What is the Farabi Exchange Programme?

Commonly referred to as the ‘Farabi Exchange Programme’, the Student and Academic Staff Exchange Programme between Higher Education Institutions is a scheme facilitating the exchange of students and academic staff amongst higher education institutions—including universities and institutes of higher technology—that offer education and training at undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral levels. The Farabi Exchange Programme aims to enable students or academic staff to continue their education and teaching activities at a higher education institution other than their own for one or two semesters. The principles governing the implementation of the Farabi Exchange Programme are set out in detail in the Regulations and the Rules and Procedures.

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 the ‘First Teacher’ (Muallim-i Evvel), and is referred to as the ‘Second Teacher’ (Muallim-i Sani).
