METU Chemical Engineering Department Erasmus approval criteria:

1. Students who want to go to the second year must be able to take courses other than technical elective courses at the university they attend.

2. Applications of undergraduate students for Tampere University of Technology are not accepted because the undergraduate programs of the host university are not compatible with the courses in the METU ChE undergraduate curriculum.

3. Erasmus applications of students who want to go in their fourth year can be approved if they meet the minimum 30 ECTS requirement. However, these students must take the fourth-year design courses (ChE 417 and 418) in two consecutive terms. This means that no matter what semester they go, they must take these courses in two consecutive terms in the next academic year after they return.

NOTE: We request our students to prioritize their courses at METU in case of an overlap between the final dates at METU and start of the term in the receiving institution. In case of an overlap, it is possible that an early final exam cannot be given. For such cases the students are recommended to plan to leave after finishing their final exams.
