People are funny , how can you pay first year school fees and expect to work in their own country, use their own fund to pay them back. Who does that? You cant do that in a surviving territory like cyprus, some eu nations and asian nations wont even allow students to work because they know this economics.

Rich countries will let you work because they know who ever can afford school fees is buoyant enough financially to be in their country its a win win situation. Thats mathematics.

Fact of the matter is cut your coat according to your size. If you cant cut your coat, dont even bother buying one

So which of the Cyprus is a bit better in terms of work and study now...North and South or are they both the same?

I can only tell you about N.Cyprus, nothing about S.Cyprus cos I haven't been there.
But what you should bear in mind is that there is no place that is 100% ok

That's y deferment of admission is beta ...since it is work u want to work then u can continue sch after a year....

South is far better than North Cyprus
But cost of education and living is high than North Cyprus, because of the Euro which they use

Admission is Ongoing at EMU


Interested in Studying at Eastern Mediterranean University? due to the pandemic, the initial payment has been slashed to 500$ and also we have just concluded rectorship election at EMU. The university will be opening new departments/programs in Artificial intelligence Engineering, Water Process Engineering, Smart and Advanced Agricultural Sci/eng etc.

If you are interested to study and carry out research in Sensor development for rapid detection of virus/bacteria, Energy storage devices like battery development and supercapacitor, Solar energy conversion, Pollution monitoring with AI-enabled devices, air and water pollution control, material synthesis for biomedical applications, Machine learning for various applications (health, waste prediction, econs etc).........kindly contact me ( I am a professor at EMU working in these research areas).

Benefits of Developing Academic and Industrial Demand Research Skills:

Learning and developing research skills is something that is lost in many educational systems. In fact, the majority of the students are only interested in getting the best grades and do much cramming at times to achieve this without actually developing unique or demanding skills. Hence, turn out to have an unattractive CV or non-competitive profile. After graduation, moving from one country to work elsewhere or even starting a job in the same country will require sound, currently/emerging skills well-spelt in the applicant CV/resume.

So after spending 40,000 British pounds to get 2nd class honour degree in Electrical Engineering or in Business administration.....so do you have some demanding skills, needed experience in your CV/resume or you have the same regular CV like others and just emphasizing on the fact that you graduated with CGPA of 4.999.

Employers (either business organization, industries or academics) love research skills. Research is an important part of a business because it helps an organization keep up with changing technologies, develop new products, get better at what they do, keep an eye on its competitors etc. Irrespective of the country, university or language you studied, a competitive profile is largely favoured and in-demand these days


----With sound research skills, you may be developing your own product which investor can put money, you be solving challenges that craft income also for you and many other benefits.


How can you demonstrate your research skills or the unique experience?

In many cases, your CV is your chance to make a first, strong and competitive impression. Your CV will help employers check you’ve got the right skills and experience. If they can see you’ve got them, it’s likely you’ll get to the next stage.

As a student, you can demonstrate either of these or combination via:

--Your research publication in a reputable journal (very important because its peer-reviewed)
--Your dissertation/project/thesis (if published and easily accessible)
--Personal and accessible webpages linking to your profile showing the skills.


Is it enough to claim you have python, C# or Machine learning Skills in your CV?

Various students/persons fill skills they don't have in their CV or skills they have just less than 2% knowledge of. Therefore, if you are claiming to have machine learning or AI (artificial intelligence skills), market/economics forecasting skills, or sound with device development or software development or as strong crisis mitigator............you have to point to the actual project you have completed with these skills rather than just filling " I have significant knowledge of Machine learning" ..............Rather, you have to point to the verifiable projects you have done with such skills.


Is research just for a graduate student?

No. research is for all categories of students be it undergraduate, graduate-level or post-graduate students.


Are there benefits to research at EMU?

Apart from the above listed;

--EMU pays as much as nearly 1000$ per the research paper you published in a reputable journal (accessible by all level of students)

---Turkish government pay as much as 2200$ per the same paper.

----Meaning that researcher may get as much as EMU+ Turkish government payment per research paper.

----With good research skills, you stand a great chance to get further funding from the government and other funders.

---You stand a chance to pitch your products to the world via the Teknorpaks and start-ups events.

Are there limits? no limits irrespective of the department and it's payable as soon as they verified the paper in the WEB OF SCIENCE platform.


WIP7: I have published over 50 research articles, have benefited from the Turkish government 1 million Turkish Lira (nearly 56 million naira) TUBITAK funding, Green brain project funding, have two lab ready-products (glucose sensors under evaluation for markets). Supervised 10 PhD students currently and numbers of masters and undergraduate students.

OK which other viable options are available in turkey alongside metu?

There are many universities in Turkey with quality education system. Last semester, I recruited over 60 students to universities in Ankara, Istanbul and other parts of Turkey.

The majority of the universities that does not use quota system are private universities and undergraduate fees ranges from 3500-5000$/year.

Email me the result of such student let me have a look at the grades and tell the course student want to study.

Important: after completing 5 years education in Turkey, you can be eligible for Turkish citizenship if you would meet all of the criteria under conditions that your student permit residence permit would be transferred to work permit.

Okay I have seen.

METU is highly ranked university and have strict admission criteria. All applicants need to have atleast 5 credits including English and maths. For METU; additional 3 good grades in other related subjects to the field student want to study.

