To be a recognized institution you have to meet specific criteria. Any institution in Cyprus has to apply to the relevant authorities of Republic of Cyprus which will evaluate the courses offered by the institution and recognize what meets the required standards.
I am guessing that the "universities" in the occupied areas didn't even apply.
For your information, in the free areas of Cyprus the private institutions are striving for years to be recognizes as universities (instead of colleges), since the required standards to be a university in Cyprus are high, something that I doubt the "universities" in occupied areas can meet.
I just notice what you two said here…well before you say something is better to learn if it is true or not …or just say I am not sure or I believe that….
1. Universities in the north of Cyprus are indeed recognised as higher education institutions and some of the are even members of EUA (European University Association) and IAU (International Association of Universities)
2. The University of Cyprus had given places to TC before that.
3. The Universities in the north wanted to be members of the Bologna Process but they didn’t make it. That’s the biggest issue with the RoC
4. The Universities in occupied areas can meet the high required standards of the University and the government.
5. The RoC doesn’t have any authorities on those Universities since Turkey occupy the north part and will not go there to check if they have all the requirements and give them our bless for occupying the island. Those Universities for the RoC are illegal so they can not go into the procedure to recognise them.
Any other questions?
