Foreign students in Northern Cyprus: False promises and disillusion • FRANCE 24 English
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 май 2023
- In Turkish-controlled Northern Cyprus, education has become the leading economic sector. No less than 23 universities are concentrated in the small self-declared state recognised only by Turkey, which has occupied it since 1974. They attract students from developing countries by offering affordable courses with a "European" stamp of approval. But some of these students are soon disappointed. After falling victim to false promises made by their recruiters, they can end up in desperate situations. FRANCE 24's Corentin Bainier, Erika Olavarria and Derek Thomson report.

As someone who did his master's in Northern Cyprus in EMU, I can tell you this report is completely accurate. The racism is beyond imagination. They treat students as slaves.
They are not in Europe. It's Freud. Northerncyprus are not recognized. Don't waist you're money . Southern cyprs is and you pay in euros and is in Europe and recognized. Teachers in northerncyprus may well not be teachers as the education is not recognized. He acutely lied on Camara 😂😂😂 it's not in Europe and just goes to show what the education is like if he thinks he's in Europe 😂 lovely place but very corrupt! Make sure it's southern you come to cyprus people .
Hello guys, am i also a victim. I gain admission in a university in north Cyprus for a 4 years course last march. I left Cameroon hoping am going to Cyprus to study upon arriving at the Cyprus emigration about 15 to 20 international students were held and deported back to their home country without even giving or telling the students reasons for not allowing them to enter the country. I had all my documents ready with a sum of 500$ cash on me as stated. The way Africans are been treated around the globe is awful, i spent all my savings so i could go and study abroad instead they treated us like prisoners.😢
Shouldn’t have gone to an illegal country huh
I feel so sorry for you, However go to Norway Sweden or Denmark here our Universities are free....
I studied in North Cyprus and I have faced so many racists so I don't advice anyone to study in North Cyprus.
They are not racist, they just do not like prostitutes or drug dealers....
They forgot to mention that you pay rent in British Pounds ,Euros or dollars. as an African student you do not pay rent in the local currency Turkish Lira.
wow
it applies everyone, not just African students
@@onurrsentrkrarely.
In fact, I have met many Africans. They are lazy and like to complain everywhere. Even if they go to a developed country, they will complain. In short, people who complain will complain wherever they go.
@@onurrsentrkby everyone you mean all the international students (African, Asians etc)?if that's the case then yes I can confirm.
I stayed in northern cyprus 2 weeks for university, and i immediately left, 0 regrets, definitely avoid this place at all costs, it's a scam, and not safe especially for african students.
We dont want either
@@TurkicAtheist805 As inva ders you shouldn't "want" anything and just leave the island.
you no like it than dont go there man!
@@thehkingsroom5711 we are working on how to get rid of you lying greeks. Cyprus which was ruled by different suzerains, but which never in its entire history came under Greek rule, was conquered by the Ottomans in 1571 and ruled by them until 1878 when it was rented to Biritish.
You are very correct. If you have gone there with hope of making a living as a student, your dream will dye. I am a victim and I stay here for 6.5 years.
How please explain i'm going there ?
Being a graduate from EMU back in 1995, I can say without hesitation that EMU atleast at that point in time was one of the best universities for engineering studies. It was very tough but the quality of staff and knowledge imparted was better than many universities in USA and Euorpe. I can say this because friends of mine who couldn't cope with engineering courses in EMU transfered to very good US universities and found the exams and curriculum there much much easier.
thank you for investigating & reporting on these allegations. i will look into this matter.
Are you writing a paper on this?
What happened on the book bro
Northern Cyprus is very small. You can’t hide the face of any agent. I know this anonymous agent in person. Just from his morphology.
FREE CYPRUS 🇨🇾
Maybe they should have gone to a recognised country
very true
@@epirushawk5575 no
A7stin school for the deaf might be interested and is especially for them since the closed captions are off they will never know what it says unless closed captions are on from the get go.
Cyprus is European but Northern Cyprus not! Is that an objective documentary! Shame! How African students do live in Paris!?
It's heartbreaking to see young people have their dreams broken like this ! 🙏
You must not be living in the real world because it is worse in their own countries.
The division of Cyprus is not due to a ''civil war'' my friend, it's due to Turkey's INVASION and OCCUPATION of the northern area of the Republic of Cyprus
They stole houses from greek cypriots
@@vincenzostr4488 That is correct
@@vincenzostr4488 Oh! very nice.
no no it was not an invasion. greek tried to genocide and erase the turks who were living in the for 500 years just like they did in balkans. so turkish republic intervened and save us. thank you turkey.
Can you tell me why Turkey made intervention to the Island?
They come in north part of occupation part,and then pass to cyprus republic to ask for asylum
I spent 5 years in North Cyprus in ODTÜ, trust me don’t go to Cyprus if you did good in high school. You’ll have legal trouble filling out forms and explaining where you were when applying for jobs or anything internationally.
I am a final year student of European University of Lefke. if anything; i can confirm all this documentary has said but again it left alot of horrible things that majority of the international students are suffering here.