From the result you sent; the applicant will not be admitted by METU. Other universities in Turkey will only admit him to foundation level which cost around 4000$ a year. I encourage the applicant to get another result (combined) or go for the foundation if can afford it.

Hello guys, I am back
The moderator banned my account for  weeks. I can't see most of the comments I posted here, maybe it got deleted, I will try to follow up with the rules here on Nairaland.


You see I promised to give you my unbiased experience as a master student in North Cyprus, I will keep updating this thread about my experiences in North Cyprus. If you wants to sturdy in North Cyprus, take this thread serious. It contains vital informations about how life is over here. Take every comment here serious both negative and positive especially those coming from students who have studied here in North Cyprus, I can confidently tell you, most of what they say are all truth.
Please don't rush to travel Abroad, take some time, do much research, know why you really want to sturdy Abroad, that will help you make informed decisions.
Most times we try to overcrowd our judgements, don't do that, face the facts.
See every country has it's challenges. North Cyprus has it's advantages and disadvantages. Enjoy the advantages and check if you can cope with the bad sides.
I will put up some facts that have been posted in this thread in my next post.

Christie171:
So which of the Cyprus is a bit better in terms of work and study now...North and South or are they both the same?

No place is 100% okay, both are beautiful countries. I live in the North, have not been to the South but personally I will prefer South more than North

My reasons
There are so many international students in the North searching for the little available job. These are even menial jobs which you can hardly do in your country but here it is a hot cake for students and its even hard to get.
In South, you pay all your fees in hard currency and your employers also pay you in hard currency but in North, you will pay all fees in hard currency while your employers pay you in Turkish Lira (low currency).
Here in North Cyprus, you hardly see industries , these people keep building schools, apartments, and beaches everywhere lol, but I don't know of South, stories say it is better than North, the reason most people migrate from North to South.

PS: If you need assistance with admission, send me your documents

How easier it is to migrate to other countries from n.cyprus. ....expecially if you're a student that wants to transfer or go for visitation ....

Does one needs to be studying in Turkey/North Cyprus to carry out this research with you guys?

If you're interested to study in south Cyprus
Just be ready to do (HIV, Hepatitis b, staphylococcus, chest x-ray test) if you fail any of this. You will be deported immediately

You will also do police clearance
Authenticate your documents at MOE and MOF

pseudonomer:


Does one needs to be studying in Turkey/North Cyprus to carry out this research with you guys?

Partly Yes and NO.

First to benefit financially your address must carry Turkey/North Cyprus. Only researchers with an affiliation (Turkey/NC) on the published research paper can be paid by the Turkish Government.

Second: For the research, I have co-researchers in various countries, I have also benefited from RSC funding which pays for a research visit to the UK universities, also, I have ex-students still on the project working in another country (my recent PhD student from EMU/NC works in a University in Ontario and we still work together) and currently co-supervising students in Universities in Canada, USA and Germany.

The main thing is the researcher must have access to the lab, equipment or field/sites to carry out the research and also depends on the type of research. For example, we have research in battery development, if you are working in this research you must have all raw materials to fabricate the electrodes and also have the equipment to carry out the electrochemical testings.

Another way, we have a researcher working on Machine learning to design model to predict disease and favourable conditions for Greenhouse farming. She is based in Kenya and we only supply her the sensors for data collecting and trained her virtually how to do; the data collection fields are in Kenya and Tanzania so she needs to collect data there and its sync to our cloud then we evaluate and design model. The researcher got funding (travelling and others) from the company she works for, we are just consulted.

What field are you into?

Electronic Engineering(Embedded Systems and Autonomous Systems) but intend to focus on Autonomous Systems. I’m in Germany.

Autonomous Systems is good and becoming more popular these days. I completed one of my masters in Germany years back ...

If I may ask why do you want to take out Embedded systems? I believe both are correlatively linked. I have some background knowledge of the embedded system. I used to be vice-dean of the Faculty of Engineering and we had a staff (he had a PhD in computer systems) that we co-supervised some students in these fields.

Do you have any skills with AI, neural network or machine learning? if yes this will be great for your Autonomous systems.

EMU Gives Cash Cheque Award to Successful Students

Students who made it to the top 10 within their Faculty or Schools, were awarded a 3 category cash cheque. The awards were given in 3 categories, with students achieving first place receiving 3 times the minimum wage amount, while second place students received 2 times the minimum wage amount and third-place students received the amount equivalent to minimum wage.

Any update about flight to N.cyprus?

I would like to provide some extra information in addition to what Prof Wip7 may have provided. METU Ankara is a public institution. Although it's tuition fees are significantly cheaper than other schools that offer the same quality of education, admission is quite competitive. This competition is further intensified by the international student quota limit, which could vary from time to time depending on the graduation rate of international students. I won't lie to you, the curriculum across all departments is quite rigorous, and struggling with your courses in the first year is kind of a norm here. In fact, getting NA/F is a normal thing. . No jokes. Just putting reality into perspective. You will find a significant proportion of the students completing their programs at least one semester beyond the normal duration(4 years). I suppose that toughness is what you get for paying meager tuition fees. . The minimum requirement as provided is probably not enough to get you in. Your WASSCE grades should be in the highs, an average of around B2 in 5 subjects or so.
