We are delighted to announce that the Language Center at Boğaziçi University is organizing the in-person Turkish Language and Culture Program 2026. This intensive and accredited international summer program, which has been offered since 1982, will take place between June 11 and August 7, 2026 and features four levels of instruction—elementary, intermediate, upper-intermediate, and advanced—delivered by university staff specialized in teaching Turkish as a foreign language.
The program provides comprehensive language training for adult learners while also offering first-hand exposure to Turkish culture through weekly lectures by distinguished scholars in fields such as economics, history, literature, fine arts, and architecture. Enrollment for each level is limited to a minimum of five and a maximum of approximately ten students. Classes are held on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and are complemented by two hours per week of laboratory activities and free conversation sessions with teaching assistants.
Upon successful completion of the program, students are awarded 12 transferable credits, provided that all course requirements—including full attendance and participation in all examinations—are fulfilled.
Further information and application details are available at https://tlcp.bogazici.edu.tr/. For any inquiries, please contact tlcp@bogazici.edu.tr
The application deadline is April 17, 2026.
