Having entered the ranking for the first time last year in the field of “Economics and Econometrics”, EMU succeeded this year in being ranked among the world’s best universities in a total of four scientific fields.

EMU Featured Among Global Top 200 in the Field of “Hospitality and Leisure Management”
Ranked for the first time in the field of “Hospitality and Leisure Management” in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026, EMU achieved a significant success by being listed among the world’s top 200 universities in this field. Placed in the 151–175 band in “Hospitality and Leisure Management,” EMU became the only university from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) to enter the rankings and be listed among the top 200 in this field.
Following its first appearance in the “Economics and Econometrics” subject area, EMU once again succeeded to be featured on the said list for the second time, moving up to the 501-550 band compared to last year being ranked within the 551-700 band.
Moreover, EMU achieved success by entering the rankings for the first time in the fields of “Electrical and Electronic Engineering” and “Computer Science and Information Systems.” Placed in the 501–550 band in “Electrical and Electronic Engineering,” EMU became the only university from the TRNC to be ranked in this field. EMU was also ranked in the 751–800 band in “Computer Science and Information Systems”.
“EMU Will Sustain Its Strong Rise”
In his statement regarding the achievement, EMU Rector Prof. Dr. Hasan Kılıç underlined that EMU’s consistent inclusion among the world’s leading universities each year by various independent global ranking organizations is not coincidental. He noted that while EMU was ranked only in the field of “Economics and Econometrics” last year, it achieved a significant success this year by being included not only in “Economics and Econometrics” but also in “Hospitality and Leisure Management,” “Electrical and Electronic Engineering,” and “Computer Science and Information Systems,” despite the fact that this year marked QS’s most extensive evaluation, with more than 300 new universities added to the list. Prof. Dr. Kılıç stated that these results demonstrate that EMU continues to sustain its strong rise. Emphasizing that EMU’s placement among the world’s top 200 in “Hospitality and Leisure Management” is a great source of pride, he further noted that EMU has advanced by one band in “Economics and Econometrics” compared to the previous year and expressed satisfaction with achieving strong initial rankings in “Electrical and Electronic Engineering” and “Computer Science and Information Systems.” Prof. Dr. Kılıç concluded by congratulating all EMU staff who contributed to these achievements and wishing them continued success.
