High school diploma for admission to the Faculty of Medicine Students from the Republic of Turkey are admitted through the university selection and placement exam conducted by ÖSYM. Students who are citizens of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus are admitted to the programme through the examination and placement conducted by our university. International students are accepted to the programme by evaluating their high school graduation grades. English level is also evaluated.

If a student who wants to transfer from another medical faculty wants to come to the English department, he/she must prove his/her English proficiency. Only full-time students are accepted to the Faculty of Medicine. Part-time and listener students are not accepted. For those who want to transfer to the Faculty of Medicine from another medical faculty in the Republic of Turkey, in order to be able to register to the Faculty; Student Placement Examination (ÖYS) scores in the year they take the exam must not be lower than the base score of the Faculty of Medicine for that year. After the transcript of the candidate student is examined by the Near East University Faculty of Medicine Transfer Commission, he/she is placed in the appropriate class. International students are accepted according to the results of the examination made by the Faculty Transfer Commission. The Horizontal Transfer Commission makes an evaluation according to the Faculty's Education and Examination Regulations.

DURATION OF THE PROGRAMME: 6 years (this period does not include the English preparatory class; the English preparatory class is only for students who will receive their education in English).
TYPE OF EDUCATION: Full-time
The main feature of the medical doctorate education at Near East University is that the courses in the first, second and third grades are given according to subjects rather than departments. In this education system, which is called integrated system, a specific subject, for example the circulatory system, is taken into consideration and basic medical sciences such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and clinical sciences related to this subject are taught in a certain order.
The medical doctor programme can be divided into two parts: the first three years of pre-clinical education and the last three years of clinical education. In the first, second and third years, the ‘Good Medical Practice’ programme is also implemented. The aim of this programme is to provide medical students with the skills and attitudes required by a good physician in addition to theoretical and practical courses. In the first year of medical education, students are mainly taught basic sciences, and in the second year, the basics of anatomy, physiology, histology, biochemistry and microbiology of systems are taught. In the third year, systems, physiopathology, pathology, pharmacology and clinical sciences are discussed. The fourth and fifth years of medical education are devoted to clinical internships. In addition to work on patients, clinical training and lectures, seminars are also held in the wards. Sixth year pre-graduation internship period before graduation. In this year, students prepare themselves for medicine by taking responsibility under the supervision of faculty members and specialists.

The student who successfully completes the medical doctorate programme
