Cost of Living 

Cost of living in Turkey is considerably cheaper than most EU countries. For international 

students, estimated living expenses in Kayseri is 300€ - 400€ per month. Cost of living 

mainly depends on where you stay. There are several accommodation options available 

for international students; staying in a private dormitory close to campus or sharing an 

apartment with Turkish students. For those students that choose private accommodation 

near campus, it is just a short bus ride or within walking distance. No matter where 

students stay, they can easily commute to and from campus by using public 

transportation.

any of the courses they have taken thus far qualify for scholarships. The Credit and 

Dormitories Institution, the Turkish Education Foundation, Erciyes University Foundation, 

Feyzioglu Foundation, the Ministry of Education are the major institutions that grant the 

scholarships. Providing on-campus employment opportunities is the other widely

bookstore.

Practical Information for Mobile Students 

Kayseri, with a population of over a million people; is an industrial and trade center 

located in the middle of Turkey. Kayseri is situated in the heart of Central Anatolia and 

320 km from Ankara (the capital of Turkey). The city is located on a plain between the 

large curves of the Kızılırmak River and the wide skirts of Erciyes Mountain. 

Kayseri is a popular tourism center for skiing and winter sports. Mt. Erciyes (3916 m) is 

an ideal place for climbing and winter sports, located approximately 25 km to the South 

of Kayseri. In the Kayseri area there are many natural wonders such as Ala National 

Park, Kapuzbaşı Waterfalls and Sultan Sazlığı. In nearby Göreme, a popular tourist area 

and Soğanlı Valley, famous for its handmade dolls and historical churches is 80km from 

Kayseri. 

Kayseri is a major transport nexus for the region. You can reach Kayseri by either plane 

or bus. Kayseri Erkilet International Airport (ASR) is approximately 5 kilometers (3 

miles) away from the city center. There are several flights every day to the Istanbul 

airports which are Turkey's premium air transportation hub. During the summer months 

there are some direct flight from European countries to the Kayseri airport. Kayseri has 

a busy bus station with very frequent and convenient coach service to and from Ankara 

and Istanbul as well as other cities in Turkey. The journey from Ankara takes about 5 

hours (316km) and from Istanbul 12 hours (770km). 

Buses and trams provide an excellent and inexpensive means of transportation 

throughout the city. Taxis are an easy, private form of transportation to get around the 

city. Buses are an inexpensive form of public transportation that you can use to travel 

to different parts of the city. Tickets or proximity cards need to be purchased in advance 

from a ticket seller; they are located at various bus stops/ shops throughout the city. 

The climate in Kayseri is typically continental; the summers are long and pleasantly hot 

with cool nights; there is little rainfall or humidity. The winters are cold with some rain 

and snow. 




105




Language Courses 

The EILC course (Erasmus Intensive Language Course) organized by Erciyes University 

International Office is available to students and teaching staff who will be following 

courses at any Turkish University as part of the Erasmus program, and who come from 

the member and candidate countries of the EU, plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. 




106




Internships 

In order to complement his/her theoretical knowledge with practical training, the student 

is obligated to complete an internship program in a firm operating in the service or 

manufacturing sector. Practical training has to be completed within a period no less than 

a month in the summer preceding the student’s senior year. Upon the completion of the 

internship, the student must submit the relevant documents to his/her supervisor. The 

students are obliged to prepare an internship report in which they are expected to 

interpret and evaluate the knowledge and experience they have gained. At the end of the 

practical training period, internship evaluation document is confidentially filled and signed 

by the firm which has employed the student. 




107




Sports and Leisure Facilities 

Students may benefit from indoor and outdoor sports facilities on the campus. The 

Süleyman Demirel Sports Hall is conducive to playing basketball, volleyball, badminton 

and handball. Students have access to the 80th year Atatürk Indoor Football Complex. 

There are also four outdoor tennis courts, four outdoor basketball courts, two indoor 

volleyball courts and four outdoor mini football fields. The semi-olympic sized swimming 

pool complex in the campus and the Skiing Center on Mount Erciyes, approximately 25 

km south of Kayseri, are as well worthy of mention. 

Sports festivals are organized every year under the title of the Rector’s Cup. The teams 

of the faculties also participate in the university games in all fields of sports organized 

nationwide. Basketball and volleyball teams representing the University compete in the 

official Turkish leagues. 




108




Student Association 

No student association in the university. However, there are quite a large number of 

clubs serving the academic, sportive, cultural leisure pursuits of the students. Just to 

mention a few: Fine Arts Club, Architecture Club, Astronomy Club, AEGEE, Scientific 

Research Club, Skiing Club, Korean Culture Club, Ceramic Club, Dance Club, Drama Club, 

Music Club, Chess and Bridge Club, etc.
