• What is a Blended Intensive Program (BIP)?

A BIP combines online (virtual) and in-person (physical) mobility, allowing students to engage in a mix of online classes, seminars, and activities, followed by a short-term exchange at Sabancı University. This innovative format offers flexibility, fosters international collaboration, and provides students with a rich, intercultural academic experience. BIP could be in any level of study (Bachelor / Master or PhD)

How to create a BIP?

  • At least 3 universities from 3 different Erasmus program countries should develop and implement the BIP. Coordinator University could be host institution at the same time.
  • Minimum 10 participants from project partners should travel to host university.
  • Sabancı University has a organizational support budget of 6000€ as a coordinator university and SU can host a BIP.
  • Duration of the program: Physical mobility from 5 days to 30 days; no eligibility criteria is set for the duration of the compulsory virtual component but the combined virtual and physical mobility must award a minimum of 3 ECTS credits for students.
  • The BIP should be completed no later than 31/07/2026
