One of the cornerstones of Hacettepe University’s internationalization strategy is the bilateral protocols and scientific collaboration agreements signed with prestigious universities and research institutions worldwide. These agreements are designed to promote global knowledge and experience sharing, achieve tangible scientific outcomes through joint projects, and develop a shared academic understanding through student and scholar exchanges.

The processes for signing cooperation agreements or bilateral protocols at Hacettepe University are managed by the Office of External Relations with support from the Legal Counsel and the Strategy Development Department.

Currently, Hacettepe University has bilateral cooperation agreements with 76 institutions from 26 countries. Providing the best opportunities for students and academics by offering a transnational education and research environment is one of the university's primary goals. Additionally, Hacettepe University views sharing its extensive educational and research experience with other universities as a responsibility in terms of academic solidarity. In line with this, efforts to strengthen international collaborations and establish new partnerships are going on.
