The 5 most expensive universities in North Cyprus (2026)

Headline fee = the highest published undergraduate annual rate at each university, before any institutional scholarship (the sort key). After scholarship= the same row after the standard tier applies; “no auto. scholarship” means the headline rate is what students actually pay.

Why these particular universities sit at the top

• Dentistry posts the highest sticker price. FIU lists USD 22,200/year as the standard Dentistry fee — the single highest published headline rate on the island. The university’s 50% standard international scholarship pulls the effective rate to USD 11,100/year.
• Medicine drives the rest of the ceiling. The next four universities in the ranking all top out on their Medicine programs. EMU posts USD 18,140/year with no separate scholarship column (the published figure is what students pay); EUL, CIU and GAU follow with Medicine published in EUR.
• Headline vs. effective. The headline rate is what each university publishes prominently on its fees page — useful for comparing across institutions on the same basis. The after-scholarship column shows what international students actually pay once each university’s standard international scholarship tier applies. Several universities offer additional merit tiers (75%, 90%, 100%) on top, contingent on academic record.
• Currency matters. Some universities publish in USD, others in EUR. Headline rankings sort on the raw number; do a currency conversion before drawing strong cross-institution conclusions.
