What is the Farabi Exchange Program?

The Student and Faculty Member Exchange Program between Higher Education Institutions, which is briefly called "Farabi Exchange Program", is an exchange program for students and faculty members between higher education institutions that provide education at the associate, undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels within universities and institutes of high technology.

The Farabi Exchange Program aims for students or faculty members to continue their education and training activities in a higher education institution outside their home institution for one or two semesters.

> The principles regarding the implementation of the Farabi Exchange Program are detailed in the Regulation and Principles and Procedures.
