European University of Lefke

Faculty of Arts & Sciences

The Faculty of Arts and Sciences was established in 1991, just a year after our university was founded in Lefke, one of the naturally richest and beautiful corners of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The Faculty today houses three major departments; Department of Psychology and Department of Molecular Biology & Genetics.

Setting out from the notion that mankind is a “social and cultural creature” and adopting the universally accepted missions of Arts and Science Faculties, the EUL’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences offers the means to acquire knowledge, carry out academic studies and research in the field of social sciences. More importantly, it aims to raise young generations equipped with the knowledge and knowhow of using the information they have acquired.

It is a known fact that universities provide an indisputable value to the areas, environment and surroundings in which they are located in. Our faculty, in line with its sense of duty collaborates with civil society organizations and institutions, both at the local and national level, to provide a social and cultural service to the local community.

In addition, the faculty constantly updates its institutional structure to accommodate the demands and needs of changing times. Departments operating under the Arts and Science Faculty periodically attend and contribute to scientific congresses, symposiums and conferences, both at the national and international level.

The Psychology Department, with a strong team of academic staff is the newest addition to the Faculty having started offering classes at the beginning of the 2013-2014 academic year. The department aims to raise competent psychologists in the field. Moreover, the Psychology Department’s counselling services project aims to provide psychological counselling to all students enrolled at the university, should it be required, is one of the university’s many social responsibility projects.

Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics undergraduate program started to provide education in the 2021-2022 academic year. Department’s main goals are to thoroughly explore the molecular causes of diseases and to instruct students in human biology and genetics. In addition, it is planned to contribute to science by conducting training and research aimed at finding solutions to the problems caused by diseases.
