Message from the RectorAs the Rector of Final International University, it is my pleasure to introduce you to a unique addition to the higher educational map in North Cyprus. FIU is the product of a highly innovative

We are dedicated to ensuring at all times the health, welfare, and happiness of all our students, and to ensuring that FIU graduates will stand out not just for their knowledge, but for being ‘work-ready’, and an immediate asset to their future employers.
We look forward to welcoming you at FIU in the 2017 - 2018 academic year.
