Five universities in North Cyprus offer undergraduate Nutrition and Dietetics across a four-year curriculum. Annual tuition for international students runs from EUR 3,225 (post-scholarship at Near East University) to EUR 5,750 (European University of Lefke, no scholarship listed). Cyprus International University lists a gross fee of EUR 6,890, which drops to EUR 3,445 after its standard scholarship. Programs are available in English, Turkish, or both depending on the institution. Two universities hold AHPGS programmatic accreditation specifically for Nutrition and Dietetics — a detail that matters if you care about external quality benchmarks beyond institutional oversight.
What to know first
The sharpest cost divide sits between NEU and EUL. Near East University's post-scholarship rate of EUR 3,225 is the lowest in this group; European University of Lefke charges EUR 5,750 with no scholarship reduction shown in available data. CIU lands in the middle at EUR 3,445 after its standard scholarship, though its gross fee of EUR 6,890 is the highest listed — meaning the scholarship does real work. NEU holds only institutional accreditation (YÖDAK/YÖK) at the program level, while CIU and EUL carry AHPGS accreditation specifically for Nutrition and Dietetics.
Why this matters
One non-obvious pattern: CIU's "after scholarship" figure of EUR 3,445 is higher than NEU's EUR 3,225, yet CIU carries AHPGS programmatic accreditation and NEU does not at the program level. That gap matters if your target country or licensing board asks for external quality verification beyond TRNC's YÖDAK/YÖK framework. Also worth noting: where an "after scholarship" fee appears higher than expected, that typically reflects VAT and administrative charges included in the published figure — confirm the full cost breakdown directly with the institution before budgeting.
Accreditation context
AHPGS (Akkreditierungsagentur im Bereich Gesundheit und Soziales) is a German-based agency that accredits health-science programs internationally. Both CIU and EUL hold AHPGS accreditation specifically for Nutrition and Dietetics. EUL additionally holds SABAK accreditation for its Turkish-language Nutrition and Dietetics track — SABAK is a TRNC-based subject-area accreditor. NEU's program sits under institutional accreditation only (YÖDAK and Turkey's YÖK), with no program-level external body captured in available data. None of the accreditations listed here explicitly enable professional licensure in the EU, US, or UK — verify current validity dates directly with each accrediting body before enrolling.
