AKDENIZ UNIVERSITYAKDENIZ UNIVERSITYAKDENIZ UNIVERSITY
Akdeniz University was founded in Antalya in 1982, and provides education and training leading to internationally recognised qualifications in 23 Faculties, 7 Graduate Schools, 4 Schools, 12 Vocational Schools and 1 Conservatory which together provide 457 separate programmes at the level of associate degree, master's degree, doctorate degree, as well as specialisation in medicine, for around 70,000 students.
Akdeniz University attaches the highest importance to internationalization within the changing environment demanded by growing globalisation. Within this context, Akdeniz University aims to develop an internationalization strategy and approach which is appropriate for the provision of education, training, research and service in a systematic way, which will increase the quality of work that we deliver in these fields, and which will in turn strengthen both our regional and global position. Within the framework of its internalization strategy, Akdeniz University provides valuable international education opportunities for its students through participation in the European Union Education and Youth Programmes (Erasmus+ Programme), the Bologna Process, the Mevlana and Farabi Exchange Programmes, as well as the IAESTE Programme and bilateral cooperation activities.

The International Relations Office (IRO) was established to make the best contribution to the internationalisation strategy of Akdeniz University, enabling the effective and sustainable implementation of our internationalization strategies in a way which takes into account the new conditions which have been introduced into the higher education system in the field of internationalization. The IRO is responsible for European Union Education and Youth Programmes, (Erasmus+ Programme), the Bologna Process, the Mevlana and Farabi Exchange Programmes and IAESTE, as well as international cooperation activities with universities abroad and the coordination of international students, and the international activities of the university. The IRO also takes care of services such as the “Eurodesk” Contact Point, which was created as a European Knowledge Transfer Network which can provide information to young people about European opportunities in the education and youth area, and how they can benefit from these opportunities.
This information is addressed to you who are preparing your study period at Akdeniz University in the framework of the ERASMUS+. The Erasmus+ team wishes you a successful time studying and an enjoyable stay in Antalya!

The primary aim of the Psychological Counselling and Guidance Unit is to protect the mental health of students and personnel by means of individual psychotherapy. Psychological Consultation and Guidance Services are undertaken by psychiatrists, psychologists and social services experts.
Psychotherapy treatments can help individuals to feel more able to achieve their goals in life by enabling them to take the control of their emotions, thoughts and actions. The objective is to allow individuals to get to know themselves better, to decrease psychological stress if it is present, to eliminate behavioral disorders, and to enable the positive growth and development of personality.
