Faculty of Tourism

I sincerely welcome you all as part of the dynamic and multicultural academic community of our faculty. Tourism is a rapidly growing and strategically important sector for economic development in Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus as well as around the world. Our faculty aims to educate you as innovative, entrepreneurial and globally competitive individuals in this important field.

Through our education programs that focus on real-world experiences, we equip you not only with theoretical knowledge, but also with practical competencies, communication skills and ethical values. Whether you want to specialize in hospitality and travel management, make a difference in the culinary arts or contribute to sustainable tourism projects, you will find your own path here, develop and add value to the industry.

Our Tourism and Hotel Management and Gastronomy and Culinary Arts departments offer you a rich learning environment with their strong academic staff and close collaborations with the industry. Especially studying in a city like Kyrenia, which is at the center of tourism, will provide a significant advantage for your career. Thanks to our programs supported by applied training, our students gain sector experience before graduation and grow up as individuals ready for business life.

I encourage you to make the most of the opportunities offered to you – communicate with our academic staff, participate in teamwork, take part in research projects, get involved in student clubs and play an active role in social events. This semester at the Faculty of Tourism will shape not only your professional skills, but also your personal development and your view of the world.

Let’s shape the future of tourism together.
