mobility
[check]. That trend is expected to continue and even increase dramat-
ically in the coming years. The Erasmus mobility figures can be seen in
the table below:

here.
Different reasons made me decided to spend one year abroad:

one of them is that I wanted to change! Air, environment, les-
sons so why would not change the country? Lets do it!
Also I had heard really good reports about other students ex-
periences, as it opened their mind, they learnt a lot about
themselves and others, country, culture So lets try it too.
When I left France to come to Turkey, I really did not know

what I would discover here. I had no idea about the country,
the population, the university and so on.
Well, I can say that all my wishes were fulfilled! Everything was
so new, different just amazing! It is a real chance to live with
Turkish people, and not just be there as a tourist. Indeed Turk-
ish culture is so rich. I am speaking about food, history, geo-
graphical and political issues, religion, disparities in life styles
(it is very interesting to compare some families who are living
with old Ottoman culture and new students generation who
are more modern but also very different than in Europe). I love
travelling in Turkey. Everywhere, I learn.
Computing
M
any universities provider students
with access to high speed internet
connections and have up-to-date
computer labs while computers are also
available in each department. When students
register for the semester, they need to sign
up for a computer account as well. They then
get a password and an e-mail account. Stu-
dents can register for their courses online at
many universities.
Orientation
Programmes
Almost all universities organise orientation programmes
for incoming students to show them around the campus
and the city. They can also take cultural courses as well as
benefit from tips offered on how to survive and enjoy
themselves in the city. During this programme, local stu-
dents help incoming ones until they settle down at the
university.
Library

Each university has its own library storing relevant books and
periodicals. However, many universities subscribe to databanks
which provides access to tens of thousands of periodicals. The
universities benefit from an inter library-loan system which
facilitates lending or borrowing books from other libraries
throughout Turkey. Students may wish to search online library
catalogues of the university and can reserve books via the in-
ternet. In big cities, students may wish to visit other universi-
ties and their libraries for study purposes.
Accommodation
Campus universities generally offer all sorts of accommoda-

tion facilities. State-owned dormitories are also available in
some cases. Many universities have set aside seats for interna-
tional students in their dormitories. Prices of such forms of
accommodations are often cheaper than in many European
countries.
Students who wish to live off-campus can co-share flats with

their friends. Rents vary according to the city and the district.
The Office for International Students helps incoming students
to find reasonable and suitable accommodation.
T
he official language of Turkey is Turkish (Trke)
which is not an Indo-European language. It belongs
to the Altay branch of the Ural-Altay linguistic fam-
ily. The Turkic languages constitute a language fam-
ily of some thirty languages; this is the 7th most widely spoken
language among the thousands of languages spoken in the
world and is spoken across a vast area from Eastern Europe to
Siberia and Western China with an estimated 200 million
speakers, including native and tens of millions of second- lan-
guage speakers [check; are you talking about the language or
the language system?]. More than 90 percent of all contempo-
rary speakers of Altaic languages speak a Turkish language.
The people of this region were nomads and Turks, too, for
centuries led nomadic lives and took their language along
wherever they moved. The Turkish language family now
stretches from the Mongolian lands and China in the East to
present-day Turkey. The Turkish language at present is widely
spoken in the following countries and regions: Turkey, North-
ern Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Turkistan,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Western China. In ad-
dition, Turkish is spoken by several million emigrants in the Eu-
Language ropean Union. It is also spoken in Balkan countries such as the

Republic of Macedonia, some parts of Greece, Bulgaria, Ro-
mania, Hungary, Nagorno Karabagh, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Al-
bania, Kosovo etc.
A major change in the language took place in 1928 when a

Latin- based alphabet was adopted instead of the Arabic script.
Now the Turkish alphabet has 29 letters, 8 of which are vow-
els and 21 are consonants. The Turkish language is written
phonetically, that is to say, every letter is pronounced while
reading.

A number of Turkish universities have been selected by the
Turkish National Agency to organise Erasmus Intensive Lan-
guage Course where students can learn Turkish to help them in
their everyday communication. Interest in learning Turkish is
growing rapidly among incoming Erasmus students. For exam-
ple, during summer 2006, 165 students enrolled in these
courses, whereas in the previous year the figure was 107. How-
ever, many universities offer courses in foreign languages,
chiefly English, partially or completely. Therefore, international
students may not find it difficult to get by at the universities.
Nevertheless, knowledge of Turkish could prove to be useful to
talk to local people and when you go shopping. One must re-
member though that cities like Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir and
other tourist spots will pose no problems to people who do
not know Turkish.
iKfte
T
urkey is internationally famous for its rich "cuisine".
The food served, however, will vary from geograph-
ical region to region. One can only conclude that
the evolution of the rich and varied cuisine was not
an accident. As was the case with other grand cuisines of the
world, the delectable and different dishes that can be tasted
are the result of the combination of three key elements: a nur-
turing environment; regional differentiation; and the legacy
of an imperial tradition. Hundreds of cooks specializing in dif-
ferent types of dishes, all eager to please the royal palate, no
Brek doubt played their part in perfecting the Cuisine that we can
savour today. The Palace Kitchen, supported by a complex so-
cial structure, a vibrant urban life, specialization of labour,
trade, and total control of the Spice Road led to the evolution
of a splendid culinary culture in the capital of a mighty Empire.
Moreover, since the Turkish State of Anatolia is a millennium

