UNILAG Erasmus+ KA171 Student Mobility: Fully Funded Semester in Türkiye at Istanbul Kültür University
If you're a UNILAG undergraduate in one of ten eligible programmes, this is a real, fully funded opportunity to spend a semester studying in Türkiye, with your flights and living costs covered.
The Office of Global Engagement and Strategic Partnerships (OGESP), University of Lagos, invites eligible UNILAG undergraduate students to apply for the Erasmus+ KA171 International Credit Mobility Programme at Istanbul Kültür University (IKU), Türkiye, for the Spring Semester of the 2026/2027 Academic Year.
What Is Erasmus+ KA171?
Erasmus+ is the European Union's programme for education, training, youth, and sport. KA171 is its International Credit Mobility strand, which funds short-term student and staff exchanges between EU universities and partner institutions outside the EU, in this case, between Istanbul Kültür University in Türkiye and UNILAG in Nigeria. This specific opportunity is for the Spring Semester of the 2026/2027 academic year.
Which Programmes Are Eligible?
The opportunity is open only to students enrolled in these ten programmes:
- Business Administration
- International Trade
- International Relations
- Computer Engineering
- Electrical & Electronics Engineering
- Industrial Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Architecture
- Interior Architecture & Environmental Design
- English Language & Literature
If your programme isn't on this list, you're not eligible for this particular exchange round.
What Does It Cover?
Selected students will receive:
- €800 monthly grant for four months, totalling €3,200
- €1,188 travel support for the round-trip journey between Lagos and Türkiye
This is a genuinely funded exchange, not a self-sponsored or partial scholarship. Both your stipend and your flights are covered.
Is This a Grant or a Loan?
It's a grant, not a loan. There's no repayment involved. It's a mobility stipend plus travel support, tied to a semester of study at the partner university.

Tips for a Strong Application
Write a genuine, specific motivation letter. Since this is explicitly requested as a document, connect your programme of study to why this particular exchange at IKU matters for your academic and career path.
Keep your CGPA and remaining study load clearly documented. Both the 2.50/4.00 minimum and the 30 ECTS requirement are firm, checkable criteria, so confirm your current standing with your department before applying.
Get your transcript request started early. Academic transcripts can take time to process through university administration, so don't leave this until close to the deadline.
Keep your CV focused and relevant. Highlight academic achievements, relevant coursework, and any prior international or cross-cultural experience.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying from a programme outside the ten eligible courses.
- Applying with a CGPA below 2.50/4.00.
- Applying without enough remaining study load (at least 30 ECTS or equivalent per semester).
- Waiting until close to October 30, 2026 to start gathering documents.
- Submitting a generic motivation letter that doesn't speak to this specific opportunity.
