How is life in North Cyprus? Can I work and study?

Kindly ensure you are financially capable of paying your full fees including accommodation, tuition, maintenance and living expenses before traveling abroad either to Cyprus, USA, UK, Germany and Iraq or even South Africa.

if you are going abroad for a master program; considering my experience and most international students in various countries; ensure you already have 80% of the entire fees if you are not given 100% scholarship.

For undergrad ensure at least 2.5 years fees is fully ready and standby.

Best wishes!

EMU said the fee $1753 is non refundable, is it okay I pay now or I should hold on till they lift the ban?

Did you receive email about Ban from EMU? Please read the message from the earlier poster clearly; it says NEU!

Also, if you’re have a specific questions relating to your admission or fees payment; I encourage you to email or call EMU; the university has professionals that handles international students queries.

As I have mentioned in some of my earlier posts in some months ago, universities and immigration in Cyprus are currently working on modalities to ban or institute some conditions for applicants from certain countries. Only academically and financially ready students will be accommodated.

If some of the proposals come approved; they may impose:
—full tuition for entire study period
—restrict number of applicants that will be allowed yearly from such country
—many others

Good day WIP7 et Al
NEU recently sent me an email stating they won't register students for fall as Govt has placed an entry ban on Nigerians and I will have to wait till ban is lifted... Pls what do I do from here? Have tried asking for a refund but they said until visa is refused.

Kindly advise.thank you

Registration for FALL is too early, so kindly wait. And generally university refund only when visa is refused but as I said no need to panic since FALL is still very very far we are even yet to start exam for spring semester and summer is still not started yet.

richy16:


Thank you,why am considering Cyprus is because of Germany Street lately, please if I may ask how is life in North Cyprus?can I move to Germany after some months in Cyprus?is it advisable I do this?

Cyprus would prefer students that want to study and complete their studies in Cyprus not using Cyprus as a bridge.

If you want to go/study in another country, you can apply directly to that country instead of going from one to another; doing this will make visa and admission difficult for genuine students from your country that want to complete their education in Cyprus. This has already affected and affecting Cameroonian applicants, now universities in Cyprus started blocking or making admission much difficult for Cameroonians.

richy16:

Thank you for your response, do I need a block account before I can be granted a visa?

Cyprus don’t need a block account that’s done for students traveling to study in Germany.

You only need a bank statement that attest to your financial capabilities during visa documentation.

good day everyone i just got admitted to Eastern Mediterranean university, i was told to pay $1753, i was told i got a 50% scholarship,i dont know if this has already applied to the fee or am to pay half of 1753,also if i pay this fee,can i get an invitation letter to apply for a visa?

EMU admission letter is written well if you carefully read it. Anyway, all fees in the admission letter already included/applied the 50% discount. So what you are paying is the discounted fees, ensure you are paying directly into EMU bank account to avoid stories.

After your payment is confirmed by EMU, your details will be forwarded to Turkish embassy so you can apply for a visa and you will also receive payment confirmation letter which you will supply to the embassy as well.

@Wip , can you please put me through on how process this OKTB

Yes

@Wip7
Please, is Cyprus still on restriction for incoming student.. my session starts 31th June.. have anyone entered lately?

Cyprus does not restrict incoming students; within last 15 days more than 25 of my students already registered and taking classes online arrived Cyprus already.

EdmundDantes:


Thanks. Your considerations and efforts are highly appreciated.

I just got message from my faculty IT unit, the software can work outside the university network. However, only on the registered machine of the faculty members can the executable files load.

Prof @wip7 good day hope you are doing well. I have a small question don't know if you have a solution for me, I am graduate of EMU and wish to have my credentials evaluated by WES. Please do you know how one can request for his official transcripts and diploma supplement to be forwarded to WES if the person is no longer in TRNC.
Thank You

It’s easy, all emu graduates are issued alumni email address and you can easily use this email to request for that. If you did not activate this email, You have two options:

1. Direct option: Fill the WES form with all the details, sign it and email it to the registrar office. There is a person that handles this; they will tell you how much it cost for official transcript and how much to post it to WES and means of payment. So go ahead and pay; ensure you ask when it will be sent and if there are any tracking (generally they used normal post office for cheapest option which cost less but you may request them use MNG OR Aras Kargo which is faster but more expensive).

