Carl Stermann-Lücke ERASMUS Erfahrungsbericht Boğaziçi ERASMUS+ Akademisches Auslandsamt/ Studierendenmobilität International Officeii Erfahrungsbericht Land Gasthochschule Studienfach/OVGU-Studiengang Türkei Boğaziçi Üniversitesi Computer Engineering / Computervisualistik Studienniveau (BA/MA) Aufenthalt von (Monat/Jahr) bis (Monat/Jahr) Bachelor 09/2015 05/2016 Name, Vorname (oder nur Vorname) eMail-Adresse (optional) Carl Stermann-Lücke [email protected] Hello everyone, I’m happy you are interested in Boğaziçi University and how it is (or rather, can be) to study there as an Erasmus student. I hope this report helps you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, I’m happy to help. Please excuse the length of this report, I didn’t have time to make it shorter :) This is why I start with a small summary of the most important points before going into more detail: Summary: Boğaziçi University in Istanbul is primarily known among Turkish people to be a very prestigious elite university. Its medium of instruction is English. It is a state-owned university, meaning it is comparatively cheap to study there and the university provides a lot of services for the students (okay, this might not be true for all state-owned universities). I was one of two students from OvGU to go there in 2015/16, the other one was Alena. Bare in mind that Istanbul is experiencing frequent terrorist attacks, but different people experience different levels of fear and discomfort – so you might be completely fine. Application process at Boğaziçi University: No visa was needed. Expect deadline end of April, though it might be postponed. Documents to be prepared: ◦ Language Certificate for English (e.g. DAAD Sprachzertifikat) ◦ Recommendation Letter by a professor or scientific staff member ◦ Statement of purpose – write why you want to study at Boğaziçi University and why you are qualified to do so Your contact person is (probably still) Jana Stoláriková. Extension is very easy. How to get to Boğaziçi University: Travel by train via Budapest, Belgrade, Sofia. Costs: Starting at 110€ one way. Buy Balkan Flexipass in Belgrade – like Interrail for the Balkan countries including Turkey, but way cheaper. Detour via Sarajevo highly recommended. In Istanbul, use Tram and Metro. Maps are available at every station. More information: http://seat61.com/Turkey.htm Course registration: You can look up courses at http://registration.boun.edu.tr (click “General Services” → “Schedule” → Choose your semester (Fall term is -1) → the “department” the course is offered at and you will get a list). The registration system will be explained on the introductory day. You should be quick in order to get the courses you want. A good consent request opens many doors, so don’t panic. You need to register for all courses, academic, sports, languages, or arts. Second week is add/drop period. If Jana tells you you can’t take a Turkish course, send a consent request anyway. Courses: Between 25 and 30 ECTS should be achievable. All courses (except language classes) taught in English. Most require attendance. Exercise classes are rare. Turkish courses are good, but prior knowledge of Turkish helps a lot. A laptop is necessary. Examination: Different forms of examination Usually more than one examination per course Accommodation and Dining: Find accommodation on Facebook group “Boğaziçi Housing”. Expect to pay around 800-900 Lira per month. Budget not more than a week to find accommodation. Eat in the yemekhane and enjoy! Campus: Computer Engineering is on North Campus. Most courses are on North or South Campus. North and South Campuses are close to each other. South Campus looks like this: https://yandex.com/maps/-/CVXjE-ZQ Free-time activities and public transport: A lot to see and do in Istanbul – follow friends’ advice Public transport available between 6 am and midnight End of the summary, now a bit more detail. Application process at Boğaziçi University: As Computer Engineers, we could apply with Frau Zabel till February 28th, not with Prof. Wäscher. Contrary to everything we had read and been told, we didn’t need a visa (as German passport holders). As far as I know, the rule is that you arrive to Turkey with whatever your passport requires you to have to enter the country as a visitor. Then, once enrolled, you apply for a residence permit. We had a central application day when the citizens office came to the university and we could all hand in our applications. This was mid-October. I received my actual residence permit mid-November, but that was probably a lucky case. For the residence permit I (being privately health covered) needed to provide a proof of health insurance in Turkish by a sworn translator – English was not sufficient. Regulation seems to change frequently, so it’s best to ask your contact person at Boğaziçi Üniversitesi. This is Jana Stoláriková. She is very friendly and also knowledgeable, though at times information she gives becomes void due to change of circumstances shortly after. This is why you should ask her directly with important matters, not just rely on stuff she sent you, as she might have just copied it from last year. I would recommend getting in touch with her. She usually answers promptly, if she is in office. At the time of my application, the international office was migrating to a new electronic system. This meant I didn’t need to post any of my documents to Istanbul, but could upload all of them. However, they