They are the Eastern Mediterranean University, The Near East University, The Girne American University, The European University of Lefke and The Cyprus International University all of which have long proved themselves as primary centres for higher education in the Mediterranean.

All of these five universities offer a wide range of programmes through the faculties of Engineering, Economics, Administrative Sciences, Fine Arts, Agricultural Sciences and Technologies, Communications, Law, Education, Tourism and Hotel Management, and Computer Sciences leading to BA, B.Sc., MBA and PHD degrees in various fields have English preparatory schools for those students who do not have sufficient English.
