Student stories

What students say

“I came for Acting without speaking a word of Turkish; the preparatory year got me stage-ready. Performing in the campus theatre in front of a full hall last spring is a memory I will keep forever.”

Youssef BenaliActing (Turkish) · Morocco

“Actuarial Science is a rare program, and Near East University offered it with a fifty percent scholarship. The math department paired me with a mentor in my first month, which made the transition from Almaty easier.”
