The Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU) based on the Mediterranean Island of Cyprus started off in 1979 as an institute of technology in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) with the purpose of educating and establishing human resources. EMU has now broadened its programs to over 100 undergraduate programs, 80 postgraduate programs with over 60,000 graduates and currently providing education and research support to nearly 20,000 students from 108 different countries on its campus.

Degree and double major opportunities may be acquired in one of our 12 Faculties ( Architecture, Arts & Sciences, Business & Economics, Communication and Media Studies, Dentistry, Education, Engineering, Health Sciences, Law, Medicine, Pharmacy, Tourism) and 5 schools (Computing and Technology, Health Services, Justice, Tourism and Hospitality Management, Foreign Languages and English Preparatory School).