You may first contact the registration office via email first for the procedure to request your transcript and send to WES; they may already have a template and procedure to take.


2. Indirect option: if you still have a friend or someone you know at EMU; send the filled WES form to them person; email EMU registrar office and copied the friend email. Let the person follow up for WES transcript sending; this may be faster but may be expensive if you are to pay the person for follow up.

Generally EMU is fast and already be doing this process for ages so you won’t have issues with that.

When I did mine in 2015, I used MNG kargo to WES Canada it cost me 50$ and arrived 4 days after and emu charged 100 TL for official transcript then. Now transcript might have increased to 150 TL (am unsure) and MNG kargo is around 70$ to Canada/USA as of 2 months ago while post office will cost just 30 TL and takes 15-30 days to arrive.

Researchers in Environmental Pollution mitigation


This handbook will be valuable for Researchers working in environmental protection, pollutant analysis and mitigation.

Check it out!it contains methods and procedures for various techniques.

Good day Prof, pls I have a question. I was offered admission in NEU and on the conditional acceptance letter it states that
"You will be required to take Language Proficiency Exam and only after successfully passing this exam will you proceed Master
Program".
My question is do I need to take this exam as English is what I had my undergraduate degree in?

Yea all new students who are not native speakers take the entry English test. For any Nigerian; it’s easiest test which is just basic but I have seen a recent trend that even many Nigerian failed the test and the university sends them to English preparatory school.

If you have English test scores you will be exempted, otherwise you will take the test before you are fully registered.

Best wishes!

I have some personal network files from way back that I would like to like to reload in it and then port to a more modern software. They are for my personal research.

We have a faculty distributed version that’s currently working. I will ask the faculty admin if it can work on system outside the uni network then I shall get it for you.

EdmundDantes:


Hi, are you referring to Neurodesigner Editor? If yes, can you assist with the setup file? I have searched the web for it to no avail. It appears they stopped its production.

So I can be sure I'm leading you in the proper direction, what specifically are you interested in or what do you want to do?

Greetings to the members of this thread.

I am a Masters student of Chemical Engineering in Nigeria. I also hold a Diploma in Environmental Engineering. My research area is design of processes that utilize waste as material and energy resources. Right now i'm working on utilization of agricultural waste for energy generation via biomass combustion.
The picture attached is a rough model I tried using palm kernel shell.
Advice is welcomed from these respected scholars in the house

This is good and well done.

What about CO2 emissions and other pollution as a result of the system you created? The orange colour of the flame indicates that it is not totally clean energy. Are you addressing that or how do you intend to address it in your design?


Have you considered a biomass gasification system that is both commercially and environmentally beneficial?

You can scale your design into a biomass-gasification conversion system for highly efficient power generation or you can design a similar system with some modifications to produce hydrogen gas or directly generate electricity.

Hydrogen Energy's Benefits

It is essentially a non-polluting energy source : When hydrogen is used to make fuel, the byproducts are completely harmless, with no known adverse effects. Hydrogen is used as a source of drinking water in the aerospace industry. Hydrogen is usually transformed into drinking water for astronauts on ships or space stations after it has been used.

Hydrogen Energy is Non-toxic: It's non-toxic and uncommon as a source of energy. This indicates it's environmentally benign and doesn't harm or destroy human health in any way. This distinguishes it from other forms of energy, such as nuclear power and natural gas, which are both exceedingly dangerous and difficult to harness properly.

Use of Hydrogen Greatly Reduces Pollution: When hydrogen and oxygen are mixed in a fuel cell, electricity is generated, which can be used to power automobiles, run an electric motor as a heat source, and a variety of other things. The sole byproducts of hydrogen's reaction with oxygen are water and heat, which is one of the benefits of using hydrogen as an energy carrier.


