WHERE IS THE UNIVERSITY?

Famagusta, NORTH CYPRUS

EMU’s modern campus is situated not far from the medieval city of Famagusta. The history of the city and the region however stretches back to ancient times, and is rich in historical and archaeological sites that offer a flavor of the many different cultures and civilizations that the island has hosted. With such an inheritance, it is hardly surprising that today Famagusta is once more developing into a major cultural, artistic and educational center, and collaborating with EMU to host major international festivals and performers from around the world.

Rapidly developing Famagusta

is a head-spinning city with its

diversity.

Alimzhan Illusbayev (Kazakhstan), International Relations

Like any other student, my aim is

to receive quality education and

obtain an international diploma.

Both the quality of the lecturers and

the campus life prove that I have

made the right choice.

Parirokh Basiri (Iran), Tourism and Hospitality Management

Miles of sandy, unspoiled coastline meanwhile combine with the climate of the Eastern Mediterranean to enable swimming and an outdoor life to be pursued for around eight months of the year. The relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle and the culture of hospitality for which the region is famous combine to provide students from abroad with an environment that is not only welcoming but extremely safe to live and study in. For those students who wish to experience more of what this beautiful region has to offer, the major cities and tourist centers of Turkey are readily accessible by both air and sea at reasonable cost. Istanbul is just over an hour away by plane, whilst the coastal resorts of southern Turkey can be reached in just a few hours by sea. English is widely spoken across Northern Cyprus and there will always be somebody willing to help in the case of any difficulties. Local people are always

delighted however to hear foreigners try out their Turkish, and as all students at EMU take Turkish language courses, there is plenty of support provided in this regard. And since Turkish is one of the top 20 most widely-spoken languages in the world, this indeed is yet another opportunity that living on the island presents.

Northern Cyprus is a country that welcomes all visitors regardless of their origins, nationalities or beliefs. In keeping with this spirit of peaceful co-existence, EMU maintains facilities for religious practice on behalf of both its Moslem and Christian students. Furthermore, EMU positively encourages the diverse cultures and nationalities that make up our community to come together in a celebration of our multicultural character. The atmosphere of friendship that has resulted is one of the distinguishing features of our university.

This program includes social and cultural activities as well as sightseeing tours around the island. During the orientation period, information desks are available not only on campus but also at the airport in order to provide help from the very outset. The International Centre meanwhile is a home away from home for all overseas students, providing help and support at all times throughout our students stay on the island.

OST OF LIVING Depending on the program students choose to enroll on, tuition fees range from 6500 USD to 8000 USD for one academic year. Accommodation and living expenses will vary according to choice of lifestyle. However, given current exchange rates, students at EMU would normally need to budget for around 450 USD per month to support an economic but reasonable lifestyle during the course of their studies.

RANSPORT Regular bus-services connect the major towns of Northern Cyprus. More locally, the university provides its own campus and city bus service. Many students choose to make use of bicycles, whilst others apply for TRNC driving licences. Traffic circulates on the left.
