Haliç University summer schools for foreigners for international students
Haliç University’s summer school offers a compact, intensive pathway for international learners and guest students to advance credits, catch up, or accelerate degree progress in a multicultural campus environment. The 7-week program is designed for both current Haliç students and non-institutional (guest) students from other universities, including international applicants. English-taught courses may be available depending on the published summer program, making the session attractive to non-Turkish-speaking students.
