What Is the Farabi Exchange Program?
The Student and Academic Staff Exchange Program Between Higher Education Institutions, commonly known as the Farabi Exchange Program, enables the exchange of students and academic staff among universities and institutes of technology offering associate, undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral degree programs.
The Farabi Exchange Program aims to enable students and academic staff to continue their educational and teaching activities at a higher education institution other than their home institution for one or two semesters.
The principles governing the implementation of the Farabi Exchange Program are set out in detail in the relevant Regulation and Principles and Procedures.
Al-Farabi (871–950)
Al-Farabi was born in 871 in the city of Farab in Turkestan. He travelled to major centres of learning of his time, including Bukhara, Baghdad, Damascus, Cairo, Harran, and Aleppo. He wrote works in philosophy, mathematics, logic, political science, and music.
In the Islamic world, he achieved a reputation comparable to that of Aristotle, who was known as al-Mu‘allim al-Awwal (“the First Teacher”). Al-Farabi was therefore referred to as al-Mu‘allim al-Thani (“the Second Teacher”). In the Western world, he is known as Alpharabius. He died in Damascus in 950.