Back in 2021 i recorded a video exposing this exact narration from the documentary and shared it as much as I could, today i can happily say it saved alot of people.
Northern Cyprus is expensive very expensive,if you don't have a good financial background dont take a step coming here. And also i only know of four universities that are accredited the rest are all scams.
Be vigilant!!
Where did you share it? Is CIU one of the univeristies that are accredited?
@@riro963don't worry it is accredited, you got WhatsApp or something, I'm a student there
Which one is recognized?
the accredited universities are mostly in order of best to worst:
EMU (best)
ODTÜ CYPRUS
NEAR EAST UNI
GIRNE AMERICAN UNI & CYPRUS INTERNATIONAL UNI
the top are pretty good education and recognition wise and the bottom i wouldn't recommend but you can still find international jobs but harder. though some have other advantages like GAU has universities in many countries including england that you can transfer to.
Accredited by who? The Turkish Government. Doesn't matter all their certificates are worthless.
Living in a 3 rd world nation is so unfortunate
I wouldn't want to go study in TRNC.
Bill might be interested. Or should say not if the sound is off.
What can anybody learn from them, they can't even make concrete and the buildings fall down also the carpets are fake
FREEDOM TO CYPRUS 🇨🇾
My mother taught me to be polite like the nice gentlemen in the video
By the way there are lots of arabic countries do not recognize the universities of northern cyprus like Egypt, Syria, Iraq... and recently Jordon has stopped to recognize the universities of northern cyprus
Rubbish
No country except turkey recognises it
How awful to dupe students with false promises. How low can people get.
There is much ugliness in this world. 😏😒🤦🏻🤦🏻♂️🤦🏿♀️🤷🏽♂️🫢🤢
$$$
there is your answer
It's called a SCAM
They’re Turks. Having no morals is in their blood
Cyprus can't afford to give these people free tuition unfortunately what did these guys expect its hard for anyone coming from another country to adjust and even me recognised its the same all over the world trnc offers a cheaper option for people with less wealth the education they get is first-class however.
Seems like 8 may have been targeted by prepaid reservations at the cleanest resort in Las Vegas
i am really for sorry forthis poor guy who was forced to drop his study and ended up with an accident in the construction work
It was hell for me
@@emmadeey7was this you featured in the video?
I know of no business called money tree and have never traveled to cyprus
Error. A qualification may be recognised in Turkey, but the claim that it will be recognised elsewhere is sim,ply WRONG.
sorry you are wrong.qualification from northern cyprus is recognized all over the world.
Wrong. They are almost worthless, probably recognized in Turkey, nowhere else
@@azmathabib6120 If the college told you that then they are lying. It's part of the rip-off.
Is it true bro bcz I am going to study in it kindly guide me@@azmathabib6120
@@azmathabib6120 So Wrong.Not recognised anywhere.
All Fraud scam
I studied in Northern Cyprus from 2012 February up until 2016 January. I can say that my 4 year stay was smooth with only about 1% bad incidents. 8 years down the line, the Degree i got earned my a job at a Bank in the ICT department. Experiences differ, i guess!
Free Cyprus 🇨🇾
I try to prepay for all my reservations before I travel
My family is trying to prevent me from going to the church of my choice
I have been to the north(and the rest of cyprus) side and it was a dump, a real sorry place.
That's what happens when Turks take control of something (or anything really)
I wasn't allowed to enter into cyprus last match as an international student. Later on the same university has readmitted me asking me to come for my studies right now am really confused and scared based on my past experience which made me to loose alot of money please someone guide me through this am begging 😢.
don't just jump into a plane or the euphoria of travelling abroad. Please, read, read and read about the country you are going. Northern Cyprus is only recognised by Turkey, which limits the opportunities in the country as their economy will be somehow dependent on Turkey's economy. Be careful while making a decision like this. You can check other European countries if you want to study abroad.
You still dey ask? 😢
Just make sure the university is accredited and avoid the American University at Girne.
Stay at home an save a lot of money. It's impossible to gain a usable qualification in North Cyprus. You will be ripped off. Black African students are singled out for abuse. Study where you are and whatever you can achieve will be recognized across the world.,
Did u go?
You go to study in an occupied area? Are you even serious ?
They don’t tell u the true story.
That's Turkey....a lot of scams. Very bad for the students thou😢
Northern Cyprus was invaded by the Turks and is illegally occupied by them ever since the 70s. This is not a true state, it is a Turkish puppet trying to pursue Turkish financial interests in the area. So before going to study in an illegally occupied territory you should do your research first...
Cyprus which was ruled by different suzerains, but which never in its entire history came under Greek rule, was conquered by the Ottomans in 1571 and ruled by them until 1878 when it was rented to biritish. stop spreading lies!
@@tekinmoustafa8141 close your mouth liar, stop distorting facts and go study history. Cyprus has been hellenic culturally, linguistically and religiously for thousands of years. Turks and their Islamic cancer arrived in the area 500 years ago.
School fee's are paid in dollars/Europe
House rent paid in dollars
But farm job or cleaning job/ construction available for foreigners pays in tl
No , NOT at all.