Take note it has some disadvantages as well mainly storage complications and still new tech.


Now the biomass can be converted to Hydrogen gas (see attached paper) or another type of cooking gas or for direct electricity generation.

Good morning guys, my brother Inlaw got an admission into one of the university in Cyprus, the agent told him that he will get is student visa on arrival at the point of entry, please I need more clarity on this. I want to know how true it is.

Visit Turkish visa center in Lagos or ABUJA to apply for a visa it cost 100$ For now.

New TRNC/Turkey Visa Center in Lagos

Applicants living in Lagos or nearby can now apply at the Voya Visa center for a TRNC student visa.

Clue188:
Hello, good morning. Please I had an agent who applied for Cyprus International university for me and I was given admission at the school. I've also paid for the acceptance fee but the issue I'm having now is that my lecture is to start by September this year and I want to know if I can leave before next month June. Please is it possible to leave by June while my lecture starts by September? I also want to know if the school will be the one to send a departure date for me or I will be the one to chose the date I will leave to cyprus because my agent told me that it is the school that will give a date I will travel to Cyprus. Please I need respond as soon as possible. Thank you sir/ma

First, the university will not announce the date god you to depart, however, university advise all new students only to arrive just few weeks (1-2 weeks) to the start of their semester.

One important thing to note is that, all students must have a legal resident permit which you can only apply after the university completely registered you into the immigration database. The university will only register new students completely when that semester starts.

To answer your question: before pandemic; university and immigration will only allow any new students arrive the country 1-3 weeks to start of the course/semester.

Due to pandemic; this rule has been relaxed since education is mostly online. But the question still remains why coming to Cyprus in June when your semester starts in September? The country is still partly locked due to pandemic, house rent and living expenses are on the high side. Jobs are scarce so what is motivating you to come early ? To enjoy the summer hot sun or the clean beach? Which will likely be closed to avoid virus spreading.

Best wishes!

Good afternoon boss@wip7.
I have a B.Sc in Applied Microbiology and brewing and presently pursuing an M.Sc in Environmental Quality Management.
Recently, I noticed there are a lot of Ph.D scholarships in the field of microbiology and chemistry ( I may be wrong though)

Yes, as far as I'm aware, there are a variety of scholarship opportunities in Chemistry and other science-related fields. With the current pandemic, several funding organisations are diverting funds to study this or potential topics in that corridor, as well as environmental issues.

Now to increase my chances of getting a fully- funded Ph.D scholarship, I'm being swayed to look in the direction Microbiology again.
Is this move OK sir?
Thank you so much Prof.

Microbiology is a fascinating discipline that has contributed to many scientific breakthroughs. If you like it, go for it, and because you already know what you're doing, it'll be a lot simpler. The most critical is to conduct research in areas that allow for cross-disciplinary collaboration, commercial benefit, and near industrial application, as well as areas that contribute significantly to current and future challenges.

Too many people are pursuing a PhD these days, either because they want to be called a doctor or because they believe it will help them solve their current problems. However, a PhD programme should go above and beyond that. I wish you luck while you work on it. There are so many fields of applied microbiology research that you can investigate.

Just Published: Ferrite based Materials for decontamination of antibiotic wastewater and bacterial contamination


The removal of antibiotic residues and metabolites from aqueous environments is crucial because antibiotic resistance induced by excessive
consumption of antibiotics is an increasing global health hazard that leads to higher medical costs and increased mortality.

The study: here, we developed high-performance silver-doped ferrites for the rapid killing of bacteria species in contaminated water and antibiotic decontamination. This study will be valuable for those working in photocatalysis, bacterial killing and environmental management.

Research carried out by WIP7 and PhD student and a visiting researcher from Bostwana.

Modified Graphene for Magnetic Hyperthermia cancer therapy

Cancer treatment with high accuracy is a major concern of medical community.

The typical therapies in-practice for cancer treatment include radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery. However, apart from being painful, these therapies lead to several side effects.

