METU INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL
July 2 - August 15, 2008

METU's Summer Term (July 7- August 15) is open to all international students. Students from METU's partner universities are especially welcomed. A wide range of courses from METU's catalog, all taught in English, are offered, including technical and science courses, some of which involve field work.

In conjunction with this Summer Term, METU offers a special "International Summer School" (July 2-August 15). Students may apply for this International Summer School if they want to take "Beginning Turkish I (TFL 271)" an intensive 3-credit Turkish language course and/or "Contemporary Turkey: Turkish State and Society (IR 245)", a 3-credit course on Modern Turkey. Both TFL 271 and IR 245 are courses in METU's catalog and open to visiting/exchange students.

Students attending the International Summer School MUST be on campus ONE WEEK BEFORE the regular Summer Term in order to begin one week orientation program and classes for both TFL 271 and IR 245. Students enrolling through the International Summer Term can also take one more course during the regular Summer School. Usually, there are several courses that could be of special interest to international students. For the Summer 2007, these courses were "Islam in Contemporary World", "Cultural and Social Aspects of Ottoman Istanbul", "Early Anatolian Civilizations", and "Ottoman Diplomacy and the European State System" 3-credit courses offered to all upper level students.

Students who want to take other courses of their interest from the related departments may do so after the two-week orientation program.
