With the development process of Higher Education, modern programs such as space sciences and aviation industry started to take the first place in the TR Sectoral Development Program. In order to keep up with the development process of the modern world, notion of internationalization is our major necessity. Like in other sectors, necessary contacts, interactions, cooperation and shares protects its necessity also in the Higher Education at an international level.

At this point, it is a inevitable fact that TRNC universities which admits students from 120 different countries and make their international accredited and parity communications in top level also directs the world’s higher education. Along with the TRNC and TR universities, the governments should take their steps together in any international acceptances, by this way legislative regulations will carry the higher educations of TRNC and TR onward from their locations.
