At least two semesters prior to the date you wish to begin a program, define your goals and begin researching programs that will best suit you. You can begin by visiting the International Office or Study Abroad Office of your university. There you will have access to a variety of reference materials about METU. When you make your research, you can collect information on:

• application deadlines;

• whether you meet the eligibility and admission requirements;

• costs;

• whether the program includes or arranges for housing, or if it provides any assistance to students who are looking for a place to live;

• other services, such as social activities, provided by the organization running the program or by the host educational institution.

If your university has an Exchange Student Agreement with METU, contact your Study Abroad Office for information about how to come to METU. If your university does not have such an Agreement may apply directly to METU International Cooperations Office, which can always provide you with information and assistance.
