What did the students say?
Nesrin AYVACI – Kurtuluş High School
I am considering studying Chemistry or Physics at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at EMU. The Department of Chemistry is my primary choice. EMU is among the universities I am planning to apply to, mainly because it is a prestigious and well-established institution. I also believe that the Workshop events are very useful for us as students.
Derya AVŞAR – Lapta Yavuzlar High School
I want to study Law. Eastern Mediterranean University is the university I would most like to attend. I believe EMU provides one of the best educational opportunities in the country. I was very satisfied with the Workshop events. Everyone was very welcoming and supportive, and the workshops gave us the chance to ask the academics questions we had in mind.

I would like to study in the field of Tourism. I liked EMU very much and I am considering to pursue my studies there. I had previously visited the campus and was very impressed then as well. The Workshops gave us the opportunity to learn more about the topics we were curious about.