needed a bit more time than expected in order to get the new system fully up and running. Originally, I was told that the application deadline was 30.4. - which it could again be for following years – and that I would receive an e-mail with details on the application process in time for that deadline. I received it on the 7 th of May, with a deadline of 26th of May. And I got the confirmation that I was accepted only on the 8th of July. So it can be quite a while living in uncertainty. I have got no clue of how likely the acceptance of the application actually is. Alena and I were the only two applicants that year and we both got accepted. What you should get before or shortly after you hand in your application to Frau Zabel, are a proof of English, a recommendation letter, and a statement of purpose. I got a DAAD language certificate for English from Dr. Kiernan in building 40. The test was done and signed in not more than an hour, if I remember correctly. I made an appointment with him on the day – don’t rely on that though, better get it early. I hope it doesn’t bring him trouble if I write that I didn’t need to pay anything… We can also use a TOEFL (550 + TWE 4.5 for paper-based test, 213 + TWE 4.5 for computer-based test, 79 + TWE 24 internet-based test) or IELTS (6.5) instead. For a recommendation letter, just ask one of your professors or scientific staff members. I got mine from Claudia Krull. She is also responsible for FIN students on exchange. For the statement of purpose, I wrote why I wanted to study at Boğaziçi and why I am a suitable candidate for studying abroad. After a few months, both Alena and I decided we wanted to stay one more semester. Extension was very straightforward, both with the Turkish and the German side. Only the residence permit needed to be applied for again. How to get to Boğaziçi University: I went to Istanbul overland. Among others, the advantages are that I didn’t have to book long in advance, I could spend time and stopover on the way, nobody controlled my luggage limit, I could extend my stay in Turkey without having to take my booked return flight, and it’s not quite as bad for the environment. The cheapest yet direct route is via Budapest, Belgrade and Sofia. Book the ticket to Budapest a few days in advance, as you get saver-fares from Deutsche Bahn. I just decided when I actually want to leave Germany 4 days in advance, and when I bought the ticket I paid 37,50€ for the daytime train (on another occasion, I paid 65€ for the night train, booked a week or so in advance). From Budapest, there is a 15€ Eurocity train service to Belgrade, which you can just buy a ticket for when you reach Budapest. Once there, if you are up to 26 years old, buy a Balkan Flexipass. It costs 53€ for 5 days within a month of free train travel in Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece, Romania, Macedonia, Montenegro and in theory also Bosnia and Herzegovina (I tried to buy a pass in Sarajevo, but they didn’t sell it at the train station). Well, it is not exactly free, since you need to book accommodation on overnight trains – or this might have changed because of the new daytime train from Belgrade to Sofia (actually coming all the way from Moscow!!!) and the mess with the railways on the Turkish side. But still, it is a lot cheaper than point-to- point-tickets, particularly as you can make a detour or travel around in Turkey. Up to Istanbul, you can book your trains on the day of travel (unless you take an early morning train, maybe). These days, unfortunately, the train service from Sofia to Istanbul is a bus between the border and Istanbul, which might change till when you are going inşallah! It is a bit exhausting, but you can still use your Balkan Flexipass.

  • Chapter 3 Road Network and Traffic Volume
    The Study on Integrated Urban Transportation Master Plan for Istanbul Metropolitan Area in the Republic of Turkey Final Report Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Road Network and Traffic Volume 3.1 Road Network 3.1.1 Inter-regional Road Network 1) Existing Road Turkey is situated at the transit corridor between South-east Europe and the Middle East. Since “The Declaration for The Construction of International Arteries” (AGR) prepared by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) in 1950 in Geneva, Turkey has developed international corridors connecting it to Southern Europe, because the international road network of AGR included an extension to Turkey. According to the provisions of AGR, two arteries should reach Turkey as E-Road. These are E-80 entering from the Bulgarian border (Kapikule) and E-90 entering from the Greek border (Ipsala). These two main routes link the International Road Network of Europe with the Middle East and Asia at southern and eastern borders of Turkey via Anatolia. Source: KGM, Ministry of Transportation Figure 3.1.1 International Road Network through Turkey, 2007 In addition to the E-Roads, the Trans-European Motorway (TEM) project is ongoing and it covers the whole country as an expressway network. The TEM highway network in Turkey starts from Edirne at the Bulgarian border and passes through Istanbul via the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge and parts into two branches in Ankara going eastward and southward. Its eastern branch again parts into two branches in Askale. One of them reaches Trabzon in the Black Sea Region, and the other ends in Gurbulak at the Iranian border.
