I am getting lots of messages from people to help them secure admission over here. And I have been helping them

Guys I wants to talk about work. It is not new that getting a work is not easy over here especially for guys but there are two fields that are really booming with employment opportunities, which is IT and working in Construction


If you can do electricity wiring, painting, plaster, moulding and other aspects of construction then you can easily get work.
Those skills are in high demand over here. They only employ professionals/masters and not helpers or people with little knowledge.
If you wants to work in those fields you have to be very good in them.

Learning Turkish language will also boost your employment opportunity. Here in North Cyprus they speak Turkish and just a few that can speak English. If possible try download some apps and start learning, its easy to learn

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.

Everything is right. There are many schools in North Cyprus.
This country is a small beautiful island and the schools seems to compete both in academic standard and entry requirements. North Cyprus has subsidized tuition fee as they offer 50% scholarship to all international students. No application fee, English test( though you will be required to pass it here before you start your main courses) and the initial payment is so small compared to other European countries.


Personally, I believe the main source of revenue for the government in this country is the education sector. That is why they streamlined the processes.
You can email or WhatsApp me at my signature for help in getting admission in North Cyprus.

First, I like to bring you to speed about this Thread.

This particular thread was created November 13th, 2009 and I have been responding and managing this thread since November 14th 2009 under the usernames WIP, WIp1........WIP7. I have contributed largely on the thread due to my experience in this region.

Take note: Things changes each year, so there are some things written years back that changes as lives move. So always good to know and get updated. So I will respond considering the current happenings in this region and may change also anytime.

Are there no other sure way to get to south Cyprus without study


If you don't have EU or other accepted passports; you can only go as a Tourist, which will be most difficult to convert the Tourist visa to temporary permit, or as a worker (meaning someone or a company have to issue you a job and you apply).

I have access to South Cyprus and often fly to Europe from the South since one of my passports allows me to do so. In many years back, the south Cyprus Economy was dependent on the EU and can be very favourable and far better than the North but the Cypriot economy went into recession in 2009 while North Cyprus started to see more financial support from Turkey and economy started growing. In 2012-2013; South Cyprus was badly hit economic wise. To stem the crisis, Cypriot government imposed a significant sanction on uninsured deposits of the foreigner money, a large proportion of which were held by wealthy Russians who used Cyprus as a tax haven. Later, they received EU help and stuffs started going again.

Currently; South Cyprus economy is growing well and seems stable. The South Cyprus economy is majorly based on tourism, agriculture and some services. Most of the foreigners (majorly person outside the EU) are employed in their farms, tourism-related hotel work and construction work. Very few non-EU are employed in the blue/white-collar sectors.

The large number works in the construction and private households like a nanny, caregiver etc and most of the African and Filipones work as a cleaner, in the hotel, in farm etc while the majority of construction guys come from Pakistan and Bangladesh. This is based on my personal experience as I have visited thousands of times . Also, I have seen some Africans work in IT-related jobs in Limassol (their second most populated City). I have known British-Nigerian that owns company there as well also majorly dependents on IT and some standard restaurants. There is a Nigeria from East/South that married a Cypriot and own African related store.

So if you are not educated there in courses highly in demand there or just want to go there; you likely end up working the black-collar jobs (constructions and farms etc). Yes, they pay in EURO as well you spend accommodation, living expenses in Euro. The average monthly salary currently is 1800 euro for a regular worker on a full-time job with work permit.....while on the average those work on the farm or restaurant earns 45 euro/per day.

What are the things I enjoy in South Cyprus: They have a wide array of foreign restaurants and cheaper flights to England grin

Setting up a business: There are nature of business you can set up and they have some rules. only Cypriot and EU residents can set up restaurants while foreign citizens from non-EU countries must obtain a residence permit prior to setting up a restaurant or some related business.

Moving from Cyprus to another Country: Cyprus is an island, meaning it does not have land border with any other EU country. You can only fly or via ships abroad. Its EU country, not a Schengen country; meaning you can only visit other EU without the need for a visa if you have PR or passport of South Cyprus. With temporary permit is not possible according to EU law. But South Cyprus has many embassies, hence, you can easily apply for a visa.

