International Office – University of Kyrenia

Dear students

Welcome to the University of Kyrenia International Office website. It is a great pleasure and at the same time a great responsibility to welcome you.

A university can never be perfect. However, it can improve. You - the students - are the most important part of a university.

Your arrival at the university is the beginning of a new chapter in the story of your life. However, this chapter is a little different. Others - your parents, guardians, families and teachers, have largely written the previous chapters. Now you will be the lead author of the next chapter - you have the opportunity to set the direction. However, the most important thing is to do something you choose, not something chosen for you by others. While at University of Kyrenia you will have the opportunity to learn new things, gain new knowledge, develop new skills and develop your personal qualities in profound ways that will equip you for life after University. You will also make new friends who will become lifelong companions, with whom you will share memories of your university days for many years to come.

The years as a university student are formative years. Many of us have experienced graduating from university a different person, more mature and shaped by new knowledge and friendships. Now it is your turn to embark on this exciting journey. Please be assured that we will support you along the way. Your academic success and well-being are as important to us as they are to you.

One of the main goals of our university is to educate our students as freethinking individuals with broad horizons to achieve their ideals in all their academic education and training lives. For this purpose, our university, which serves with its young and dynamic structure, brings its students together with activities and projects that will bring difference and innovation in scientific, technological and social fields.

It is my pleasure to welcome your decision to consider the University of Kyrenia as a place to pursue your future goals in life and to tell you how much I look forward to meeting you at the University as a member of our wonderful family.

Good luck on your journey! Use your opportunities! It starts here today!