The story is totally different.
Turkey,
Invaded the island, and since 1974, for 50 years now ,is half almost occupies the island.
Kicked out the local population, been replaced them till on our days ,mainly by Turks,settlers from its mainland
Ignoring of all of the UN resolutions about peace and justice for the island, is even trying today to turn of those occupied areas of the island, in to a separate recognise Turkish state.
The north occupied areas, ard still our stolen lands and properties
PLEASE
we expect from you people to RESPECT that
Cyprus which was ruled by different suzerains, but which never in its entire history came under Greek rule, was conquered by the Ottomans in 1571 and ruled by them until 1878 when it was rented to biritish. stop spreading lies!
actually here , we must thank the Russian foreign minister mr.Lavrov.
Right with the beginning of their illegal invasion against Ukraine, the man mentioned about the Cyprus issue and how all those western countries hypocrites are still have their eyes,ears and Mouths completely shut about
Wow, I found this video While researching for myself and maybe I will focus on other countries before I decide, I was already researching options.
Never trust agents, Never.
It's so sad to see African students suffer this much after their countries are mismanaged by the political leaders.
In fact, I have met many Africans. They are lazy and like to complain everywhere. Even if they go to a developed country, they will complain. In short, people who complain will complain wherever they go.
As a result of being unable to read. Some students are more exposed than the so-called agents, yet, they will get into the plane without simple research on where they are going.
A great thank to France 24. Unfortunately things are much worst day by day. After Turkeys occupation in Cyprus , when they killed raped and holding missing persons away from theirs family God will never give them the chance to be happy for what they have done to Greeks
Cyprus which was ruled by different suzerains, but which never in its entire history came under Greek rule, was conquered by the Ottomans in 1571 and ruled by them until 1878 when it was rented to biritish. stop spreading lies!
@@tekinmoustafa8141 you are by far unhistorical and not a chance to convince you about the truth and history ,, Cyprus is an a Greek island for four thousand years ,,, read a book read history read your dna
Notice they don't mention the American University at Girne - More like a community college! Ha! Ha!
why
Why please explain
Is Tough out here, I can't Afford school. I dropped out after my first semester.
same here, although i was in my 3rd year. sad i cannot continue.
In Myanmar where the internal conflict lingers over 75 years, the universities have been closed on and off. The studious young people there utilise internet to learn everything. Thanks to the accessible cost of smartphone.
Why please explain
Hello! A Turkish Cypriot here. Unfortunately, universities in the north side of Cyprus are only recognised by Turkey and this does not mean that they are recognised by Europe. You cannot work in the EU with a trnc university diploma!
How please explain i'm going there 😢
@@zakaria6517Europe doesn’t recognise the universities in Northern Cyprus which means that if you apply for a job in Europe, it’s as if you never attended university.
@@Cerru5426 but they say that ciu is recognised World wide ?
@@zakaria6517 if it is then that’s only one advantage of studying in NC. Word of mouth is not something to rely on this heavily. If you watch the documentary above, you can see what could possibly happen to you if you go to NC as an international student. Please be cautious
Why not go south ?????
You mean the Republic of Cyprus?
I’m a student in BAU and everything here is true. Most things even left out especially the police brutality, fraud m, corruption and so on. I’m almost done with my studies and I’d be leaving. Please do not come here
Why?
Wish they saw me, I'll tell them everything about TRNC
What's that??
Me too

not even american
Is European university of lefke a good university for nursing? Im from kenya
Nope. Near east university is best.
All Universities in the occupied side of Cyprus (Northern Cyprus) are not recognized in most European countries.
What about those universities that have main campus in mainland Turkey but also another campus in North cyprus?
@@snaf7249 it’s hard to get into those ones if you are not Turkish National and unlike other universities they are not money trap.., as far as I know they are accredited same as the main campus.
In fact, I have met many Africans. They are lazy and like to complain everywhere. Even if they go to a developed country, they will complain. In short, people who complain will complain wherever they go.
@@snaf7249 these universities are a gray area of the education system... Some firms accept while others discard
you are 100 percent wrong. PLEASE DONT WRIGHT FROM YOUR FAT.
I would not consider an education in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to be problematic if the majority of the students who graduate from there end up getting good jobs and moving up the socio-economic ladder.
Free to Cyprus 🇨🇾
free from what? Cyprus which was ruled by different suzerains, but which never in its entire history came under Greek rule, was conquered by the Ottomans in 1571 and ruled by them until 1878 when it was rented to the biritish

To my African & middle eastern friends as well as everybody else who feel lost in Cyprus. Go to Scandinavia to study. mainly Norway & Denmark. here you get paid to study with a free monthly check not enough to live by but as a bonus because you study, ofcourse we hope after you are done you stay a few years. our Universities are free & so is everrything in our healthcare system. we pay high wages even for low income jobs.....We look forward to see you in our countries. remember the African saying : UBUNTU. !!
french always throw mud onto Turks. it is not unusual! tell us about those who come to cyprus and just do drags and fight constantly.
