The medium of instruction at METU is English.

Accommodation

Participants are accommodated in campus dormitory, double or single room. Rooms will be in METU's newest dormitories.

The summer school dormitory has a shared laundry and a kitchen . There are also tv sets and internet connection in each room. In addition, hot water is available all day. Canteen in this dormitory is open from 8:00 a.m until 23:00 p.m. Additionally, students can choose from a variety of eating places on the campus, at reasonable prices.

ECTS accreditation

Students who have attended METU's International Summer School in previous years have had no difficulty transferring credits from the Summer Program. However, students should consult with their faculty advisors and university registrar in advance to ensure that courses will be acceptable to their program. All METU courses have both local METU and ECTS credits.