old its cuisine, too, is rich historically. Tradition is the key; as
Ibn'i Haldun wrote, "the religion of the King, in time, becomes
Food that of the People", an observation which also holds for the
King's food. Thus, the reign of the Ottoman Dynasty during
600 years, and a seamless cultural transition into present-day
modern Turkey has led to the evolution of a grand Cuisine
through differentiation, refinement and perfection of dishes,
as well as their sequence and combination of meals.
It is only rarely that all the three conditions listed above meet
as they do in French, Chinese and Turkish Cuisine. Turkish Cui-
sine also benefits from being at the cross-roads of Far-East and
Mediterranean food habits. All these unique characteristics
and history have bestowed upon Turkish Cuisine a rich and
varied number of dishes, which can be prepared and combined
with other dishes in meals of almost infinite variety, but always
in a non-arbitrary way. This has led to development of regional
cooking styles. Needless to say, Turkish Cuisine is an integral
aspect of the nations culture and part of the rituals of every-
day life. It reflects spirituality, in forms that are specific to it,
through symbolism and practice .

In all universities good quality food is available at reasonable

prices. Cafes or restaurants around campuses or at the city cen-
tres provide options for eating out. Students may also prefer to
do their own cooking. They may shop in local markets which
offer a variety of healthy, fresh food at very reasonable prices.

aged people because of her sentimental songs. Another popular singer
Sertab Erener has brought the first-ever Eurovision Song Contest Award
to Turkey in 2003 and the song Everyway That I Can became a sum-
mer smash across Europe that year.
In addition to popular music, Classical Turkish Music and Turkish Folk

Almost all branches of sports and arts are played in Turkey.
The country has characteristics of four climates which allow
people to enjoy various sports. Universities offer all sorts of
sports and recreation facilities to their students. International
students may take part in sports activities on their own or can
join any one of the student group events. The favourite sport
is football and it is enjoyed throughout the country. One of the
most famous derbies in the world is that between two Turkish
clubs: Fenerbahce and Galatasaray. Hakan kr is one of the
most famous Turkish football players in the globe. Famous
Turkish players who now play in many European football clubs
include Fatih Tekke, Emre Belzolu, Nihat Kahveci, and
Yldray Batrk. However, basketball is also quite popular and
a number of Turkish international basketball players play reg-
ularly in NBA League, for example, Hidayet Trkolu, Mehmet
Okur and Hseyin Beok.
Students may enrol in arts courses that are offered as part of

the academic programs of some universities and may get the
opportunity to learn about traditional arts and culturural events
through them such as Turkish music, architecture, and decora-
tive arts like ebru etc.

Students are advised to buy a health insurance package which will cover
health expenses that they may incur during their study in Turkey. All
higher education institutions have medical centres where they treat stu-
dents for minor illness. Some universities even have medical faculties
and hospitals where students are treated free of charge. However,
whether an Erasmus incoming student can be treated in these hospi-
tals free of charge has to be ascertained by consulting the rules of part-
ner institutions.
Visa
International students from certain countries must obtain a valid stu-
dent visa from the nearest Turkish Consulate in their country. They
should make sure that there is enough time for the Embassy/Consulate
staff to issue visas. The passport expiry date should be later than the
time that a person intends to stay in Turkey. A full list of Turkish Em-
bassies or Consulates can be found at the end of this booklet. This visa
is required for registration at the university and must be obtained before
entering Turkey.
However if a student wishes to stay longer than the period stated above,
they need to apply for a student visa at the Turkish embassies or Con-
sulates in the respected countries prior to departure.

CITY
Zirve University is located in Gaziantep, southern
Turkey. Gaziantep is probably the site of the Hel-
lenistic city of Antiochia ad Taurum (Antioc-
hia in the Taurus Mountains). A few km on the
north are the ruins of Greek and Roman Doliche
(Turkish:Dlk). Gaziantep is one of the most de-
veloped provinces of the region and is also one of
the oldest, its history reaching as far back as the
Hittites. The surroundings of the city are also full
