Farabi is a student and faculty exchange program among higher education institutions. Similar to Erasmus, Farabi aims to facilitate exchange between higher education institutions located within national borders. Associate degree, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral students enrolled in higher education institutions offering full-time education within Turkey’s borders are eligible to participate in the Farabi program. (Faculty exchange has been suspended effective the 2011–2012 academic year, pursuant to a decision by the Council of Higher Education.)

Farabi (871–950)
He was born in 871 in the city of Farab, Turkestan. He traveled to major centers of learning of the time, such as Bukhara, Baghdad, Damascus, Cairo, Harran, and Aleppo. He wrote works in the fields of philosophy, mathematics, logic, political science, and music. In the Islamic world, he enjoys a reputation comparable to that of Aristotle—known as Muallim-i Evvel (the First Teacher)—and is referred to as Muallim-i Sani (the Second Teacher). In the Western world, he is known as “Alpharabius.” He passed away in Damascus in 950.
