A campus built for international students
GAU reports 12,000 students from 135 countries and more than 50,000 graduates, which matters when you are relocating from the Gulf with a family.
Girne American University lists Psychology among its doctoral programmes at its Institute of Graduate Studies and Research in Kyrenia, North Cyprus. GAU has not published this doctorate's curriculum, entry requirements or duration, so every figure is confirmed in writing first.
Girne American University runs its doctoral programmes through the Institute of Graduate Studies and Research at its Kyrenia campus in North Cyprus. Psychology appears on GAU's own PhD list, beside Business Management, Marketing, Management Information Systems, Educational Administration, Tourism and Hospitality Management and Law. That listing is the university's public statement that the doctorate exists in its academic catalogue.
What GAU does not publish is the detail. The graduate school page for this doctorate renders its title and then nothing: no module list, no semester plan, no stated duration, no entry requirements and no programme fee. GAU's master's-level psychology degrees are separate qualifications at a different level and cannot be read across to the doctorate.
So this page reports what is confirmed and says plainly what is not. GAU's prospectus prices its PhD programmes at €15,000 for the entire programme, charged at €750 per course, with a €9,000 anniversary offer listed; the university charges a €50 application fee and €350 registration each semester, and adds VAT. Recognition of the university is stated as YÖK in Turkey and YÖDAK in North Cyprus. Course-level facts are confirmed with the Institute before you pay anything.
Globally Recognised Psychology sits on the university's published PhD programme list, so the doctorate is part of GAU's academic catalogue rather than an external arrangement.
Study in the city where GAU's main campus sits, alongside an international student community the university reports at 135 nationalities.
GAU states recognition by YÖDAK, North Cyprus's higher education board, and YÖK, Turkey's Council of Higher Education.
Where GAU has published no detail, this page says so, and the missing facts are requested from the Institute before you commit.
GAU prices doctorates at €15,000 for the whole programme at €750 per course, with a €9,000 offer listed; VAT and registration are extra.
Duration, entry requirements and supervisor availability are confirmed in writing so the terms you accept are the terms you were given.

UK ENIC GAU reports 12,000 students from 135 countries and more than 50,000 graduates, which matters when you are relocating from the Gulf with a family.
Psychology doctorates suit clinicians, HR and organisational development leads, and education professionals who need doctoral standing rather than a second master's.
Applied, organisational, clinical and educational psychology topics are usually studied on problems in the student's own institution and country, which keeps the research useful after graduation.
GAU does not publish entry requirements for this doctorate, so the Institute confirms your eligibility, any science preparation and English proficiency evidence before you apply.
GAU's published doctoral price is €15,000 for the programme at €750 per course, with a €9,000 offer listed, plus VAT and a €350 semester registration charge. Ask for the figure for your intake.
Doctoral scholarships are not a safe assumption at GAU: the prospectus states scholarships are not available for master's and PhD programmes. Confirm any funding in writing before you budget.

Yes. Psychology appears on Girne American University's published list of PhD programmes, alongside Business Management, Marketing, Management Information Systems, Educational Administration, Tourism and Hospitality Management and Law. The doctorate is delivered through the Institute of Graduate Studies and Research at the Kyrenia campus in North Cyprus.
Because the university has not published one. GAU's graduate school page for this doctorate currently renders the programme title and nothing further: no modules, no semester plan and no course descriptions. Rather than fill that gap with assumptions, we request the current curriculum from the Institute and share it with you in writing.
GAU's prospectus prices PhD programmes at €15,000 for the entire programme, charged at €750 per course, with a €9,000 anniversary offer listed. A €50 application fee and €350 registration fee per semester apply, and VAT is added. The university does not publish a separate figure for Psychology, so confirm the programme fee for your intake in writing.
Do not assume so. GAU's prospectus states that scholarships are not available for master's and PhD programmes, while some GAU programme pages show a scholarship field as available. Because the two statements conflict, ask the Institute for a written funding decision before you build a budget around any reduction.
GAU has not published a duration for this specific doctorate. Its doctoral provision elsewhere runs across taught courses, a qualifying stage and a thesis, but that structure belongs to those programmes and cannot be assumed here. The Institute confirms your duration, entry point and intake date in writing.
GAU states recognition by YÖDAK, the higher education board of North Cyprus, and by YÖK, Turkey's Council of Higher Education, and holds NARIC recognition in the United Kingdom. Recognition of a qualification in your own country is a separate question, so check with the relevant authority there before enrolling.
