We take a personalised approach to every application — reviewing your personal statement, academic transcripts, supporting documents, and any additional materials that reflect who you are and what you’re capable of achieving.
Our student community represents over 60 nationalities and 30 different cultures, making CWU one of the most internationally diverse universities in North Cyprus. Whatever your background, wherever you’re coming from — you belong here.
Entry Requirements for Graduate Programmes
Academic Requirement A Bachelor’s degree from a recognised university is required for admission to our graduate programmes. CWU currently offers the MBA programme, and a Bachelor’s degree in Business, Economics, or Marketing is preferred. Applicants with degrees in other disciplines are welcome to apply and may be required to complete foundation courses before beginning the core MBA curriculum. There is no age limit for postgraduate study.
Language Requirements We accept a range of internationally recognised English language qualifications. If you do not hold a language proficiency certificate, you will be required to sit the CWU Language Proficiency Test upon arrival in the TRNC. A minimum B2 level is required to begin studying in English or Turkish.
If you do not pass the test on arrival, you will be enrolled in our English Preparatory Programme, giving you up to two years (four semesters) to reach the required B2 level before progressing to your degree.
