Designing and promoting summer schools — a practical blueprint

This step-by-step framework applies whether you are working with a target university not yet listed on Study in Turkiye or with another partner institution already in our network.

1. Define academic scope and accreditation

• Decide whether the program awards ECTS or institutional credit.

3. Logistics — accommodation, visa, insurance

• Negotiate block booking rates with on-campus dorms or vetted private partners.

• Offer early-bird discounts and partial scholarships to strategic markets.
• Use targeted language assessment options (in-house test or conditional placement).

5. Marketing and recruitment channels
