Re: North Cyprus by KennieHorllarh(m): 1:01am On Feb 03, 2015
Hello everyone.
Am a prospective Cyprus International University (CIU) student for a masters degree, I was granted a Conditional acceptance letter (cal) against september 2014(fall), but due to some personal reasonable reasons (not financial) my sponsor asked me to defer my admission to sept 2015 Which I obliged, so another CAL was sent to me against february (spring) 2015 which is not d period i requested for.
The question now is: shuld I wait till march & then re-apply freshly for the sept semester or should I defer my feb admission to again to sept?

Also, I av a passion for music (am a Bassist). I do Music cos it feeds my soul & mayb put some doe in wallet... so I wanna ask hw d music climate in CIU & TRNC is, if it worth venturing to & investing in. Thanks

You can do anyone you wish, kindly email the university to know which is better but deferment makes the work easier though.

Are you going to do Turkish Music? if yes you may have some fun but if other music then it will be just for fun and improvement. TRNC is not USA or UK, is just a small Island where most foreigners only come here to study, the citizens are lazy and eat a lot and after sometimes you will become lazy also and hardly do they listen to foreign music unless top artiste or via TV or radio stations. But who knows, your style of music might pull some strings..Good luck!

I think emirate guys are not having such issues, also, you can buy return and get the refund asap on arrival via Turkish airline if purchased via their center. I have done that in most times for those traveling from Nigeria. Safe trip and Happy new month!
Hello mr Wip, please can you connect me with the guys you said traveled two days ago especially the one that traveled with Turkish airline. I need to know if he encountered any problems at all during boarding and how he was able to board. The agency i want to book through(Travelstart) told me just now that if am not allowed to board, my ticket won't be refunded. i also tried booking round trip and they told me that i can't be refunded the unused return ticket because what i want to buy is the cheapest ticket.
please Wip help me with this or better still ask the guy about that and update me. I want to go for what i can afford. Thanks

I dont know the student in person, my duty is just to compile students that arrive based on their flight details sent and those approve at TRNC airport so the university can know how many arrived and how many registered.

I can help you get refund on arrival but very risky, so i advise you follow your agent ways.

Pls i dont sell tickets but I have access to get refund (100% assure)

If i must help you consider the following conditions:

1. You have to pay the money to me (exact amount you found on the TURKISH airline website) : I may run away with your money ( very risky...so think well), although such money is not what i live on..so think and ask your religious leader to see the vision before you embark on this.

2. On Arrival walk straight to my office and pick your refund.

3. I can only give you my email address or you write here on this thread but i will not entertain chats(Whatsapp or viber) or call but i can call you from my official phone before you depart.

4. If you dont fly with the ticket: you will receive 100% refund as well.

5. I dont like to meet people so i may not entertain too much talk apart from refunding you.

6. This is not by force ooo or do or die....You may also check stores within Nigeria that may offer similar help to you.



Pls this is just assistance i want to offer for this applicant due to his pocket size....I only do this to help, so i may not reply others for such offer. Thanks... Safe trip and good luck!

Thanks for your kindness to assist. Can you also get the refund on KLM Airways? because that is the cheapest round trip i got today which i was also told is not refundable. Can you really do that please?

NO..only Turkish airline. Reason is that we had cooperation with them for our summer students sometime back and during that period I was able to drive in over 200 European and Chinese students down to TRNC. Therefore, I was assigned to one of their reps that can follow up on that.

Thanks a lot. My next option is to book one way because that is what i can afford currently. I just wish if anyone in the house that has used one way ticket currently can just tell me how he/she went about it at the airport. Thanks once more.

What you need to bring along is stated on your acceptance letter, kindly check again. Most importantly, try to bring photo passport from Nigeria cos it will cost you around 2000-3000Naira to snap just 6 pics here which may be less than 500N there in Nigeria. You will need about 20 photo passports cos you will need it in most places even at police stations.

1. Original olevel results 2. Acceptance letter 3 Intl passport 4 photo are major things that are requested from undergraduate applicants for registration.

2. You must pay tuition fees within just one week including accommodation which ranges 4500-5500USD

3. If you are above 25yrs, you must support with verifiable documents why you have finished high school since 2006 and wanting to start undergrad in 2015.

How do you know that the diploma is not recognized? You have not studied abroad before neither have you traveled to NC nor SC for academic purpose. Political recognition is different from academic recognition. Taiwan is not recognized politically (only 21 UN member states recognized Taiwan) like NC but they have some of the best academic journals in the world and great products used worldwide like HTC mobile....

Since graduates from TRNC are found working in Asia, Middle East, UK, Canada, US and Europe..then what global recognition do you need again?

Like i said before,i didnt mean to offend anyone..
Im just on the defensive...Even i seek for a good Uni where i can study...Just that the feedbacks i got when i researched on Universities in NC weren't positive.
Like it was said in a newspaper that CIU was operating illegally...
Re: North Cyprus by milesnorthman12(m): 1:13pm On Feb 04, 2015
Happy new month Dr. Wip and I greatly appreciate your contribution to this thread, it has helped a lot of people here.

A little issue is of concern to me is that you mentioned that those coming shld book flights around feb ending/ march beginning, I booked mine 22nd and I should be in cyprus 23rd, xo I really want to know when exactly the dorm will open because, I didn't really create room for staying hotels, etc.

Secondly, I need to know if am on point with my departure/arrival date or shld I postpone, as I was informed that EMU will finish their registration by 29th of this month.

Thank you in anticipation of your response and more powers to your elbow!

Thanks a lot, I just learnt how you feel now. Anyway, I have been to both SC and TRNC and in most times I visit SC and I know about the university structures. In fact I bought my car from SC cos is cheaper compared with cars from NC.

CIU is just one of the universities in TRNC and it may have its own problem but I must tell you when it comes to some analytical equipments CIU have these. How many universities in Nigeria or SC have SEM, XRD, XRF, GS machines? google CIU environmental department you will find list of these equipments and they run into millions of dollars to acquire such model they have. This means they support research and make them competitive.

Wish you luck!

Your arrangement is okay. EMU dorms should be opened then but private dorms within EMU have different opening dates. But you will be accommodated into EMU dorm during these dates.

NOTE: registration for new students ends around March, only old students registrations end on 29th officially and those old students can still register even after 29th with daily penalty. Since you are new student...these dates or penalty will not affect you unless you arrive in April.
