Bursa Uludağ University views internationalization as an essential aspect of its academic and research objectives. Aligned with the national “Internationalization Strategy in Higher Education,” our approach aims to enhance the university’s global engagement and strengthen its position within the international academic community.

As a research university identified by the Turkish Council of Higher Education (YÖK), we place significant emphasis on fostering international research collaborations. By strengthening our partnerships with universities and research institutions worldwide, we aim to diversify our research endeavors, increase our academic output, and enhance our global visibility. 

Located in Bursa, one of Turkey’s leading cities in industry, agriculture, and tourism, our university recognizes the unique opportunities presented by the city’s dynamic environment. As a well-established industrial hub, particularly in automotive, textiles, and technology, Bursa offers an ideal setting for international collaboration. The city’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty, including Uludağ, provide additional avenues for research in tourism, environmental sustainability, and beyond. By aligning our academic efforts with the city’s strengths, we foster global partnerships and invite researchers and scholars to contribute to shared academic and research initiatives.

Central to our internationalization strategy is the expansion of mobility opportunities for both incoming and outgoing students and academic staff through programs such as Erasmus, Secondos, and Orhun. These exchange initiatives allow our academic community to engage with global partners, enrich their professional experiences, and contribute to collaborative research efforts.

In line with our commitment to internationalization, we are also working to increase the number of academic programs offered in foreign languages, particularly in English. This ensures that our programs are accessible to a broader audience, including international students, and prepares our students for global academic and professional opportunities.

Through these efforts, Bursa Uludağ University continues to solidify its position as a leading research institution, contributing to the city’s development and providing its students and faculty valuable opportunities for global academic engagement and research collaboration.
