STUDENTS APPLYING FOR MASTERS DEGREE AT GAU WILL EARN THE RIGHT TO STUDY WITH SCHOLARSHIPS IN 3 INTERCONTINENTAL CAMPUSES

Special for its 30th year, Girne American University (GAU) states they will give a special scholarship to all students that graduate in the TRNC.

GAU explains that the 2015 intercontinental scholarship exams will include two formats; the first being for the students who were educated in Turkish colleges will be YGS formatted (multiple choice). The exam booklet will have 40 Turkish, 40 Social Sciences, 40 Mathematics and 40 Science questions with a total of 160. As for the students who have been educated in English colleges they will be able to choose an exam booklet between ARTS and SCIENCE (also including 160 questions), at the same time, they will have the choice of choosing the Turkish YGS formatted booklet.  GAU also stated that the exams duration is 160 minutes and that the questions answered incorrectly will not affect the ones completed correctly, so the grades will be given accordingly.

Furthermore, in the 2014-2015 academic year, during fall semester, scholarship and registration exams will take place on Saturday 6th June at 10 o’clock at Girne American University’s Millennium building located in Kyrenia, Cyprus. At the latest the students must be there ready at 09:30 with their entry papers and ID cards. 

2 days after the exam, 9th June 2015, the students that apply for the exam will personally be contacted by GAU’s staff about the scholarship and registration results with the numbers given on the forms.

Great advantage for Turkish nationals who graduate from TRNC colleges!

The decision made in 2012 by the Girne American University Senate meeting was that Turkish national students who complete their college education in the TRNC will have the same advantages that TRNC nationals have, such as applying for the scholarship exam, educational fees and the same scholarship fees. However, in order for Turkish national candidates to benefit from the TRNC Entrance and Scholarship exams they need to take the non-scholared YGS-LYS exam by ÖSYM. 

Exam applications between 1st March and 5th June can be completed via colleges or GAU Student Affairs Office Presidency; candidates are required to submit an ID photocopy and 2 passport photographs. The examination fee is announced to be 50TL and the application form must be complete.

The application for the entrance exam will be at all TRNC colleges.
