Near East University was the only TRNC university to be included in the list in the field of physics in the “Best Global Universities 2022-2023” field ranking published by the US News & World Report.

In the same list, Near East University, which was ranked 436th in the world in the field of engineering and shown as the best university in Cyprus and the best foundation university in Turkey in this field, was ranked 676th in the world in the field of “physics”. Near East University is also a part of many experiments carried out in CERN (European Nuclear Research Center) and BESIII (BEijing Spectrometer) projects, one of the most prestigious research centers in the world.


Near East University makes significant contributions to world science in the field of physics.
Taking an active role in many research studies carried out at CERN, which was established by the cooperation of European countries to solve the secrets of the universe, and BESIII (BEijing Spectrometer) projects initiated in China, Near East University makes significant contributions to world science in the field of physics.

The CERN and BESIII projects of the Near East University are carried out by a team of scientists who have made a name for themselves in the field of physics. In the team, Prof. Dr. Kerem Cankoçak, Prof. Dr. Isa Dumanoğlu, Prof. Dr. İsmail Uman, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dilber Uzun Özşahin, Assoc. Prof. Dr. İlker Özşahin, Assist. Prof. Dr. Sercan Sen are taking place.

Prof. Dr. İrfan Suat Günsel: “We will take our place among the top 500 universities in the world in the field of physics with the studies we carry out at CERN and BESIII, two of the most important projects of world science.”
Emphasizing that it is one of the most important principles of Near East University to share the scientific knowledge it produces with the scientific world and make it available for the benefit of humanity, Near East University Chairman of the Board of Trustees Prof. Dr. İrfan Suat Günsel said: “The fact that we are the only university from the TRNC to be included in the list of the world’s best universities in the field of physics by the US News & World Report is an important result of our efforts.”

Reminding that the Near East University is ranked 436th in the world in the field of engineering in the field ranking published by US News & World Report, Prof. Dr. İrfan Suat Günsel said, “We ranked 676th in the world in physics, but we still have a long way to go. We will take our place among the top 500 universities in the world in the field of physics with the studies carried out by our team at CERN and BESIII, two of the most important projects of world science.”