Our approach:

Here, we developed modified magnetic graphene for magnetic hyperthermia which is an alternative and promising non-invasive approach for cancer treatment. The magnetic thermoseeds are injected directly into the tumor area of the patient then the area is heated to an elevated temperature.

Researchers: this is research is supervised by Prof.wip7, carried out by one new phd student and two master students.

These are low-cost sensors that can be run by any person and useful for various applications ranging from agriculture, environmental, medical and health.

Prof wip7 demonstrating the use of these sensors.

[quote author=BrainArch post=101604854]@wip7 , I was given admission msc in grine American university on March 15 last session and have paid my school fees of $1000. Could not travel because the session have started a week after my admission letter. Can I transfer to the next session?? . Am supposed to on 26th may.

*How can i change me session cause I head it can only be changed once.

Contact the university to change your admission letter to the upcoming semester.

*plan on traveling on may 26th, it’s that a good time to travel for next session since admission have started for that

Are you planning to join GAU for the summer semester? Generally, summer starts Around July, hence, travelling on May 26th is a waste of resources and noting you will be doing. If you are joining GAU for the Fall semester (September); it's totally unwise decision to come this early. Accommodation cost is averagely high and living expenses; its advisable to arrive just 10-15 days to the start of any semester you are joining.

Hello Dear Senior Colleagues and Mentors,
I am a new PhD student in Computer Science. I am into Natural Language Processing, Optical Character Recognition and Automated Speech Recognition. Please I would need help on how jornals are being written and where to source for materials. Please is there anyone also on same part with me that can mentor me?
Thank you.

It is nice to have you around. The thread is updated to assist new, existing and graduated PhD students in terms of happenings, research etc. Also, contributors in other fields have largely been scarce.


Regarding your queries:

Please I would need help on how jornals are being written and where to source for materials

To source academic resources, you will need to search in reputable locations. The quality of the resources you used during your research will have a profound effect on the manuscript. I have given the steps in many of my previous posts. I will summarize again for you here:


Visit the following sites:

-- ScienceDirect: I'll show you screenshots of how to use keywords to browse. The arrows point to relevant information that you should review. By simply typing the keyword "NLP" into this site's search engine, you'll find that nearly 300,000 papers/books about NLP have been written. You can read any paper that is relevant to your research area by downloading it.

You can download more than 30 papers on the same or similar titles/topics to see what has been done and how it has been done to get a deeper understanding and references.

Note: The quality of work here will be high and all her peer-reviewed.

---Web of Science: This is quite valuable only contains work from certain indexes. So you can search from there also. See the attached pictures.


----Others are Taylor and Francis, Springer, Elsevier and Google Scholar.


How to write a Research Article?

After you read like 20 research articles you will notice the common headings like introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion and References. Check each paper you have downloaded to see the common things written under these headings that will assist you to start writing yours. Consult further with your supervisors, seniors at the school etc.

I hope this helps!

Okay thanks a bunch. I have tried contacting the school severally but they don’t even respond. I don’t even understand why they don’t reply their email.

That’s how CIU is anyway. They have a phone number you can search to contact them also. Another faster way is to get in touch with the rector of the university.

First try to call them if you can’t still reach them through out this week. Email me I will send you the direct contact of the heads of the university there.

Rhymeyjohn:

Thanks for this prof. Wip7

I searched the name on Google.
Is this job opportunity available to those currently outside North Cyprus?

I teach chemistry in an international school in Nigeria

According to the head of school, they did not specify they just in need for those teachers; you can apply and before offering you job they will interview you to ensure you meet the standard of their college since is an international college from there you can tell your location.

Hey house. Greetings to mr wip and every member.
I did apply for Cyprus International University and have paid for tuition fees and all of which I have spent close to 1.4m but couldn’t enter the country on March because my flight money wasn’t complete yet.
I am to go through OKTB but the person that helped process the admission said I can still enter on September but I will have to pay another $300 for deferring my admission.
It’s all confusing and I don’t know if I am on the right track. Please advise

There is no payment to defer admission. Just contact the university directly with your details to get a new admission letter.

They don’t pay for admission deferment.
