Eastern Mediterranean University cooperation initiatives

Overview

Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU) has entered into several cooperation protocols to expand its academic and social reach.

In August 2026, EMU signed a major agreement with Bursa Uludağ University (BUÜ) and the University-Industry Cooperation Development and Training Association (ÜSİGED). This partnership focuses on bridging academic knowledge with the real sector through collaborative work in agriculture, R&D, and entrepreneurship. The initiative includes plans for a Faculty of Nature and Life Sciences in Northern Cyprus and facilitates academic mobility via faculty exchanges and joint research projects.

Shortly thereafter, EMU signed a separate protocol with the Cyprus Turkish Journalists Union (KTGB). This agreement provides educational support to journalists and their families, offering tuition discounts of up to 50%, which can increase to 75% for certain nationals enrolling via the YKS exam. The protocol also aims to facilitate internships for EMU students and prioritize graduates for employment within KTGB-related institutions.
