Middle East Technical University (METU) is one of Turkey's most prestigious state universities which enjoy a world-wide

reputation. Recently, METU was listed among the top 60 World universities by the Times Higher Education in its 2013
Reputation Ranking. Since its establishment in Ankara in 1956, the university had over the years trained thousands of
international students in addition to its one hundred thousand national alumni. In 2005 METU has established a new campus in
Northern Cyprus under the name Middle East Technical University Northern Cyprus Campus (METU NCC) with a more focused
international mission.
METU Northern Cyprus Campus is attached to the main campus in Ankara in all academic and administrative affairs. All degree
programs of METU NCC are approved by the METU Senate, and provide the same quality standards of the main campus in
Ankara.
The medium of instruction at both METU campuses is English and the credit-hour system is employed. Academic Year
commences in September and consists of two semesters ending in mid-June, plus an optional Summer Session. Students are
admitted to both Fall and Spring semesters. Duration of undergraduate study is four academic years (eight semesters) for all
degree programs. Being a state university, the cost of education even for international students- is subsidized; therefore the
tuition is highly cost-effective and competitive.

339 hectares (137 acres). In addition to its state-of-the-art education and lab facilities, METU NCC offers all the amenities of
