Rector's Message:

I would like to invite you to EMU to join our family and receive an education of the highest quality. Our family consists of highly qualified dynamic faculty members, energetic and capable staff, and a body of 14.000 students eager to learn and make the utmost use of all possibilities offered to them.

EMU, with a very proud past of 25 years in the service of higher education, is on its way to becoming an EU University in the very near future, and with a brand new vision and dynamism has launched a university-wide initiative to "Aim for the Peak of Quality.” The new EMU is the perfect candidate to be the "leading shining star" of the region with its new administrative staff and the new programs it is implementing to achieve change, quality and accreditation.

Our new vision is:
• To apply a modern, innovative, competitive and student-centered educational model similar to its counterparts elsewhere around the world.
• To contribute, in today's highly competitive world, to the skilled and qualified human resource needs of the region.
• To prepare students not only for a career but for a bright future and a prosperous life.
• To be a University attaching equal weight to practice and to theory, and utilizing all the possibilities offered by technology.

EMU has so far had 19.000 graduates and they are either in the workforce in countries ranging from Turkey to Iran to many others around the world, or are successfully pursuing their graduate studies to attain academic positions. The Alumni Office (DAU-MED) in Istanbul provides for the continuity of relations between alumni and the university through the Alumni Information Journal, and is ready to embrace all our alumni. Furthermore, in addition to offices in Turkey and North Cyprus, we have recently opened a new Alumni Office in Iran.

Everyone dreams of choosing a profession which they will not regret in the future. Most importantly, this choice should be in line with their talents, ambitions and inclinations. To achieve these goals, they should pursue their education at an institution offering quality education. I am therefore inviting all prospective students to take this opportunity to receive a highly prestigious education and be part of Eastern Mediterranean University, a miracle created in North Cyprus thanks to the close ties established with and most importantly through the contributions of the leading universities around the globe .

With warm regards,

Prof. Dr. Halil GÜVEN
