Why we're doing this

We're not in the agent business.

Why does UniNorth exist?

UniNorth helps international students make safer, clearer decisions about studying in North Cyprus — verified university data, real cost estimates, residence permit guidance, and scam-risk checks in one place. Every fee, scholarship, and accreditation row links back to its university source, so any claim verifies in ten seconds. The alternative is scattered PDFs, agents quoting inflated tuition, and forum word-of-mouth. We collapse that into one independent platform — no agents, no commissions, no paid placements.

How can I trust the numbers?

Click the source link on any fee, scholarship, or accreditation row. It opens the university's own page or PDF — same number, same publisher. An automated pipeline re-checks every 14 days; differences land in a human review queue before they ship. Each university profile carries a Last verified date so you know how fresh the data is.

Who pays for this?

Self-funded for now. We will not take recruitment commissions, paid placements, or “preferred partner” deals from universities or agents — that's the entire reason this site exists. If we eventually monetise, it will be through affiliate links to non-conflicting services (visa filing, money transfer, language test prep) or paid premium content — never the universities themselves.
