21.01.2026
Pamukkale University (PAU) continues its efforts to advance the internationalization of not only faculties but also vocational schools without slowing down. In this context, a seminar series titled “The Gateway to the World: Erasmus+ and PAU’s International Journey” has been launched to enable Vocational Schools to benefit more effectively from Erasmus+ programs.

The seminar series, initiated under the leadership of Pamukkale University Rector Mahmud Güngör, aims to inform vocational school students as well as academic and administrative staff about Erasmus+ opportunities and to increase international mobility. The seminars consist of two separate sessions offering comprehensive content for both students and staff.

In the first session, students enrolled in vocational schools are informed about Erasmus+ study and internship mobility opportunities offered by Pamukkale University. Information is provided on application processes, grant opportunities, and the academic and personal benefits of studying abroad, and students’ questions are answered.

In the second session, information is provided for academic and administrative staff. This session covers opportunities offered within the scope of Erasmus+ teaching and training mobility, while also sharing encouraging information particularly aimed at increasing the number of international agreements for academic staff working in vocational schools.

Within the scope of the seminar series, events were successfully held during the 2025 Fall Semester at Çivril Vocational School, Sarayköy Vocational School, and Denizli Vocational School of Social Sciences. In the Spring 2026 Semester, similar seminars are planned to be organized at other vocational schools located in different districts affiliated with Pamukkale University.

Through these seminars, it is aimed to increase the international visibility of vocational schools, strengthen student and staff mobility, and significantly contribute to Pamukkale University’s internationalization goals.