Now let us talk about north Cyprus considering your specific question

Hello guys i need your help. If the idea is just to go to North Cyprus for hustle, what kind of job can i find there and like how much does the salary range from?

North Cyprus Economy is largely dependent on Tourism, Education and Real Estate. These days the Education hub in Cyprus is nearly generating far income than south Cyprus. When I came to Cyprus, we had only 4 universities in North Cyprus and today we have 25 operating universities and additional 10 already approved to open. In 2019; according to North Cyprus Economy Competitiveness Report, TRNC generated 1 Billion dollars from Educational hub in 2019 from nearly 100 thousand foreign students.

The more students the more development of the real estate, hence, the construction is booming excessively in TRNC recently.

So if you are just coming to hustle in TRNC and if you are coming from Africa. Then, I likely won't advise you considering my personal experience with some that have done it and am privy to their sufferings. The fast job is largely in the construction works; you will need a work permit to really work legally in this sector although many students work temporarily in the construction most contractors or construction companies prefer those with
work permit and working full time.

So; there are some agencies that prefer to imports Asian and largely Pakistani guys (they pay them far cheaper and can work more like a donkey (no offence should be taken please). These Pakistani most time don't even speak a word in English, they are labourers, the company will make the work permit for them and they have a full-time job; they mostly sleep on the sites or like 10 in a room so they can save money. Averagely they get paid 500$ per month and can work for years. They don't wear Guccis, they don't use iPhone or have Instagram and these don't go to school .....so they are very comfortable with even 300$ monthly pay in the hard labour so they are largely preferred and issued a work permit.

Other sets of people that make money from the construction boom; those that are certified with unique skills in this field and have a modern experience in smart home electrification and interiors. I personally, know a Nigerian boy; he graduated from EMU (TRNC) and is good with IT and electrics, so he works with a young investor where they install smart home devices in newly built houses; he has a work permit and his salary is quite impressive (above 1500$) his job is after build not during building.

So if you get a work-permit and think you can work in the Construction above is the average salary if you are not going to study.

Other work that pays well: Casino in large hotels: Also, they prefer a full-time work and most ladies are preferred and salary and tips on the average can be as much as 700$ +.

Other work is Farming which is seasonal and salary is the lowest can be as much as 8-10$ per day.

For a restaurant which is much and hotel; most of the people either imported from lower economy European/Asian countries like Serbia, Tajikistan or Kyrgyzstan. An average full-time salary is around 500$ in the hotel sector unless you have some higher positions. I have not been seen African much on this in the highly placed Hotels/Restaurants.

can someone survive the condition? Like how much for rent over there per month?

Rent depends on the region/city you work falls to. The most expensive region is called Girne and rents are paid in British pounds and two-bedroom flat on average is 300 pounds monthly so you can share with another.

The capital City (Nicosia): most of the houses charges in Euro and averagely is still 250 euro per month and can be shared. The other cheaper cities are Famagusta and Lefke where they charge Turkish lira and you can get a room as low as 100 USD per month. So you can deduct that from your above-stated salary and see what is left.

I own some apartments in Resort region (Gulzeylurt) for renting to Tourists and residents: there is an Africa lady from Ethiopia working full-time on a work permit employed by the developer of the resort. I often chat with her anytime I visit my investment; She was given one of the rooms where she does not pay; she buys her own food. Her Job majorly was to clean all the apartments and some other hotel services. As of 2019 December; she earns nearly 800$...how she survives on that I don't know but she seems happy anyway.


So in summary:

If you don't already have the Full-time work permit from your country and not coming to study; I will gladly advise you to think twice.

From my experience, regular visit to south Cyprus; friends there, some students that moved there and cousin that own a business (British); both southern Cyprus and northern Cyprus are nearly the same in terms of job especially black and brown collar Jobs considering job availability, pay and living expenses...that’s just honest situation.

However, the scenery I have explained is based on the average for either Cyprus.You may succeed beyond average and you may fail beyond recognition...no matter what don’t include fraud or scamming in your pathway to success ....

my humble advice is if you are a lizard in your country you can’t turn to Aligator or Crocodile abroad...

If you want to apply for south Cyprus visa; visit their consulate in Lagos they will be happy to attend to you; that’s the legal way to go about it.
