1.7. International Academic Collaborations
The medical education pathway at Girne American University is structured to include three years of comprehensive theoretical and practical pre-clinical instruction at Girne American University , followed by two years of clinical clerkships conducted at an accredited teaching hospital in Northern Cyprus, and culminating in a full one-year internship at Mersin University. According to the collaboration agreement with Mersin University, all medical students will complete their final year of training, including the internship, at the Mersin University Faculty of Medicine. This integrated structure ensures a continuous, high-quality medical education spanning pre-clinical, clinical, and internship training phases
