FUTA Erasmus+ KA171 Mobility Program: 5-Month Master’s Exchange in Turkey
FUTA Erasmus+ KA171 International Mobility: Academic Exchange at Karabük University
The International and Strategy Office of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), has officially opened applications for the Erasmus+ KA171 Project for the 2025/2026 academic session. This prestigious initiative offers a five-month student learning mobility opportunity, allowing selected Master’s students to study at Karabük University in Turkey. The program is designed to foster international academic collaboration and provide students with global exposure in high-demand technical fields, enhancing their research capabilities and cultural perspectives within a European-standard educational framework.
The call for applications is specifically targeted at a niche group of postgraduate scholars within the university. Eligibility is restricted to newly enrolled Master’s students in the 2025/2026 session belonging to the Departments of Information Systems, Computer Science, and Computer Engineering. To be considered for this competitive exchange, applicants must have achieved a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 2.5 during their undergraduate studies. Furthermore, travel readiness is a mandatory requirement, as all applicants must hold an international passport with a validity extending at least six months beyond April 2026 to facilitate the necessary visa and travel arrangements for the Turkish territory.
Interested and qualified candidates are required to follow a specific administrative process for their applications. The university mandates the submission of three hard copies of a comprehensive application dossier. This package must include a detailed and updated Curriculum Vitae, official academic credentials that provide clear evidence of the undergraduate CGPA, and a high-quality photocopy of the data page of the applicant’s international passport. All applications must be formally addressed to the Director of the International Strategy Office and delivered physically on or before the deadline of March 31, 2026.
Participation in the Erasmus+ KA171 project represents a significant academic milestone, offering students access to advanced laboratories and specialized faculty expertise at Karabük University. This mobility not only enriches the student's individual academic portfolio but also strengthens the institutional ties between FUTA and its international partners. For further enquiries or specific clarifications regarding the application requirements, prospective candidates are encouraged to reach out to the Director of the International Strategy Office, Professor B.J. Akinyele. Contact can be made via email at directoriso@futa.edu.ng or through a direct telephone inquiry at +2348037447280.
The university management emphasizes that late submissions will not be considered, and students are advised to ensure their passports meet the specific validity window before applying. This opportunity serves as a gateway for FUTA’s computing and engineering students to integrate into the global scientific community and bring back valuable expertise to the Nigerian technological landscape.
