Why North Cyprus

Why choose North Cyprus for your studies?

North Cyprus brings together teaching quality, cultural diversity and the academic and professional opportunities that help you build your future.

North Cyprus (TRNC) offers English-taught degrees with low tuition, and most universities give international students scholarships of 50% or more. More than 20 universities are registered with YÖDAK, many also recognised by Turkey's YÖK. The island is small, safe and Mediterranean, with a large international and Arab student community. Because the TRNC is recognised only by Turkey, check that your university and programme are recognised in your home country before enrolling.
