Preparing Learning Agreement
Incoming students are required to prepare a Learning Agreement document through the OLA (https://learning-agreement.eu/) system. Students are required to write our coordinator Ins. Abdullah Nalbantoğlu (his information below) in the Responsible Person section.
- Students must choose the courses they will take from Sakarya University in consultation with the department coordinators.
- After you have chosen your courses, the home university will sign it from the system after you sign it. Then our coordinator will also sign and your Learning Agreement process will be completed.
If you want to change courses when you come here, you can change your courses through the OLA system and follow the same system.
This agreement has three parts: Before the Mobility, During the Mobility, and After the Mobility.
- Before the Mobility: It is for your intended courses before you start your Erasmus period.
- During the Mobility: This one is for the exceptional changes during add/drop period.
- After the Mobility: This one is for your all courses (with grades) at the end of your Erasmus period.
Before the Mobility
At Sakarya University, we provide instruction on four degree programs (Short, First/Bachelor, Second/Master, and Third/Doctorate Cycle). There is not any restriction for Erasmus students in that if your institution accepts you may choose your courses from any faculty and department.
Moreover, we have free elective courses for all Sakarya University students and Erasmus students. This list consists of not only professional courses, but also social ones such as swimming, photography, gymnastics, badminton, boxing, basketball, and so on. If you want to learn Turkish during your stay, you may also choose Turkish Language Course (TDE 285 for Fall Semester and TDE 286 for Spring Semester).
You can find all the courses taught (for all levels), at this link:

In order to find the updated "Courses", first you should state your degree (Short/Bachelor’/Master’/Doctorate) on the link above. Then you will see the units and the departments. Choose the course you wish to take at Sakarya University and find ECTS credits. (The credit accumulation system used at Sakarya University is ECTS and students accumulate 30 ECTS credits per semester.)
During the Mobility
Sometimes the courses which you have added to your initial agreement are not open or their names/codes have been changed. In that case, you can change your courses when the semester starts. For this, you should fill During the Mobility Section of the Learning Agreement.
Please keep in mind that even if one course on your learning agreement is not open, you need to do the necessary changes to your agreement through the OLA System. Please do not forget to write ECTS credits for each course and the total ECTS.
After the Mobility
Before you leave, we will prepare your Transcript of Records and Confirmation Letter.
