Internationalization
As part of its growing internationalization strategy, TEK-UP University actively encourages and supports student mobility through a range of exchange programs with academic partners across Europe, Asia, and beyond. Each year, a selected group of engineering students participate in outgoing exchange programs, allowing them to spend one or two semesters at a partner institution abroad. These mobility experiences are designed to strengthen academic knowledge, intercultural competence, and professional readiness in an international context. Students are selected through a competitive application process based on academic performance, language skills, and motivations.
Main International Events
- Digital Future: organized yearly during November
- TEK-UP Study Trip (TST): organized yearly during January (Turkey) and during July (Germany)
- Digital Congress: organized yearly during April
All details and how to apply are posted in a timely manner on TEK-UP’s social networks and website.
Exchange Semester
The Exchange Semester is an important opportunity offered by the university to broaden students’ academic and cultural horizons. It allows engineering and computer science students to spend one semester at one of our international partner institutions while continuing their studies and earning credits that count toward their degree. This experience is designed to strengthen students’ global perspective, enhance their adaptability, and expose them to new learning environments, technologies, and professional practices.
