Final International University, Kyrenia — Admissions, Programs and Tuition

Final International University is a private university in Kyrenia, North Cyprus. One plain feature separates it from many of the Turkish options a student compares it with: every one of the five rows we publish for it is taught in English, and there is no Turkish-taught row on the list at all.

Those five rows sit at bachelor's and master's level, and their composition is worth noticing: dentistry with one row, pharmacy with one row, engineering with two. In other words, much of this short list is made up of specialised, expensive subjects — which is what explains the tuition range rather than any claim about the university.

Annual tuition runs from $5,400 to $22,200 — roughly a fourfold gap between floor and ceiling. And those five rows are not the university's whole catalogue; they are the part we have confirmed and published. If your subject is not in the table, the right move is to ask the university directly.

The clear advantage here for an Iranian applicant is that the entire published list is in English. That removes the Turkish preparation year from your plan and puts you into the degree itself a year earlier — and when you total up the cost of studying abroad, a year of tuition and living expenses removed is not a small saving.

The second advantage is access to specialised health-science subjects at a small institution: dentistry and pharmacy both appear within this five-row list. The same sentence carries a warning, though. The $22,200 ceiling belongs to those rows, so if dentistry is your target you should build your budget around the top of the range, not the bottom.

The figure above is the university's own tuition — not our fee. Everything involved in getting you admitted here, from checking your documents to holding your acceptance letter, is done at no cost to you.

Bachelor's admission at North Cyprus private universities is assessed on your high-school record, and Iran's national entrance exam plays no part in it. Because every published row here is English-taught, the English condition — an international certificate or the university's own exam — is present in every file at this university.

For master's entry, your bachelor's degree and transcripts are the basis of the assessment. The specific conditions for dentistry and pharmacy, from grade thresholds to which entrance exams are accepted, are things we ask the university each year; we do not put a number of our own on this page.

A standard bachelor's file holds your high-school transcripts and diploma with official translations, a copy of a valid passport, a passport photo and an English language certificate. A health-science program may draw an additional request from the university, and we check that before the file is sent.

For a master's, your bachelor's degree and transcripts with official translations join the list, and some programs also ask for a statement of purpose and references. Preparing and checking all of it is part of the same free service.

Like every university operating in North Cyprus, Final International University is supervised and accredited by YÖDAK (the North Cyprus Higher Education Planning, Evaluation, Accreditation and Coordination Council). YÖDAK is listed in the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) database as an "affiliate member" — affiliate, not full member.

Separately, Turkey's Higher Education Council (YÖK) recognizes North Cyprus universities individually. On the published list from the North Cyprus Consulate General in Istanbul (drawn from Turkey's 2019 national exam guidebook), Final International University is one of the universities recognized by YÖK. Because that list traces back to an older edition and recognition status can change, we re-confirm the current YÖK recognition status before any commitment, in the free consultation. Full detail on both layers of accreditation is in the [guide to studying in North Cyprus](/guides/studying-in-north-cyprus).

Dentistry appears with one row in this university's published list, and its tuition sits at the top of the $5,400 to $22,200 range; the exact figure is in the table on this page. The language of instruction, as across the rest of the list, is English.

We confirm this program's admission requirements, documents and quota position directly with the university. We do not describe a teaching clinic, the structure of the course or its clinical years, because that detail is not confirmed to us and guessing at it would not help you.

Kyrenia, Girne in Turkish, is a small harbor town on the north coast of Cyprus where the mountains drop almost straight to the sea. Its center is the old horseshoe harbor, watched over by a broad stone castle, with cafes along the water where students end up after class. University campuses sit around the edges of town, and shared minibuses along the coast road plus university shuttles cover most journeys, since the island has no rail. Costs match a small resort town — modest overall, higher for sea-view flats in season. Summers are hot and dry, winters mild, and the swimming months stretch long, with the Five Finger mountains as a constant backdrop.
