From 1988 to the Present Day

Today, with students from 55 different countries, the Near East University established in Nicosia, the capital of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, has earned a well-deserved international identity, offering high-standard educational opportunities with its qualified academic staff and the well-established infrastructure. The Near East University is a full member of the European University Association (EUA), of the International Association of Universities (IAU) within the body of UNESCO, IGIP and JCI and the Federation of the Universities of the Islamic World (FUIW).

Perfectly composed with a superbly aesthetic design, the modern campus of NEU intrigues a sense of wholeness with all its faculties, laboratories, workshops, computer centres, cultural centres, dormitories, Olympic indoor swimming pool and other social and sports centres, and moreover, the private Near East Pre-School, the private Near East Primary School and the private Near East College were carefully designed and established within the complex of NEU.

The sole aim of NEU, with all its academic staff and administrative units, is not only to provide their distinguished students with the environment of the highest standards of education and instruction but also to nurture confident, responsible, rational, creative, research-oriented, liberal-minded individuals who are impressed from Atatürk’s principles and reforms.
